Garden
max area is if the sides are as equal as possible
so he should try to make a square (ideal is a circle, but barn walls are normally straight)
squaer perimiter=4 times legnth of 1 side
perimiter=amount of fencing=80
80=4s
divide 4
20=s
one sides=20

area=legnth times width
in squaer, legnth=width

20=legnth
20=width
area=20 times 20=400

dimetions are 20ft by 20ft to give 400ft^2
(fun fact, if it were a circle, the area would be about 509.5ft^2)


answer is 20ft by 20ft and area=400ft^2

Which is the graph of f(x)=√x?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Given function:

f(x)=\sqrt{x}

Replace f(x) for y:

\implies y=\sqrt{x}

Square both sides:

\implies y^2=x

This is a <u>sideways parabola</u> that opens to the <em>right</em>, with an axis of symmetry at y = 0.  (Refer to attachment 1)

If we square root this again, we get:

\implies \sqrt{y^2}=\sqrt{x}

\implies y=\pm\sqrt{x}

So y=\sqrt{x} is the part of the parabola in quadrant I → (x, y)

And y=-\sqrt{x} is the part of the parabola in quadrant IV → (x, -y)

(Refer to attachment 2)

Therefore, the graph of the given function is <u>attachment 3</u>.

In an arithmetic sequence, the 10th term is 37, and the 21st term is 4. Find the common difference and the first term
Masja [62]

Answer:

Common difference is 3. And the first term is 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The differnce between 21 and 10 is 11. So there are 11 unknown numbers in between.  And the difference between 37 and 4 is 33. 33/11 is equal to 3. So the pattern is minus three. the first term is 9 terms before 37. 9 times 3 is 27. 37+27 is equal to 64. so the first term is 64

Need help please, does any one know how to do this​
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

  • (6-u)/(2+u)
  • 8/(u+2) -1
  • -u/(u+2) +6/(u+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few ways you can write the equivalent of this.

1) Distribute the minus sign. The starting numerator is -(u-6). After you distribute the minus sign, you get -u+6. You can leave it like that, so that your equivalent form is ...

  (-u+6)/(u+2)

Or, you can rearrange the terms so the leading coefficient is positive:

  (6 -u)/(u +2)

__

2) You can perform the division and express the result as a quotient and a remainder. Once again, you can choose to make the leading coefficient positive or not.

  -(u -6)/(u +2) = (-(u +2)-8)/(u +2) = -(u+2)/(u+2) +8/(u+2) = -1 + 8/(u+2)

or

  8/(u+2) -1

Of course, anywhere along the chain of equal signs the expressions are equivalent.

__

3) You can separate the numerator terms, expressing each over the denominator:

(-u +6)/(u+2) = -u/(u+2) +6/(u+2)

__

4) You can also multiply numerator and denominator by some constant, say 3:

  -(3u -18)/(3u +6)

You could do the same thing with a variable, as long as you restrict the variable to be non-zero. Or, you could use a non-zero expression, such as 1+x^2:

  (1+x^2)(6 -u)/((1+x^2)(u+2))
