You have $6000 with which to build a rectangular enclosure with fencing. The fencing material costs $30 per meter. You also want

to have two partitions across the width of the enclosure, so that there will be three separated spaces in the enclosure. The material for the partitions costs $25 per meter. What is the maximum area you can achieve for the enclosure? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Refer to the figure shown below.
x =  the width of the rectangle (meters)
y = the height of the rectangle (meters(

The fencing for the perimeter of the rectangle costs  $30 per meter.
The two inner partitions cost $25 per meter.

The total cost of the fencing is
C = 2(x+y)*$30 + 2y*$25
   = 60(x+y) + 50y 
   = 60x + 110y

Because the amount available to spend is $600, therefore
60x + 110y = 6000
or
6x + 11y = 600
That is,
y = (600 - 6x)/11              (1)

The area is
A = x*y                           (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
A = (x/11)*(600 - 6x) = (1/11)*(600x - 6x²)

To maximize A, the derivative of A with respect to x is zero.
That is,
600 - 12x = 0
x = 600/12 = 50
From (1), obtain
y = (1/11)*(600 - 6*50) = 300/11 = 27.273

Because the second derivative of A with respect to x is negative, x=50, y = 27.273 will yield the maximum area.

The maximum area is
50*27.273 = 1363.64 m² = 1364 m² (nearest integer)

Answer: 1364 m² (nearest integer)

What are the similarities and differences that exist between all continuous linear and continuous exponential functions?
max2010maxim [7]
You can recognize exponential and linear functions by their graph. Linear functions are straight lines while exponential functions are curved lines. You can also recognize them by the change in y. If the same number is being added to y, then the function has a constant change and is linear

These angles are adjacent which means they share a side and a vertex. Adjacent angles are also supplementary so the measure of the two angles add up to 180 degrees. Since angle 1 is 137 degrees, angle two is 43 degrees. I hope this explanation helps you.
