Question

A wire 24 inches long is to be cut into four pieces to form a rectangle with one side of length x. Write the area A of the rectangle as a function of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the function is the Area, then Area = length*width = x*(12-x) = 12x - x^2Domain is x>0, since you can't have a rectangle with negative length.

0 < x<6, If x is 7 then width would be 5, but x must be shorter
