If you answered letter ‘a’ , congratulations for you are right!

Solution:

let x = width
y = length                          

A = x * y

P = 2x + 2y

40 = 2x + 2y

2y = 40 – 2x

y = 20 – x

A = x * y

A = x(20 –x)

A =20x – x²

Find the derivative of the area and equate it to zero, after that get the maxima.

*To test if the number is in maxima, you must get the second derivative, if it is negative, thus the answer is maxima, on the other hand, if it is positive it is minima.

dA/dx = 20 – 2x

0 = 20 – 2x

2x = 20

x = 10

Check if 10 is the maxima:

A’ = 20 -2x

A’’ = -2

Since A’’ is negative, thus positive 10 is the maxima.

A = x(20 – x)

A = 10(20 – 10)

A = 10 * 10

A = 100 sq.meters

Well, if you answered 'd' you are right!

Solution:
x = be my age
2x = age of my teacher
x - 8 = age of mine, 8 years ago
2x - 8 = age of my teacher, 8 years ago

x - 8 = (2x - 8) 1/3
3(x - 8) = 2x -8
3(x - 8) = 2x - 8
3x - 24 = 2x - 8
3x - 2x = 24 - 8
x = 16 ......my age

Since my teacher is twice of my age, my teacher now is 32.
Hope you got it right!
