A farmer has 1,200 feet of fencing and wants to fence off a rectangular field that borders a straight river. He needs no fence along the river. Write the function that will produce the largest area if x is the short side of the rectangle.

Options:

  1.  f(x) = 1200x - x2
  2.  f(x) = -2x2 + 1200x
  3.  f(x) = x2 - 1200
  4.  f(x) = 2x2 - 1200
