Is anyone good with math?
I am trying to help my DS with his math homework. We are stuck on one question. I am wondering if anyone would be willing to explain how to obtain the answer to us.
"You are designing a rectangular enclosure with 8 rectangular sections separated by parallel walls. If you have 2900 feet of fencing, what is the maximum area that can be enclosed?"
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

To fully answer the problem would require a whole lot of explanation and a couple of diagrams. Instead, I've sent you a PM with a link that will take you to a site which explains it pretty well. I'd link it here, but that's against the rules.
Basically, you need to find the vertex of the graph of the quadratic equation 9X + 2Y = 2900. That will give you the values for X & Y that result in the maximum area.
