Question 623558
we want to enclose a small rectangular vegetable garden with 50 feet of fence. let x represent width. how can we represent length. what is the quadratic function that represents the area of the garden?
..
let x=width
let y=length
2x+2y=50 (perimeter)
x+y=25
y=25-x (length)
Area=length*width
Area=x(25-x)=25x-x^2 ( quadratic function that represents the area of the garden)
