There is 1500 ft of fencing available to make 6 identical pens. Find the maximum area for EACH pen (meaning maximum of one pen).

The maximum area is therefore is 93750 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter are;

The a]length of fencing available = 1500 ft.

The perimeter of the figure = 9·x + 4·y

Therefore, 9·x + 4·y = 1500 ft.

The area of the figure = 6 × (x × y) = 3·x × 2·y

From the equation for the perimeter, we have;

9·x + 4·y = 1500

y = 1500/4 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4·x

y = 375 - 9/4·x

Substituting the value of y in the equation for the area gives;

Area = 3·x × 2·y = 3·x × 2·(375 - 9/4·x) = 2250·x - 27/2·x²

Area = 2250·x - 27/2·x²

The maximum area is found by taking the derivative and equating to zero as follows;

d(2250·x - 27/2·x²)/dx = 0

2250 - 27·x = 0

x = 2250/27 = 250/3

x = 250/3

y = 375 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4×250/3 = 187.5

The maximum area is therefore, 3·x × 2·y = 3 × 250/3 × 2 × 187.5 = 93750 ft²

The maximum area is therefore = 93750 ft.²

idk lol

step-by-step explanation:

x = 12

y = 1

for the points!
