First you want to subtract 36
so it looks like this
Then you want to cancel out the square root 4 by raising that to the 4th power (you must do this to both sides)
which is equal to
Then you take the cube root to both sides [tex]\sqrt[3]{(4x+164)^3}=\sqrt[3]{16777216}[tex]
Then you end up with the equation 4x+164=256
Then subtract 164 to both sides
4x=92
then divide 92 by 4
Then you get x=23

Answer:
- 160 ft (out from the river)
- 320 ft (parallel to the river)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the dimension of perpendicular to the river will be half the remaining fence: (640-x)/2. The total area will be ...
A = x(640-x)/2
This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at x=0 and x=640, so its axis of symmetry is x = (0+640)/2 = 320. That is, the peak of the area curve is found when x=320.
The dimensions of the garden with the largest area are 160 ft wide by 320 ft long, where the long side is the river side.
