Step-by-step explanation:
If this is the graph then the answer is two!
The dimensions of the rectangular pen should be 15 by 20 feet and the maximum area is 1200 square feet.
Let the area be y .
Area = (base) × (height)
Base = 2x
Height = h
Let the area of the rectangular pens be y .
∴ y = 2xh
Perimeter of all the fencing = 4x+3h
∴ 4x+3h = 120
now we solve for h
3h = 120-4x
h = 40 - 4/3 x
Now we will substitute this value in the above first equation:
y = 2xh
or, y = 2x (40 - 4/3 x)
or, y = 80x - 8/3 x²
Now for the maximum area we have to find the first order differentiation of y
now,
dy /dx = 80 - 16/3 x
At dy/dx = 0 we get the value of x for which y is maximum.
80 - 16/3 x = 0
or, - 16/3 x = -80
or, x = 15 feet
Hence height = 40 - 4/3 x = 40 - 20 = 20feet
Maximum area = 2xh = 2×15×40 = 1200 square feet
The dimensions of the rectangular pen should be 15 by 20 feet and the maximum area is 1200 square feet.
