. Maximum profit occurs at those x-values for which R'(x) = C'(x) and R"(x) < C"(x), where R(x) is the total revenue and C(x) is the total cost when x units are produced. 16. Maximizing area. A rancher wants to enclose two rectangular areas near a river, one for sheep and one for cattle. The rancher has 240 yd of fencing available. What is the largest total area that can be enclosed?

Bob wants to create two pens, as shown in the figure. One pen is for a garden and it needs a heavy duty fence to keep out the critters. This heavy duty fence costs $28 per foot. The dog pen shares a side with the garden and has a lighter weight fence on the other three sides that costs $7 per foot. If each pen is to have an area of 3,240, find the values of x and y that would minimize the total cost of the fencing. x= y=
Professor Calderon wants to build a rectangular fence along a pond so his dogs can go for a swim; he does not have to build a fence along the pond. So far Professor Calderon has 56 ft of fencing. What dimensions must the fence be in order to maximize the area of the rectangle? What is the maximum area?
The Calculus Beverage Company (CBC) is designing a new energy drink called The Newton. Part of their design (and advertising campaign) is for the metal can to be bold and large while holding 1 liter of liquid (1000 cubic centimeters). In an effort to maintain profits, the CBC would like to minimize the cost of manufacturing. The can is in the shape of a right circular cylinder. CBC found a supplier for materials and was quoted costs. The top and bottom are going to be made of a stronger material that will cost $0.05 per square centimeter. The sides will be thinner and only cost $0.02 per square cm. What are the dimensions of the can that will minimize cost (round to the nearest centimeter)?
A restaurant selling hamburgers has fixed costs of $11,975 and sells the burgers for $5.50 each. The restaurant breaks even when making and selling 2,470 burgers. What is the restaurant's break-even point? (x, y) =
Farmer Brown wants to upgrade the fencing around his rectanger pasture. He would like to put a stone fence along one(1) side and a wooden fence along the other three (3) sides. The cost of the stone fence is $100 per linear foot, and the cost of the wooden fence is $20 per linear foot. a. If the pasture must have an area of 7,500 square feet, what are the dimensions of the field which will minimize the cost of the fencing? What will the cost of the fencing be at the dimensions that you found?
