Answer:
The maximum area that can be obtained by the garden is 128 meters squared.
Step-by-step explanation:
A represents area and we want to know the maximum.
is a parabola. To find the maximum of a parabola, you need to find it's vertex. The y-coordinate of the vertex will give us the maximum area.
To do this we will need to first find the x-coordinate of our vertex.
to
then
.
To find the y that corresponds use the equation that relates y and x.





The maximum area that can be obtained by the garden is 128 meters squared.
Use the equation y=mx+b where m is the slope (how much it increases each time) and b is the y intercept (starting point).
Your equation would be: y=12x+0 because they eat 12 pounds each day and they start out having eaten 0 pounds.
To solve the equation, plug in the total amount of food for y and use algebra to solve for x:
250=12x
(divide by 12)
(250/12)=x
X=20.833
Their food would last approximately 20 days. (Make sure you round if required)
