Repeat this problem.. If the horse breeder has only 140 feet of fencing available for the corral. Does the maximum value of the area function still occur at the vertex?

The fence length parts are 50 + x + x and the area of the fenced region is 50x.

Amount of fence material:

The breeder wants to use all of the fence material and using all of it will give the greatest area. This means 50 yards-worth opposite side from the barn and sitting 100 yards from the barn.
