Answer:(4 x 0, 4 x ( - 1)), or 0, -4)
Area is equal to length times width. The perimeter (the amount of rope) has to equal twice the length added to twice the width so we're left with:
A = l * w
200 = 2l + 2w
solve for either l or w
l = 100 - w
plug into the area equation to get one equation with two variables
A = w(100 - w)
A = -w^2 + 100w
take the derivative
A' = -2w + 100
set the derivative equal to zero
0 = -2w + 100
2w = 100
w = 50
This is the width that maximizes the area
with a width of 50, the length must also be 50 to have a perimeter of 200
therefore, they can rope up to 50 * 50 = 2500 ft^2
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
The function with the given zeros will factor as ...
f(x) = a(x +15)(x^2 +9) . . . . with leading coefficient 'a'
You have ...
f(2) = 221 = a(2+15)(2^2+9) = a(17)(13) = 221a
Then a = 221/221 = 1
The leading coefficient is 1.

<em>Additional comment</em>
As you know, a function with zero x=p has a factor of (x -p). The given zeros mean the function has factors (x -(-15)), (x -3i). and (x -(-3i)). The product of the last two factors is the difference of squares: (x^2 -(3i)^2) = (x^2 -(-9)) = (x^2 +9). This is how we arrived at the factorization shown above.
