 <span>This one is hard to explain in print. Let x be the side of the rectangle on the hypotenuse and y be the other side. There is a triangle formed at the right angle of the original which is similar to the original. 
So x is to 10 as z is to 8: x/10 = z/8 
and z = 4/5 x 
The upper part of that leg would be 8 - 4/5 x 

The triangle at the top is also similar: 
So y is to 6 as (8 - 4/5 x) is to 10: y/6 = (8-4/5 x)/10 
and y = 3/5 (8- 4/5 x) = 24/5 - 12/25 x 

Now area = xy 
Deriv = 0 and solve </span>

Answer:

  -13/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Straightforward evaluation of the expression at x=1 gives (1 -1)/(1 -1) = 0/0, an indeterminate form. So, L'Hopital's rule applies. The ratio of derivatives is ...

  \displaystyle\lim_{x\to 1}\dfrac{n}{d}=\dfrac{n'}{d'}=\left.\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3\sqrt[3]{4x-3}}-\dfrac{7}{2\sqrt{7x-6}}}{\dfrac{5}{2\sqrt{5x-4}}-\dfrac{2}{3\sqrt[3]{2x-1}}}\right|_{x=1}=\dfrac{4/3-7/2}{5/2-2/3}=\dfrac{8-21}{15-4}\\\\=\boxed{-\dfrac{13}{11}}
