Enclosing the Most Area with a Fence A farmer with 10,000 meters of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular field and then divide it into two plots with a fence parallel to one of the sides. See the figure. What is the largest area that can be enclosed?

The monthly revenue R achieved by selling
x wristwatches is figured to be The monthly cost C of selling x wristwatches is
(a) How many wristwatches must the firm sell to maximize revenue? What is the maximum revenue?
(b) Profit is given as P(x) = R(x) - C(x). What is the profit function?
(c) How many wristwatches must the firm sell to maximize
profit? What is the maximum profit?
(d) Provide a reasonable explanation as to why the answers found in parts (a) and (c) differ. Explain why a quadratic function is a reasonable model for revenue.
Graph the function by starting with the graph of and using transformations (shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflection). Verify your results using a graphing utility.
Hint: If necessary, write in the form .

A projectile is fired at an inclination of to the horizontal, with a muzzle velocity of . The height h of the projectile is modeled by
where x is the horizontal distance of the projectile from the firing point.
Part (a): At what horizontal distance from the firing point is the height of the projectile a maximum?
Part (b): Find the maximum height of the projectile.
Part (c): At what horizontal distance from the firing point will the projectile strike the ground?
Part (d) Using a graphing utility, graph the function h, .
Part (e): Use a graphing utility to verify the results obtained in parts (b) and (c).
Part (f): When the height of the projectile is above the ground, how far has it traveled horizontally?
