Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a problem involving a goat rancher who needs to determine the maximum area of a rectangular pen that can be fenced with 1200 feet of fencing. The original poster also presents a second problem related to identifying characteristics of a set of points.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the need to formulate equations for both the area and perimeter of the rectangular pen. There are inquiries about the nature of the second problem, specifically whether the given points represent a line, function, or have a discernible slope or pattern.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered guidance on how to approach the first problem by suggesting the use of perimeter and area equations. The discussion on the second problem is ongoing, with participants clarifying the definitions of domain and range in relation to the provided points.

Contextual Notes

The original poster has indicated a deadline for the homework, which adds urgency to the discussion. There is also a mention of an image that has not been approved, which may limit the context available for problem #25.

PROBLEM #24- A goat rancher is going to fence off a rectangular pen in the middle of a large open area. Build an equation to help determine the maximum area (to the nearest sq ft) that can be fenced off if 1200 ft of fencing is avilable. Include a diagram as a part of your solution.)

I have attached the two problems I need help with in picture format for number 24 and 25. I need to write an equation for 24 which I am having trouble with even though I know the answer is 90,000 sq ft
@ 300ft x 300ft.

On #25 I am not sure if this is a line, function, or if it even has a slope or pattern. How do I answer the questions beneath? Thanks.

Someone please help here this is due tomorrow morning- thanks.
 
Ah, that is bad luck. They still haven't approved the image.

Ok so for #24 you need to build an equation to help find the maximum area. It says that perimeter is 1200ft. What kind of equations can you think of that would be helpful? How about the equation for perimeter and area? If you find those two equations you are finished.
 
For problem 25 you say you are "not sure if this is a line, function, or if it even has a slope or pattern". It is precisely the points shown: (-2, 5), (-1, 3), (1, 0), (3, -3), and (4, -5).

The "domain" is the set of all "x" values- all first numbers in the pairs.
The "range" is the set of all "y" values- all second numbers in the pairs.
