A fence is to be built to enclose a rectangular area of 290 square feet.
\n" ); document.write( " The fence along three sides is to be made of material that costs 3 dollars per foot,
\n" ); document.write( " and the material for the fourth side costs 15 dollars per foot.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the length and width (with ) of the enclosure that is most economical to construct.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Area: L * W = 290
\n" ); document.write( "W = \"290%2FL\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Cost:
\n" ); document.write( "C = 15L + 3L + 3(2W)
\n" ); document.write( "C = 18L + 6W
\n" ); document.write( "Replace W with \"290%2FL\"
\n" ); document.write( "C = 18L + 6(\"290%2FL\")
\n" ); document.write( "C = 18L + \"1740%2FL\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Plot this equation, cost on the vertical, Length on the horizontal
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+16%2C+-100%2C+1000%2C+18x%2B%281740%2Fx%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Minimum cost occurs when Length = 10 ft, then \"290%2F10\" = 29 ft is the width
