Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the fence = x

Let the width of the fence = y

 Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by 2(L+B) , but the farmer is using the side of the barn on one side of the rectangle , so the perimeter equation is  

x + 2y = 48

 Area = xy

 If we substitute the perimeter equation so that the area is only in terms of y.

 

Area = (48 - 2y)y

Area = 48y - 2y^{2}

 Now just find the vertex of the parabola

 Area = -2 y^{2}+ 48y

A = -2 y^{2} + 48

Differentiate A with respect to y

\frac{dA}{dy} = -4y + 48

equate it to zero , we have

-4y + 48 = 0

4y = 48

y = 12

Substitute y = 12 into equation 1, we have

x = 48 - 2y

x = 48 - 2(12)

x = 48 - 24

x = 24

Therefore the dimensions of the garden are 24 by 12

The maximum area is 288 square unit

Answer:

Area = l x w

Area = (x + 1)(x + 7)

Area = x² + 7x + x + 7

Area = x² + 8x + 7
