If 5300 feet of fencing are used to enclose a rectangular field, the resulting area of the field is A=x(2650-x) where x is the width of the pen. What is the maximum possible area of the pen?

A) 70,225
B)1,755,625
C)1325
D)33,125

If 5300 feet of fencing is used and x=/=y then

5300=2x+2y, y=(5300-2x)/2, y=2650-x

A=xy, using y from above

A=x(2650-x)

A=2650x-x^2

dA/dx=2650-2x, d2A/dx2=-2, so that means that when dA/dx=0 it is an absolute maximum for A(x)

dA/dx=0 only when 2650=2x, x=1325

A(1325)=2650x-x^2=1,755,625

A (x) = 2650 x - x²
A ` (x) = 2650 - 2x = 0 for max A
x = 1325 ft

A (1325) = 1325 [ 2650 - 1325 ] ft²
A (1325) = 1 755 625 ft²______Option B

The maximum area will be enclosed by a square pen. (5300 ft/4)^2 = 1,755,625 ft^2.
_____
The vertex of the expression for A is at x=2650/2.

Differentiating, you get dA/dx = 2650-2x. This is zero at x=2650/2.
