The equation that describes the which gives the area of the pen, A, as a function of x, the length of fence parallel to the barn is A = 130x - x²
<h3>How to find area of a rectangle?</h3>
The pen is rectangular. Therefore,
area of a rectangle = lw
where
Therefore,
perimeter = 2w + l
perimeter = 2w + x
130 = 2w + x
130 - x = 2w
w = 65 - 1/ 2 x
A = xw
A = x(65 - 1/ 2 x)
A = 65x - 1 / 2 x²
Therefore, the function that represents A, the area of the pen is as follows:
A = 130x - x²

To answer this question, you can use a factor tree, or the table thing (I forgot what it’s called.)
You divide the number by one of its PRIME factors, until there is only one left. The numbers you divided it by are written as shown.
Hope this helps. :)
