A=w*h
p=2w+2h

if w=x, then h=7-x.
a(x) = x*(7-x)
a(x) = 7x - x^2

to find the largest area we need to derivative a(x):
a'(x) = 7 - 2x = 0 --> x = 3.5

therefore:
maxArea = a(3.5) = 3.5 * 3.5 = 12.25

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x} }\\f'(x)=-\frac{1}{2} x^{-\frac{3}{2}}\\\\f'(4)=-\frac{1}{2} 4^{-\frac{3}{2} }=-\frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{4^\frac{3}{2} } \\=-\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{8}=-\frac{1}{16}  \\when x=4\\y=f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4} } =\frac{1}{2} \\\\eq.~ of ~tangent ~line~is\\y=-\frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{16} (x-4)
