Let x represent the length of the side of the pen that is parallel to the barn. Then the area (y) will be
.. y = x(300 -x)/2
This describes a downward opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=300. The vertex (maximum) will be found at the value of x that is halfway between those, x = 150.

For that value of x, the pen area is
.. y = 150(300 -150)/2 = 150^2/2 = 11,250 . . . . . square feet.

Factor the polynomial completely using the X method. x2 + 13x – 48 An x-method chart shows the product a c at the top of x and b
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant term of x^2 + 13x – 48 factors into either (3)(-16) or (-3)(16).

Note how 16 - 3 = 13, which is the coefficient of the middle term.  Thus, the factors are

(x + 16)(x - 3) which is equivalent to x^2 + 16x - 3x - 48, or x^2 + 13x - 48.
