ss7ja [257]

Let width of the rectangular plot be x meters

then total of widths = 2x
and the length would be (550 - 2x) meters.

so the area = x(550 - 2x) = 550x - 2x^2

to find the maximum are find the derivative and equate to zero:-

f'(x) = 550 - 4x = 0
x = 550/4 = 137.5 meters = width

length = 550 - 2(137.5) = 275

Maximum area is when width = 137.5m and length = 275m

Factor the equation:
$x^{2} -5x-24 = (x+3)(x-8)$

set each part of the factorized equation to zero and solve for x the results are your zeros:
