A farmer has 100 m of fencing to build a rectangular pasture along a straight riverbank, so no fencing is needed along the side bordering the river. If xx meters denotes the length of each side perpendicular to the river, which of the following expresses the area A(x)A(x) of the pasture solely in terms of xx? a) A(x)=2x(100−x)A(x)=2x(100-x) b) A(x)=x(100−x)A(x)=x(100-x) c) A(x)=x(100−2x)A(x)=x(100-2x) d) A(x)=50x−x2A(x)=50x - x^{2}
