Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:

which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is

Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:

which gives:

or

We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,

Given that the metal strip is being installed around a bench that 6ft long 2ft wide. The metal required will be given by:
P=4(L+W)
=4(6+2)
=4(8)
=32 ft
Therefore we conclude that we need a metal strip that is 32ft long

Question 11a)
We are given side BC equals to side CE and angle CBA equals to angle CED
We also know that angle ACB equals to angle ECD are equal (opposite angles properties)
We have enough information to deduce that triangle ABC and triangle CDE are equal by postulate Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 11b)
We are given side AB equal to side ED, side BC equals to side EF, and side AC equals to side DF
We have enough information to deduce that triangle ABC and triangle DEF congruent by postulate Side-Side-Side (SSS)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 11c)
We are given side AC equals to side DF, angle ABC equals to angle DEF, and angle BAC equals to angle EDF
We have enough information to deduce that triangle ABC congruent to triangle DEF by postulate Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
