A rectangular field with one side along a river is to be fenced. Suppose that no fence is needed along the river, the fence on t

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Side opposite the river = 120 ft

Other sides = 240 ft

Explanation:

Let 'R' denote the length of fence opposite to the river and 'L' denote the length of the other two sides.

The cost as a function of R is:

$L*R = 28,800\\L=\frac{28,800}{R}\\ C = 40R+10*2*\frac{28,800}{R} \\C(R) = 40R+576,000R^{-1}$

The value of R for which the derivate of the cost function is zero is the length that minimizes cost:

$C'(R) =0= 40 -576,000R^{-2}\\R=\sqrt{\frac{576,000}{40}}\\R=120\ ft\\$

If R is 120 ft, then the value of L is:

$L = \frac{28,800}{120}\\L=240\ ft$

The dimensions that will minimize costs are:

Side opposite the river = 120 ft

Other sides = 240 ft
