Answer:

  the maximum area is 256 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is well-known that the rectangle of given perimeter with maximum area is a square. A square with a perimeter of 64 inches has a side length of 64/4 = 16 inches. The area of that square is the square of the side length, ...

   (16 in)^2 = 256 in^2

_____

<em>Derivation of the well-known fact</em>

Let P represent the perimeter of a rectangle with side lengths x and (P/2 -x). The area is the product of these dimensions:

  A = x(P/2 -x)

This is the equation of a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and at x=P/2. The vertex (maximum) is halfway between these zeros, at x=P/4. Hence, the dimensions of the rectangle are ...

  x = P/4 . . . . . . . . . . . length

  (P/2 -P/4) = P/4 . . . . width

The length and width are the same, and both are 1/4 of the perimeter, so the rectangle is a square. Its area in terms of perimeter is ...

   A = (P/4)^2 = P^2/16

Hello,

A=(4,2)
B=(2,8)

(AB)≡y-2=(x-4)*(8-2)/(2-4) ==> y=-3x+14
(BC)≡y-8=(x-2)*1/3 ==> y=1/3 x+22/3

After a little manipulation, the given diff'l equation will look like this:

e^y * dy = (2x + 1) * dx.
                                                             x^2
Integrating both sides, we get e^y = 2------- + x + c, or e^y = x^2 + x + c
                                                               2

Now let x=0 and y = 1, o find c:

e^1 = 0^2 + 0 + c.  So, c = e, and the solution is e^y = x^2 + x + e.
