A rectangular field is to be enclosed by 760 feet of fence. One side of the field is a building, so fencing is not required on that side. Fenced Area Building If x denotes the length of one side of the rectangle perpendicular to the building, determine the function in the variable x giving the area (in square feet) of the fenced-in region. Area, as a function of $x = oxed{}$ Determine the domain of the area function. Enter your answer using interval notation. Domain of area function = $oxed{}$

Step 1
Since one side of the field is a building, we only need to fence the other three sides. The perimeter of the field is given as 760 feet, so we can write the equation: 2L + W = 760 Show more…

You have 600 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular field. However, one side of the field lies along a canal and requires no fencing. Express the area of the field, A, as a function of one of its dimensions, x.
