A rectangular schoolyard is to be fenced in using the wall of the school for one side and 500 meters of fencing for the other three sides. The area in square meters of the schoolyard is a function of the length in meters of each of the sides perpendicular to the school wall. A. Write an expression for A(x) using NO SPACES.

B. What is the area of the schoolyard when x = 100 ?

C. What is a reasonable domain for x in this context?

StPart 1) The expression is  

Part 2) The area of the schoolyard when x=40 m is A=2,800 m^2

Part 3) The domain is all real numbers greater than zero and less than 75 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Write an expression for A(x)

Let

x > the length of the rectangular schoolyard

y ---> the width of the rectangular schoolyard

we know that

The perimeter of the fencing (using the wall of the school for one side) is

so

> equation A

The area of the rectangular schoolyard is

---> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

Convert to function notation

Part 2) What is the area of the schoolyard when x=40?

For x=40 m

substitute in the expression of Part 1) and solve for A

Part 3) What is a reasonable domain for A(x) in this context

we know that

A represent the area of the rectangular schoolyard

x represent the length of of the rectangular schoolyard

we have

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the length for the maximum area

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum area

The vertex is the point (37.5, 2812.5)

using a graphing tool, see the attached figure

therefore

The maximum area is 2,812.5 m^2

The x-intercepts are x=0 m and x=75 m

The domain for A is the interval > (0, 75)

All real numbers greater than zero and less than 75 meters

ep-by-step explanation:

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
