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: y^4 + \frac{-73}{35}y^2- 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use FOIL:

y^4 + \frac{-14}{5}y^2 + \frac{5}{7}y^2 + \frac{-70}{35}

Make  \frac{-14}{5}y^2 and \frac{5}{7}y^2 have the same numerator:

\frac{-14*7}{5*7}y^2 =\frac{-98}{35}y^2

\frac{5*5}{7*5} y^2=\frac{25}{35} y^2

Then add like terms and simplify:

y^4 + \frac{-98}{35}y^2 + \frac{25}{35} y^2 + \frac{-70}{35}

y^4 + \frac{-73}{35}y^2- 2
