Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
A polynominal function that describes an enclosure is v(x)=1500x-x2 where x is the length of the fence in feet what is the maximum area of the enclosure
Solution:
The maximum area of the enclosure is gotten when the differential with respect to x of the enclosure function is equal to zero. That is:
V'(x) = 0
V(x) = x(1500 - x) = length * breadth.
This means the enclosure has a length of x and a width of 1500 - x
Given that:
v(x)=1500x-x². Hence:
V'(x) = 1500 -2x
V'(x) = 0
1500 -2x = 0
2x = 1500
x = 1500 / 2
x = 750 feet
The maximum area = 1500(750) - 750² = 562500
The maximum area = 562500 feet²
