Guidelines for solving optimization problems:
𝑑�/𝑑�=1600−4�
1. Identify all given quantities and quantities to be
𝑑�/𝑑�= 0 (largest area)
determined.
2. Make a sketch and label the quantities. 1600−4�=0
3. Write a primary equation for the quantity that is to 4�=1600
be maximized or minimized. � = 1600/4 = 𝟒𝟎𝟎�
4. Reduce the primary equation to one having a single �=1600−2�=1600−2400=𝟖𝟎𝟎�
independent variable. 𝑨�𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒓: 𝟒𝟎𝟎� 𝒃� 𝟖𝟎𝟎�
5. Determine the feasible domain of the primary
equation. A rectangular field is to been closed by a fence and divided
6. Determine the desired maximum or minimum value into three lots by fences parallel to one of the sides. Find the
by using calculus techniques. dimensions of the largest field that can been closed with 800
feet of fencing.
Find two numbers whose sum is 30, and the sum of whose
squares is a minimum. 𝑮𝒊𝒗𝒆�: �=800�𝑡

�=𝐿�𝑊�� = � (12−2�) (18−2�)
�=216�−60�2+4�3
𝑑�/𝑑� = 216 −120� + 12�2
𝑑�/𝑑� = 0 (𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒�𝑡 𝑣�𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒)
216 − 120� + 12�2 = 0
