Solve the following two problems using Calculus. Show all of your work on a separate sheet of paper, making clear how you arrive

d at all your solutions. Please be aware that you are using similar thinking for both of these problems, but you are solving for maximum area in Part A and minimum cost in Part B. Enjoy
A. If the materials for the fence cost $12 per foot, find the dimensions of the
corral for the largest possible area that can be enclosed with $2400 worth of fence.

B. If he only requires an area of 288 square feet for his vegetable garden, find the minimum cost of putting up this fence, if the cost per foot is $10. Indicate the dimensions of the garden that will minimize the cost.​

Answer:

  A. 50 ft square

  B. 12√2 ft square

Step-by-step explanation:

These problems are basically the same, so have the same solution. The rectangle with maximum area for a given perimeter will have the same shape as the one with minimum perimeter for a given area.

We can find it generically. Let p represent the perimeter of a rectangular area with one side that measures x. The area will be ...

  A = x(p/2 -x) = -x^2 +(p/2)x

The area will be maximized when dA/dx = 0:

  dA/dx = -2x +p/2 = 0

  p/2 = 2x . . . . . add 2x

  x = p/4 . . . . . . divide by 2

The other dimension is ...

  p/2 -x = p/2 -p/4 = p/4

The dimensions of the maximum area for perimeter p are ...

  p/4 × p/4 . . . . . . . a square

__

<h3>A. </h3>

$2400 worth of fence at $12 per foot is 2400/12 = 200 ft of fence. The largest possible area that can be enclosed will have dimensions of 200 ft/4 = 50 ft square:

  50 ft × 50 ft

__

<h3>B.</h3>

The perimeter of the garden will be at its shortest when the shape of the garden is square.

  √(288 ft²) = 12√2 ft

The dimensions of the garden that will minimize the cost are ...

  12√2 ft × 12√2 ft

At the start of the diet keirin weighted 14 stone 13 pounds three months later he weighted 13 stone 10 pounds there are 14 pound
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The amount of weight he has lost in 3 months is 1.215 stone or 1 stone 3 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are to calculate the amount of weight he has lost in three months

1 stone = 14 pounds

Let's convert all the weight lost to stone

At the start of the diet keirin weighted 14 stone 13 pounds

14 pounds = 1 stone

13 pounds = x

Cross Multiply

14x = 13

x = 13/14

x = 0.9285714286 stone

Approximately = 0.929 stone

Hence:

14 stone 13 pounds = 14 + 0.929 = 14.929 stone

Three months later he weighted 13 stone 10 pounds

14 pounds = 1 stone

10pounds = x

Cross Multiply

14x = 10

x = 10/14

x = 0.7142857143 stone

Approximately = 0.714 stone

Hence:

13 stone 10 pounds = 13 + 0.714 = 13.714 stone

The amount of weight he has lost is calculated as:

14.929 stone - 13.714 stone = 1.215 stone or 1 stone 3 pounds
