A rancher has 600600 feet of fencing to put around a rectangular field and then subdivide the field into 33 identical smaller rectangular plots by placing two fences parallel to one of the field's shorter sides. Find the dimensions that maximize the enclosed area. Write your answers as fractions reduced to lowest terms.

x =  150 ft

y  =   y  =  150 / 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the field is    A  =  x*y

Let´s assume x is the larger side of the rectangle, and that we will get 33 identical smaller rectangular plots dividing  x into 33 rectangles ( using 34 sides of length  y ) then the quantity of fence is:

p  =  2*x  +  34*y   ⇒   600  =  2*x  +  34*y        y  =  ( 600 - 2*x)/34

A = x*y

A (x)  =  x*  ( 600 - 2*x)/34

A (x)  = ( 600*x  - 2*x²)/34

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation:

A´(x)  = (1/34)* ( 600 - 4*x )

A´(x)  =  0       (1/34)* ( 600 - 4*x ) = 0      600  -  4*x  = 0

x  =  600/4

x = 150 feet

And  y  =  (1/34)( 600 -  2*150)

y  =  300/34    y  =  150 / 17 ft

y  =  8.82 ft

How do we know that is a maximum area, we find the second derivative of A

A´´(x)   =    - 4/34      then  A´´(x) < 0

We get a maximum of function A for the value  x = 150

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
