What are the dimensions of x and ythat maximizes the area given that the perimeter is 100

OpenStudy (nottim):

I dunno. Did you do any work on this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is still more to the equation

OpenStudy (nottim):

OH NO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perimeter is P= piy+2x

OpenStudy (nottim):

Give it up, atom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't tel if you actually need help or are just screwing around

OpenStudy (nottim):

What's pi? 3.14 somethin something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and area is A=xy+(piy^2)/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually area is cos(x) * sin(y) / g^2 (where g is the gravitational constant)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So cam u guys help?

OpenStudy (nottim):

ARGH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this the optimization section in calculus ?

OpenStudy (nottim):

Sub 100 in for p, and then do algebra I guess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (nottim):

You good then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
