A billboard designer has decided that a sign should have 4-ft margins at the top and bottom and 1-ft margins on the left and rig

ht sides. Furthermore, the billboard should have a total area of 3600 ft2 (including the margins).
If x denotes the left-right width (in feet) of the billboard, determine the value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard.

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard is 9.655 ft.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given x is the left-right width of the billboard and y is the height of the billboard. Therefore,

The total area of the billboard, A= x·y

The total printed area of the billboard, A_p=(x-2)(y-8)

Given in problem that the area of the billboard is 3600 ft².

x·y = 3600

y = (3600)/x

Substituting the value of y in the equation of the total printed area of the billboard,

A_p = (x-2)(\dfrac{3600}{x}-8)\\\\A_p = 3600 -8x -\dfrac{7200}{x} + 16\\\\A_p =3616-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x}

Now, the value of x is needed to be minimum, therefore, differentiating the given function,

\dfrac{d}{dx}A_p =\dfrac{d}{dx}3616-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x}\\\\\dfrac{d}{dx}A_p =-8 - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}

Equate the differentiated function with 0,

0=-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}\\\\8x = - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}\\\\x^3 = 900\\\\x = 9.655 ft.

Hence, the value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard is 9.655 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

400 people has a "yes" answer for the first question and 220 people has a "yes" answer for the second question

There is a possibility that 220 out of the 400 people that has a "yes" answer for the first question also has a "yes" for the second question

Therefore, the minimum number of people that has two "yes" answer (K) is 220
