You have 42 ft. of fencing (1 ft. segments) to make a rectangular garden. How much should each side be to maximize your total ar

ea? What will the total area be for the garden? Find the length, width, and area of your garden that will maximize its total area.

Answer:

Length=10.5\ ft

Width=10.5\ ft

Area=110.25\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the length of the rectangular garden

y---> the width of the rectangular garden

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

P=2(x+y)

we have

P=42\ ft

so

42=2(x+y)

simplify

21=(x+y)

y=21-x------> equation A

Remember that the area of rectangle is equal to

A=xy ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

A=x(21-x)

A=21x-x^{2}----> this is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum area

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length side of the rectangle that maximize the area

using a graphing tool

The vertex is the point (10.5,110.25)

see the attached figure

so

x=10.5\ ft

Find the value of y

y=21-10.5=10.5\ ft

The garden is a square

the area is equal to

A=(10.5)(10.5)=110.25\ ft^{2} ----> is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex is correct

Y= 13 over 10x + 2 is the answer. The most important thing to remember when finding the slope of the line is RISE over RUN. When you rise, you go up or down. When you run, you go right or left. Think of RISE over RUN as a fraction.

You find two points on the line and you count up/down a certain amount of spaces, and right/left a certain amount of spaces to go from one point to the other point.

In this equation, we could use the point on the y-axis and the last point we see on the graph located at (10,15). You count up/down vertically first until you reach the horizontal line that the point is on. Then, you count the amount of spaces horizontally it takes you to reach the point. In this problem, you move up 13 spaces, and move to the right 10 spaces. This as a fraction will be 13 over 10, because we rose 13 spaces and we ran 10 spaces to get to our second point. The y-intercept will be the only number that is on the y-axis, which is 2.
