1000=L +2w
L = 1000-2w
or if x=width
then
A= -2x^2 +1000x
and subtract the area of the non farmable land of 5000 m^2
A=-2x^2 +1000x -5000=xy
y = -2x+1000-5000/x
Area = A =Lw = (1000-2w)w= 1000w -2w^2
A'(w) = 1000-4w = 0
4w = 1000
w =x= 1000/4 =250 meters wide
L =y= 1000-2x= 1000-2(250) = 1000-500 = 500 meters Long
are the dimensions to maximize area given 1000 meters of fencings
max Area of farmable land = Lw -5000=yx-5000= (500)(250)-5000 = 125,000 m^2-5000 m^2
= 120,000 m^2
the graph of A is a downward opening parabola with vertex = maximum = (250, 120,000)
the turning point is the vertex where A'=0
A=-2x^2 +1000x -5000
=-2(x^2 -500x) -5000
= -2(x^2 -500x +250^2) -5000+2(250^2)
=-2(x-250)^2 -5000+2(62,500)
=-2(x-250)^2 -5,000+125,000
=-2(x-250)^2 +120,000
=a(x-h)^2 +k
where (h,k) = the vertex = (250,120000)
and a=-2
