Am i right? Medal if im right! most likely i am!

A student needs to make a square cardboard piece. The cardboard should have a perimeter equal to at least 92 inches. The function f(s) relates the perimeter of a cardboard piece, in inches, to the length of its side in inches. Which of the following shows a reasonable domain for f(s)? 23 < s < 46 23 < s < 92*** s ≥ 92 s ≥ 23

@SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You said the f(s) and where is it? is it this 23<s<46 ?

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

so that means it is A not B?

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

@SolomonZelman ???

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I didn';t get th question, I am just asking where is the f(s) ?

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

they compared the side of it to the perimeter...so that means F(s) = 96?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

it can be anything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the domain for f(s) is all values of s greater than or equal to 92, s>=92, as this is a requirement of the problem.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

it can be 2(x+y)≤96 so (x+y)≤48 but it can be anything see?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am using x +y as width plus length which is all times 2 and supposed to equal at least 98. in other words, - "2 unknown variables in 1 equation"

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yeah, @phi can help you, I am sure, I'm not good at this staff.

OpenStudy (phi):

*** The function f(s) relates the perimeter of a cardboard piece, in inches, to the length of its side in inches. *** this is ambiguous to me. It might mean side= f(perimeter) or perimeter= f( side) If "s" is short for side, then it would be perimeter= f(side) the domain would be all "legal"s sides... any side 23 or bigger. But there is a chance they want it the other way round.

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

so its the last one?

OpenStudy (phi):

That would be my guess.

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

k thx :D
