A polynomial function that describes an enclosure is V(x)=1500x−x2, where x is the length of the fence in feet. What is the maximum area of the enclosure?623,450 ft2375,875 ft2562,500 ft2500,250 ft2

Given polynomial:

[tex]V(x)=1500x-x^2[/tex]

Where x is the length of the fence in feet.

The maximum area of the enclosure can be found by differentiating the polynomial with respect to x and equating to zero.

We have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V^{\prime}(x)\text{ = 1500 - 2x} \\ 1500\text{ - 2x = 0} \\ 2x\text{ = 1500} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2} \\ \frac{2x}{2}\text{ = }\frac{1500}{2} \\ x\text{ = 750} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substituting the value of x back into the enclosure function:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V(x=750)\text{ = 1500 }\times750-(750)^2 \\ =\text{ 562500} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:

562500
