Suppose you have 48 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular dog pen. The function
A = 24x-x2, where x = width, gives you the area of the dog pen in square feet. What width gives you the maximum area? What is the maximum area?

Respuesta :

we are given

[tex]A=24x-x^2[/tex]

where

A is area of rectangle

x is width of rectangle

Since, we have to maximize area

so, we will find derivative

[tex]A'=24\times 1-2x[/tex]

[tex]A'=24-2x[/tex]

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

[tex]A'=24-2x=0[/tex]

[tex]24-2x=0[/tex]

[tex]x=12[/tex]

The width which gives you the maximum area is 12 feet........Answer

now, we can plug x=12 to find area

[tex]A=24(12)-(12)^2[/tex]

[tex]A=288-144[/tex]

[tex]A=144ft^2[/tex]

So, the maximum area is

[tex]A=144ft^2[/tex]............Answer
