Question

A polynominal function that describes an enclosure is v(x)=1500x_x2 where x is the length of the fence in feet what is the maximum area of the enclosure

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynominal function that describes an enclosure is v(x)=1500x-x2 where x is the length of the fence in feet what is the maximum area of the enclosure

Solution:

The maximum area of the enclosure is gotten when the differential with respect to x of the enclosure function is equal to zero. That is:

V'(x) = 0

V(x) = x(1500 - x) = length * breadth.

This means the enclosure has a length of x and a width of 1500 - x

Given that:

v(x)=1500x-x². Hence:

V'(x) = 1500 -2x

V'(x) = 0

1500 -2x = 0

2x = 1500

x = 1500 / 2

x = 750 feet

The maximum area = 1500(750) - 750² = 562500

The maximum area = 562500 feet²
