My friend has $672 to spend on a fence for her rectangular garden. She wants to use cedar fencing which costs $17/yard on one side, and cheaper metal fencing which costs $7/yard for the other three sides.

What are the dimensions of the garden with the largest area she can enclose?

The dimensions of the garden with the largest area she can enclose are given by 24*14 square yards.

The area (A) of the rectangle with length L and Width W is given by,

A=L*W

The maximum of [tex]y=ax^2+bx[/tex] occurs at x = -b/2a

Let the length and width of the garden be L and W respectively.

Now let my friend use cedar fencing for one width and cheaper metal fencing for rest sides.

Rate of cedar fencing is $17/yard

Then she has to pay for cedar fencing = 17W

rate of cheaper metal fencing is $7/yard

Then she has to pay for metal fencing = 7W+7*2L = 7W+14L

Then according to condition,

17W+7W+14L = 672

24W+14L = 672

12W+7L = 336

7L = 336-12W

L = (336-12W)/7

Then the area of the rectangular garden is given by,

A = L*W

[tex]A=\frac{336-12W}{7}\times W\\A=-\frac{12}{7}W^2+48W[/tex]

So here a = -12/7 and b = 48

Then maximum of W occurs at,

W = -48/(2*(-12/7)) = (48*7)/(2*12) = 336/24 = 14

Then maximum width = 14 yards

then length (L) = (336-12*14)/7 = 168/7 = 24 yards

Hence the dimensions with the leargest area she can enclose is given by = 24 * 14 square yards.
