The largest possible area for a given amount of material enclosing a rectangle will always be a perfect square with each side being one quarter of the amount of material.

The proof is:

M=2x+2y, solve for y

y=(M-2x)/2

A=xy, and using y from above...

A=(Mx-2x^2)/2

dA/dx=(M-4x)/2

d2A/dx2=-2

Since acceleration is always negative, when velocity is zero, it will be at an absolute maximum for A(x)

dA/dx=0 when M-4x=0, 4x=M, x=M/4

So the maximum area occurs when x=M/4, and from earlier:

y=(M-2x)/2  then use x=M/4 in this and get:

y=(M-M/2)/2

y=(2M-M)/4=M/4  so x=y=M/4, a perfect square.

So for your particular example...

M=2x+2y and M=100

100=2x+2y

50=x+y

y=50-x

Now:

A=xy, using y found above...

A=50x-x^2

dA/dx=50-2x

d2A/dx2=-2  so an absolute maximum occurs when dA/dx=0

dA/dx=0 when 50-2x=0, 2x=50, x=25...

and from earlier, y=50-x, using x from above y=50-25=25

so y=x=25

So the maximum area with 100 feet of fencing is 25^2=625ft^2

I believe that 25*25=625 and that is the biggest area

Answer:

46euros

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula- I=P*R/100*T

P=principal amount    R=rate    T=time

Compute the values given in the question to this formula

So, it would be-

I= 500*0.023*4

I= 46euros

And that's all!

Komok [63]

Answer:

59.04g of fat

Step-by-step explanation:

I) Figure out how much grams of fat is in 1g of margarine:

3.6 ÷ 5 = 0.72

II) Next, we can figure out how much fat is in 82 g of margarine:

0.72 × 82 = 59.04

One shot formula:

(3.6g ÷ 5g) × 82g = 59.04g
