So first of all you need to plug in the x=8 into both equations which will make the first equation be equals to 44 than plug in the x into the second equation and you will get 4 over -1 so in my opinion it should be b=44

A developer wants to enclose a rectangular grassy lot that borders a city street for parking. If the developer has 220 feet of f

Answer:

6050 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the diagram attached, the area which the available fencing can enclose will measure X x Y feet. As the total length of fencing available is 220 feet, the fenced perimeter must equal 220 feet

$Y + 2X = 220$

$Y = 220 - 2X$

Area of a rectangle is determined by multiplying the length of perpendicular sides:

$Area = X*Y$

$Area = X(220 - 2X)$

$Area = 220X - 2X^{2}$

The derivative of an equation determines the slope at any given point of that equation. At the maximum or minimum point of the equation, the slope will be zero. Therefore, differentiating the equation for area and equating it to zero will give the value of X where the area is maximum.

A simple variable can be differentiated using below concept:

$f(a) = a^{b}$
