Question

Using the information from the previous question, find the equation in standard form for the area of the fenced-in section in terms of the length of the field.

(area = length • width)

Answer 1

y = x2 − 500x + 60,000

Explanation:

area of the fenced-in section = length • width

y = (x − 200)(x − 300)

= x² − 300x − 200x + 60,000

= x² − 500x + 60,000
