Answer:
If you draw this out, you can see that total fence equation will be:
2L + 4W = 1200
Simplify, divide by 2
L + 2W = 600
L = (600-2W)
:
Area;
A = L*W
Substitute (600-2W) for L:
A = (600-2W)*W
A = -2W^2 + 600W; a quadratic equation
:
The dimension that will produce the greatest area will be the "axis of symmetry
which is: x = %28-b%29%2F%282a%29
:
In this equation a=-2, b=600
W = %28-600%29%2F%282%2A-2%29
W = %28-600%29%2F%28-4%29
W = +150 ft is the width
:
Find the length
L = 600 - 2(150)
L = 300 ft is the length
:
We can say the a field 300 by 150 gives he greatest area
:
This illustrated on a graph where y axis is the area and x axis is the width:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using proportions, it is found that he bikes:
- 28.5 miles in one and a hour.
- 47.5 miles in two and a hours.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
In this problem, the proportion is that he bikes 9.5 miles each half hour, hence:
- In one hour, he bikes 2 x 9.5 = 19 miles.
- In one and a half hour, he bikes 3 x 9.5 = 28.5 miles.
- In two hours, 4 x 9.5 = 38 miles.
- In two and a half hours, he bikes 5 x 9.5 = 47.5 miles.

Ax+by=c
First you'll find the equation of the graphed line in slope-intercept form, y = mx+b, and then from there we'll convert it into standard form, ax+by = c.
