Graphing Quadratic Equations in Two Variables · Exercise 46
Solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth.
A veterinarian is enclosing a rectangular outdoor running area against his building for the dogs he cares for. He needs to maximize the area using 100 feet of fencing. The quadratic equation gives the area, , of the dog run for the length, , 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.
