Jenny has 280 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). find a function that gives the area a(x) of the field in terms of x

a(x) = x*y = x*(280 - 2x) square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, a plot of the problem is shown. Let's call y the length of the side that parallels the river

The perimeter that the fence cover is:

2x + y =  280 meters

Isolating y:

y =  280 meters - 2x

The area of the field is:

a(x) = x*y = x*(280 - 2x) square meters

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !

75
