Afarmer with 750 ft of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into four pens with fencing parallel to one side of the rectangle. what is the largest possible total area of the four pens?
(a) ,some with shallow, wide pens and some with deep, narrow pens. find the total areas of these con gurations. does it appear that there is a maximum area? if so, estimate it.
(b) draw a diagram illustrating the general situation. intro- duce notation and label the diagram with your symbols.
(c) write an expression for the total area.
(d) use the given information to write an equation that relates the variables.
(e) use part (d) to write the total area as a function of one variable.
(f) finish solving the problem and compare the answer with your estimate in part (a).

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
