A campground owner has 24002400 m of fencing. he wants to enclose a rectangular field bordering a​ river, with no fencing along the river.​ (see the​ sketch.) let x represent the width of the field. ​(a) write an expression for the length of the field as a function of x.

Respuesta :

We define variables:
 x = represent the width of the field
 y = represent the length of the field
 We write the perimeter (with no fencing along the river):
 2400 = 2x + y
 We clear y:
 y = 2400-2x
 Answer:
 
an expression for the length of the field as a function of x is:
 
y = 2400-2x
