Martina has 240 meters of fencing and wishes to form three sides of a rectangular field. The fourth side borders a river and will not need fencing.
As shown below, one of the sides has length x (in meters).


x
Side along river

(a) Find a function that gives the area Ax of the field (in square meters) in terms of x.
=Ax
(b) What side length x gives the maximum area that the field can have?
Side lengthx:meters
(c) What is the maximum area that the field can have?
Maximum area:square meters

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answering a comes from simplification, and answering b and c are done all in one step: completing the square on the quadratic that results from a.

(a)  If Martina has 240 m of fencing and is only utilizing one side for the length and 2 sides for the width, the perimeter formula is

240 = x + 2w where x is a length and w is the width. Solving this for w in terms of x:

240 - x = 2w so

[tex]w=120-.5x[/tex] The area for a rectangle is L * W, so our area using the lengths we have is

A(x) = x(120 - .5x) and we simplify:

A(x) = 120x - .5x²  That's the answer to a.

Now for b and c, we will complete the square on this to get the vertex.

Begin by factoring out the -.5:

[tex]A(x)=-.5(x^2-240x)[/tex] Now we take half the linear term, square it and add it both inside the parenthesis and outside the parenthesis. Our linear term is 240. Half of 240 is 120, and 120 squared is 14400:

[tex]A(x)=-.5(x^2-240x+14400)+7200[/tex] (The 7200 comes from multiplying the 14400 times the -.5; -.5 times 14400 is -7200 so to balance things out, we have to add 7200).

The perfect square binomial that results from this is

A(x) = -.5(x - 120)² + 7200. From this we determine that our vertex is

(120, 7200). The 120 is the value of x, the length we are asked to find in b; the 7200 is the max area we are asked to find in c.

Answer 2

The required solutions are,,
(a) area = 240x - 2x²
(b) the side adjacent to the rivers gives the maximum length of the field.
(c) the maximum area could be 6400-meter square.

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
length of the field is x,
The perimeter of the field, = 240
x + x + width = 240
width = 240 - 2x
now,
(a)
area of the field,
= length * width,

= x(240-2x)
= 240x - 2x²

Similarly,
(b) the side adjacent to the rivers gives the maximum area of the field.
(c) the maximum area could be 6400-meter square.

Thus, the required solutions are mentioned above.

If f(x) = 4x + 3 and g(x) = 22 – 3, then f(g(4)) = ???

Answers

g(4) = 19
f(19) = 79

So f(g(4)) = 79

Answer:

f(g(4))=79

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

f(x) = 4x + 3

g(x) = 22 – 3

g(x) = 19

the x in parentheses represents x's value. if it is just x then example f(x)=3x would be 3x. if f(x) was f(2)=3x, then x would be 2 and f(2)=3x would be 3*2=6

f(g(4))

first solve g(4)

g(x) = 19

g(4)=19     because there are no x

then substitute

f(g(4))

f(19)

f(19) = 4x + 3

all x become 19

f(19) = 4(19) + 3

       =76+3

        =79

Step-by-step explanation:

The co-ordinates of the center=(3,2)

The formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)^2+ (y – k)^2 = r^2,

(h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle.

Therefore, (x – h)^2+ (y – k)^2 = r^2

                 =(x – 3)^2+ (y – 2)^2 = r^2

Colony Argumentative essay on city life is better than village life Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and attitudes. In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains nearly all of each individuals life. The rewards of the groups work are shared with each member. There is an interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued. While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation. In the third type called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.Which of the following is an example of the third form of cooperation as it is defined in the fourth paragraph?
