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:

x⁵+ 45x⁴+ 810x³+ 7290x²+ 32805x +59049

Step-by-step explanation:

Greetings !

Given expression

(x + 9) {}^{5}

write 5 as a sum

(x + 9) {}^{3 + 2}

use \: a {}^{m + n}  = a {}^{m}  \times a {}^{n} to \: expand \: the \: expression.

(x + 9) {}^{3}  \times (x + 9) {}^{2}

Use (a+b)³=a³+3a²b+b³ to expand the expression

(x {}^{3}  + 27x {}^{2}  + 243x + 729) \times (x + 9) {}^{2}

Use (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b² to the second expression to expand it

(x {}^{3}  + 27x {}^{2}  + 243x + 729) \times(x {}^{2}  + 18x + 81)

Finally, simplify the expression gives

x {}^{5}  + 45x {}^{4}  + 810x {}^{3}  + 7290x {}^{2}  + 32805x + 59049

Hope it helps!
