You write it as a ratio eg. SF(large→small)=20:7
For the largest area, half the fence is used parallel to the river, and the other half is used for the two ends of the rectangular space.
The dimensions are 475 m by 237.5 m.
_____
Let x represent the length along the river. Then the area (A) is found as
.. A = x*(950 -x)/2
This equation describes a parabola with its vertex (maximum) halfway between the zeros of x=0 and x=950. That is, the maximum area is achieved when half the fence is used parallel to the river.
Answer:
214
Step-by-step explanation:
The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,
4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,
4x + 6 = 854,
4x = 854 - 6 = 848,
x = 848/4 = 212
The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214
Answer:
m=4 is the correct answer
Answer:
infinite number of solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Work with the second equation. Subtract 8x from both sides.
- 4y + 8x - 8x = -8x - 12 Collect like terms.
-4y = - 8x - 12 Divide by - 4
-4y/-4 = - 8x/-4 - 12/-4
y = 2x + 3
That is exactly the same line as the first given. There is an infinite number of solutions.
