Answer:

Maximum area = 800 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

Rectangle is showing width = x ft and the side towards garage is not to be fenced.

Length of the fence has been given as 80 ft.

Therefore, length of the fence = Sum of all three sides of the rectangle to be fenced

80 = x + x + y

80 = 2x + y

y = (80 - 2x)

Now area of the rectangle A = xy

Or function that represents the area of the rectangle is,

A(x) = x(80 - 2x)

A(x) = 80x - 2x²

To find the maximum area we will take the derivative of the function with respect to x and equate it to zero.

A'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(80x-2x^{2})

             = 80 - 4x

A'(x) = 80 - 4x = 0

4x = 80

x = \frac{80}{4}

x = 20

Therefore, for x = 20 ft area of the rectangular patio will be maximum.

A(20) = 80×(20) - 2×(20)²

         = 1600 - 800

         = 800 square feet

Maximum area of the patio is 800 square feet.

Merlin wants to make more money selling fake beards this month than he did last month. All black beards in his shop cost the sam
sukhopar [10]

We know that all black beards cost the same money

And all red beards cost $25

And B represents number of black beards

And R represents number of red beards

We have been given the inequality 20B+25R > 350 to show the target for this month.

The above inequality shows that Merlin needs to make more than 350, hence he made 350 last month

Further, it shows that B has been multiplied by 20, hence the black beard's cost was 20
