Using Lagrange multipliers, we have the Lagrangian
with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)
Substituting the first three equations into the fourth allows us to solve for
:
For each possible value of
, we get two corresponding critical points at
.
At these points, respectively, we get a maximum value of
and a minimum value of
.

Answer:
It will take at least 15 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
12w+31 ≥ 205
Subtract 31 from each side
12w+31-31 ≥ 205-31
12w ≥ 174
Divide each side by 12
12w/12 ≥ 174/12
w ≥ 14.5
Rounding up to the nearest integer
w ≥ 15
It will take at least 15 weeks
If it's a square then sides equal to around 12-13 meters
