Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the owner of a motel has 2900 m of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular plot of land that borders a straight highway.
Fencing is used for 2times length and 1 width if highway side is taken as width
So we have 2l+w = 2900
Or w = 2900-2l
Area of the rectangular region = lw
Use derivative test to find the maximum
So maximum when I derivative =0
i.e when
Largest area = A(725)
=
1051250 sqm is area maximum

Start by subtracting 3 from both sides to get .
Now multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/2, which is 2/3.
On the left, we have x, and on the right, -3(2/3) is -2.
So we have x = -2.
