Question

To enclose a yard, a fence is built against a large building, so that fencing material is used only on three sides. Material for the ends costs $15 per ft; material for the side opposite the building costs$25 per ft. Find the dimensions of the yard of maximum area that can be enclosed for $2400.

Using Lagrange MuItipIiers \\ (z=f(x,y)z=f(x, y), subject to the constraint$$\mathrm{g}(x,y)=0(x, y)=0)\\

  1. Write the constraint in the form$g(x, y)=0. 2.FormtheLagrangefunction2. Form the Lagrange functionF(x, y, \lambda)=f(x, y)-\lambda\cdot g(x, y). 3.Find3. FindF_{x}(x, y, \lambda), F_{y}(x, y, \lambda),and, andF_λ{\lambda}(x, y, \lambda). 4.Formthesystemofequations4. Form the system of equations F_{x}(x, y, \lambda)=0, F_{y}(x, y, \lambda)=0,and, andF_λ{\lambda}(x, y, \lambda)=0. 5.SolvethesysteminStep4.5. Solve the system in Step 4. TherelativeextremaforThe relative extrema forf$ are among the solutions of the system.
