rectangular region of lenght x and width y has an area of 520 square meters. write the width y as a function of x
y=520/x
is that correct?
yes it was correct! thank you
To find the width of the rectangular region (y) as a function of its length (x), we need to use the formula for the area of a rectangle.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by:
Area = Length × Width
In this case, we know that the area is 520 square meters, so we can write the equation:
520 = x × y
Now, let's isolate the width (y) on one side of the equation:
y = 520 / x
Therefore, the width y can be written as a function of the length x:
y(x) = 520 / x
