Solve this question using derivatives please. A farmer has 750 m of fencing. The farmer wants to enclose a rectangular area on all four sides, and then divide it into four pens of equal size with the fencing parallel to one side of the rectangle. What is the largest possible area of each of the four pens?

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of one pen will be largest when the area of a ractangle is the largest.

x - one side of rectangular area      (x>0)

y - second side of rectangular area   (y>0)

The farmer has 750 m of fencing, so if we subtract the sides x and fencing used for dividing into pens we receive:

y = 750 - 5x          (750-5x>0  ⇒  x<150)

Area of the rectangle:  A = x•y

A(x) = x•(750 - 5x)             D=(0, 150)

A(x) = -5x² + 750x            

A'(x) = -5•2x + 750•1 = -10x + 750 = -10(x - 75)

if x=75 then A'(x) = 0

so x = 75 is critical point

First Derivative Test:

A'(x) > 0  ⇔ -10(x-75)>0 ⇔  x-75<0  ⇔ x<75

A'(x) < 0  ⇔ -10(x-75)<0 ⇔  x-75>0  ⇔ x>75

A′(x)>0 to the left of x=75 and A′(x)>0 to the right of x=75 then x=75 is a maximum. {rational but also global in the interval (0,150)}

A(75) = 75•(750 - 5•75) = 75•375 = 28125 m²

So the largest possible area of each of the four pens is:  

8125 : 4 = 7031.25 m²

answer

false

explanation

these practices describe the manner the land use outcome is attained. land management methods implemented by corporations are a mandatory because they are a driver for better land use results economically, socially and environmentally. corporations are required to understand the connection between land use , and land management practices to support sustainable land use policies

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.
