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

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

I have a weird way of doing it

so if 18 is 25%

18+18=36

then 36 would be 50%

36+36=72

so then 72 would be 100%

72*.25=18

2a. Determine the equation of the line connecting the points (0, -1) and (2, 3) *
Sauron [17]
First create the equation y=Mx+ B

B is the y intercept so when y = 0, B = -1.

Now we have y=Mx - 1

The slope is M. We can calculate this by using the formula M = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)

Use the points (0, -1) and (2,3) for these values. So y2 = 3, y1 = -1, x2 = 2, x1 = 0

Plug them into the equation and solve

M = (3 + 1) / (2 - 0)
M = 4/2 = 2

Now we have the equation y = 2x - 1

Next to figure out if the points given are on the line you take the values and plug them into your equation like so: 4 = 2(-2) - 1

2(-2) - 1 does not equal 4 so this point does not fall on this line. Follow this same procedure for the next point given.
