Algebra.Com's Answer #79231 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! using the first point, a=L*W ... 10=10*W ... W=1\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L+W=11 ... W=11-L ... a=L(11-L) ... a=11L-L^2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is a continuous function that describes the area of a rectangle with a fixed perimeter \n" ); document.write( "... you can connect the points because each point on the graph represents some combination of L and W that gives a different area\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L and W can have any positive values as long as they add to 11 ... the perimeter is 22 \n" ); document.write( " |
