a. Suppose you have 40 m of fencing with which tomake a rectangular pen for a dog. If one side ofthe rectangle is x m long, explain why the otherside is (20 x) m long.b. Express the area of the pen in terms of x.c. Find the area of the pen for each value of x: 0, 2,4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20. Record your answerson a set of axes like the one shown.d. Give the dimensions of the pen with the greatestarea.
Solution
The first step in solving 11 problem number 50 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: a. Suppose you have 40 m of fencing with which tomake a rectangular pen for a dog. If one side ofthe rectangle is x m long, explain why the otherside is (20 x) m long.b. Express the area of the pen in terms of x.c. Find the area of the pen for each value of x: 0, 2,4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20. Record your answerson a set of axes like the one shown.d. Give the dimensions of the pen with the greatestarea.
