Use calculus to set up and solve the word problem: A dairy farmer plans to enclose a rectangular pasture adjacent to a river. To provide enough grass for the herd, the pasture must contain 200 square meters of grass. No fencing is required along the river (cows do not swim well). What dimensions will use the smallest amount of fencing?

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74

choice b

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 88x^2 -264x + 300

the line of symmetry of a parabola is defined by

h = -b/2a

where ax^2 +bx+c=0

so

h = - -264/ (2*88)

h = 3/2

so x = 1.5
