Question 201303
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


For your first problem, just choose 5 different values for *[tex \Large x] then substitute them one at a time for *[tex \Large x] in the equation and calculate the value of *[tex \Large y] that results.


If you have 120 yards of fencing available, then the perimeter of your triangular area must be 120 yards.  One leg is *[tex \Large x] and the hypotenuse is 50, so the length of the other leg is *[tex \Large 120 - (x + 50) = 70 - x].  Since it is a right triangle, either leg qualifies as a base of the triangle and then the other leg is the height, so:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ A(x) = \frac{x(70 - x)}{2}]


All you have to do now is simplify it.
