Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
Can you show me the steps to get these answers for my practice?
![a. A rectangular pen is built with one side against a barn. If 2500 m of fencing are used for the other three sides of the pen, what dimensions maximize the area of the pen?
b. A rancher plans to make four identical and adjacent rectangular pens against a barn, each with an area of 25 m (see figure). What are the
Вam
dimensions of each pen that minimize the amount of fence that must be used?

a. Let A be the area of the rectangular pen and let x be the length of the sides perpendicular to the barn. Write the objective function in a form that does not include the length of the side
parallel to the barn.
A = 2500x – 2x2
(Type an expression.)
The interval of interest of the objective function is [0,1250] .
(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in interval notation. Do not use commas in the individual endpoints.)
To maximize the area of the pen, the sides perpendicular to the barn should be 625 m long and the side parallel to the barn should be 1250 m long.
(Type exact answers, using radicals as needed.)
b. Let x be the length of the sides perpendicular to the barn and let L be the total length of fence needed. Write the objective function.
100
L= 5x +
(Type an expression.)
The interval of interest of the objective function is (0, 00)
(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in interval notation. Do not use commas in the individual endpoints.)
