Question
A farmer wishes to build a divided pasture adjacent to the river, as shown in the diagram.
Express the total area of the pasture as a function of x if 1000 feet of fencing is available for construction.

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a scenario involving a river and three sets of animals. The top part of the image shows the surface of a river with the word "River" in bold, yellow text.
Below the river, there are three groups of animals, each enclosed in their own separate box:
1. **First Box**: Contains two lambs.
2. **Second Box**: Contains two chickens.
3. **Third Box**: Contains two pigs.
Between the first and second boxes, there is a multiplication symbol ("x"), indicating a relationship or arrangement involving these animal groups across the river. The graphical setup might represent a classic problem-solving scenario or illustrate a concept involving grouping or combinations in an educational context.

Transcribed Image Text:The image displays a multiple-choice question with four options for the function \( A(x) \).
1. \( A(x) = -2x^2 + 1000x \)
2. \( A(x) = 4x^2 - 2000x \) (highlighted as the selected option)
3. \( A(x) = -4x^2 + 1000x \)
4. \( A(x) = -16x^2 + 4000x \)
Each option represents a quadratic function of \( x \). The highlighted option indicates a selection, possibly the answer being considered or the correct answer for the given context.
