Answer:

The profit will be maximum on x = 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Revenue = 1500x - x²

Cost = 1500 + 1000x

As we know that

Profit = Revenue - Cost ; Let say it equation 1

Then after putting the values of revenue and cost in equation 1 we have:

Profit = (1500x - x²) - (1500 + 1000x)

Profit = 1500x - x² - 1500 - 1000x

Profit = -x² + 500x - 1500

We know that at the max or min the slope of the graph formed by the profit function will be zero, therefore we find the slope of profit function by taking the first derrivative w.r.t. x as under:

d(Profit)/dx = d/dx(-x² + 500x - 1500)

d(Profit)/dx = -2x + 500

By putting the above slope equal to zero we get:

d(Profit)/dx = -2x + 500 = 0

-2x + 500 = 0

-2x = -500

x = 250

Therefore it is concluded that the profit will be maximum when x will be equal to 250.

Answer:

Hence the dimensions are 5×5 i.e. 5 meters and 5 meters such that its field would be as large as possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Darek's dad has a 20 m fencing mesh.

Since we have to make a rectangular garden with he help of fencing the garden using this mesh, that means perimeter of this garden is 20 m.

i.e. 2( l+b)=20

also we have to fenced in such a way that its field would be as large as possible.

ie. it has the largest Area.

Now we will start from the dimensions possible as:

9×1 whose area will 9 m^2 (since Area=l×b)

Next dimension will be:

8×2 whose area will be 16 m^2

Next will be:

7×3 whose area will be 21 m^2

Next will be:

6×4 whose area will be 24 m^2

Next will be:

5×5 whose area will be 25 m^2

Next will be:

4×6 whose area will be same as of 6×4.

Hence, we get the maximum area to be 25 m^2 which is obtained when the dimensions are 5×5.
