Answer:

1250 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y denote the sides of the rectangular research plot.

Thus, area is;

A = xy

Now, we are told that end of the plot already has an erected wall. This means we are left with 3 sides to work with.

Thus, if y is the erected wall, and we are using 100m wire for the remaining sides, it means;

2x + y = 100

Thus, y = 100 - 2x

Since A = xy

We have; A = x(100 - 2x)

A = 100x - 2x²

At maximum area, dA/dx = 0.thus;

dA/dx = 100 - 4x

-4x + 100 = 0

4x = 100

x = 100/4

x = 25

Let's confirm if it is maximum from d²A/dx²

d²A/dx² = -4. This is less than 0 and thus it's maximum.

Let's plug in 25 for x in the area equation;

A_max = 25(100 - 2(25))

A_max = 1250 m²

Evaluate f (2) if f (x)= 10-x^3
weeeeeb [17]
<span> f (x)= 10-x³. 
f(2) means the value of the function when x=2.
So, we need to substitute 2 instead of x.

f(2) = 10 - 2³ = 10-8 =2

f(2) = 2
