MATH122 CSUGlobal Functions And Graphs For Fencing A Garden

Cost of Fencing a Garden

As a property owner, you want to fence a garden which is adjacent to a road. The fencing of the side along the road must be stronger and cost $6 per foot. The fencing on the other sides cost $4 per foot. The area of garden is 3000 square feet. Remember that a square maximizes area, so use a square in your work.

• Draw several diagrams to express the situation and calculate the cost for each configuration, then estimate the dimension of minimum cost.
• Find the function that represents the cost in terms of one of its sides.
• Using the graphing utility, graph this cost function.
• Find the dimension that minimizes the cost of fencing and compare your results in #1.
