A farmer has 160 yd of fencing material and wants to enclose three rectangular pens. Suppose that x represents the length of each pen and y represents the width as shown in the figure. a. Assuming that the farmer uses all 160 yd of fencing, write an expression for y in terms of x . b. Write an expression in terms of x for the area of one individual pen. c. If the farmer wants to design the structure so that each pen encloses 250 yd 2 , determine the dimensions of each pen.

17. Suppose we know that the graph below is the graph of a solution to dy/dt = f(t).
(a) How much of the slope field can
you sketch from this information?
[Hint: Note that the differential
equation depends only on t.]
(b) What can you say about the solu-
tion with y(0) = 2? (For example,
can you sketch the graph of this so-
lution?)

(b) Find the (instantaneous) rate of change of y at x = 5.
In the previous part, we found the average rate of change for several intervals of decreasing size starting at x = 5. The instantaneous rate of
change of fat x = 5 is the limit of the average rate of change over the interval [x, x + h] as h approaches 0. This is given by the derivative in the
following limit.

f(x + h) − f(x)
h
The first step to find this limit is to compute f(x + h). Recall that this means replacing the input variable x with the expression x + h in the rule
defining f.
f(x + h) = (x + h)² - 5(x+ h)

The second step for finding the derivative of fat x is to find the difference f(x + h) − f(x).
