You have $9000 with which to build a rectangular enclosure with fencing. The fencing material costs $30 per meter. You also want to have two partitions across the width of the enclosure, so that there will be three separated spaces in the enclosure. The material for the partitions costs $25 per meter. What is the maximum area you can achieve for the enclosure

Answer:i explained it

Explanation:

The total cost of the fence will be 30(2L + 2W) + 2*25 W <= 9000

60L + 110W <= 9000

60 L <= 9000 - 110W

L <= 150 - 11/6 W

For a given width, the maximum area will correspond to the maximum length, so we can just go ahead and say L = 150 - 11/6 W

A = LW = (150 - 11/6 W) W

A = 150 W - 11/6 W2

A' = 150 - 11/3 W = 0

150 = 11/3 W

W = 450/11
