John wants to separate a rectangular part of his garden for his puppy. He has material for a 100-meter long fence and he plans to use one side of his house as a barrier. How should John select the sizes of his fence in order to gain the biggest territory?

We can denote the sides of the rectangle with a and b. As one side of the separated area is going to be the wall of the house, we do not have to use a fence there. Therefore, we will have two sides, one ...

f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 5. Find (a) f ′′(x), (b) ∫f(x)dx.

(a) To find the second derivative of f(x) we must differentiate f twice.the first derivative of f is f'(x)= 3x^2 + 6xthe second derivative therefore is f''(x)= 6x +6
(b) The integral of f(x) with res...

Solve, giving your answer to 3 s.f. : 2^(2x) - 6(2^(x) ) + 5 = 0

22x - 6(2x ) + 5 = 0let y = 2xy2 - 6y + 5 = 0(y-5)(y-1) = 0 y=5, y=12x = 5, therefore, x = log25 = 2.32 (3 s.f.)2x = 1, therefo...

Find the gradient of the function f(x,y)=x^3 + y^3 -3xy at the point (2,1), given that f(2,1) = 6.

Firstly, establish that the correct method to do this is via differentiation: specifically implicit differentiation. To find the gradient, we need to find dy/dx. The differential with res...
