- In the following exercises, solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth. 285. A rancher is going to fence three sides of a corral next to a river. He needs to maximize the corral area using 240 feet of fencing. The quadratic equation A(x)=x(2402x) gives the area of the corral, A, for the length, x, of the corral along the river. Find the length of the corral along the river that will give the maximum area, and then find the maximum area of the corral.arrow_forwardIn the following exercises, solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth. 284. A cell phone company estimates that by charging x dollars each for a certain cell phone, they can sell 8x cell phones per day. Use the quadratic function R(x)=x2+8x to find the revenue received when the selling price of a cell phone is x. Find the selling price that will give them the maximum revenue, and then find the amount of the maximum revenue.arrow_forwardIn the following exercises, solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth. 208. A veterinarian is enclosing a rectangular outdoor running area against his building for the dogshe cares for. He needs to maximize the area using 100 feet of fencing. The quadratic equation A=x(1002x) gives the area, A, of the dog run for the length, x, of the building that will border the dog run. Find the length of the building that should border the dog run to give the maximum area, and then find the maximum area of the dog run.arrow_forward
