Question 40752: I got part a and b of this question , need help with d & C
(of course a word problem) A farmer wishes to enclose a rectangular region bordering a river with fencing, as shown in the diagram. Suppose that x represents the length of each of the three parallel pieces of fencin. She has 600 ft of fencing available.
( the diagram is a rectangle, the top part is water and the rest is fencing, there is a vertical dotted line down the center, it and both the left and right side are labeled x the bottom is just fencing)
a) What is the length of the remaining piece of fencing in terms of x?
---My answer, 600-3x
b) Determine a function(A) that represents the total area of the enclosed region give any restrictions for x.
Since Length and Width cannot be negative i put 600-3x is greater than or equal to zero and solved that, 200 is greater than or equal to x, and x is greater than or equal to x so my solution is
0is less than or equal to x is less than or equal to 200.
NOW FOR THE ONES IM LOST ON>>>>>
c) What dimensions for the total enclosed region would give an area of 22,500 sqaure feet?
and
d) What is the maximum area that can be enclosed?
