Question
1. After completing the fencing job from two weeks ago, the company sends you to construct some fencing near a river. Your client wants you to enclose a corral adjacent to a river as in the diagram below.a. Write an equation that represents the area of the enclosure.
(800=y*x, is this the right equation?)
b. If you solved for y, what would be the new equation?
( If I solve for y won’t I get 80?)
c. If L stands for the length of the fence, in yards, write an equation that represents the length of fencing that you need.
(I am lost)
d. If you substituted your equation from part b into your equation in part c, then L will result in a rational function. Express L as a rational function.
2. Which quadrant(s), when graphed, would not be appropriate to use for this problem? Justify your conclusion.
Explanation / Answer
We do not have the diagram to be able to reference it for this problem. However I will do what I can. (a) Based on a it would appear to be a rectangle? Try to fill in the gaps. If so, it is correct. (b) 800/x=y (c) If it has 4 sides it would be the length of all 4 sides added together. If it is a rectangle then sides parallel are of equal length. So it would be 2h+2w=length. If it is a square it is 4h. You need the perimeter. (d)Work from the correction in b and with the explanation of c to try this one. 2. Can't answer this without the chart.
