Question

A farmer will be adding a rectangular corral to his barn. He has 600 feet of fencing. The part of the barn that is attached to the corral is 150 feet long.

Write a function for the area of the corral, A(x) and include the domain
Find the answers for both 'x' and 's'

Answer 1

dunno what "s" is.

So, is one side of the corral (along the barn) 150' long?

If so, then if the other dimension is x, the A(x) = 150x

Since 150+2x = 600,
x = 225

As described above, the problem is trivial, so please clarify.
