a gardner wishes to encloe a rectangular 3000 square feet area with bushes on three sides and a fence on the 4th side .If the bushes cost $25.00per foot and the fence costs $10.00 per foot, find the dimensions that minimize the total cost and find the minimum cost

To solve this problem, we need to find the dimensions that minimize the total cost. Let's assume the length of the rectangle is "L" and the width is "W". Since the area of the rectangle is given as 3000 square feet, we have the equation:

L * W = 3000 -------- (Equation 1)

The gardener wants to enclose the three sides with bushes and the remaining side with a fence. The cost of the bushes is $25.00 per foot, and the cost of the fence is $10.00 per foot. We need to find the dimensions that minimize the total cost, which can be determined using the following equation:

Total Cost = (Cost of Bushes per foot * Perimeter of the three sides with bushes) + (Cost of Fence per foot * Length of the remaining side with the fence)

To find the perimeter of the three sides with bushes, we need to calculate the sum of the lengths of the three sides. Since two sides have length L, and one side has length W, we have:

Perimeter of three sides with bushes = 2L + W -------- (Equation 2)

To find the length of the remaining side with the fence, we need to subtract twice the width (W) from the overall length (L). So, the length of the remaining side with the fence is:

Length of the remaining side with the fence = L - 2W -------- (Equation 3)

Now, substitute Equations 2 and 3 into the Total Cost equation:

Total Cost = (Cost of Bushes per foot * (2L + W)) + (Cost of Fence per foot * (L - 2W))

Total Cost = 25(2L + W) + 10(L - 2W)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

Total Cost = 60L + 15W -------- (Equation 4)

We want to minimize the Total Cost, so we take the partial derivatives of Total Cost with respect to L and W and set them equal to zero:

d(Total Cost)/dL = 60 = 0 -------- (Equation 5)
d(Total Cost)/dW = 15 = 0 -------- (Equation 6)

Since these partial derivatives are constants, we can solve Equations 5 and 6 to find the values of L and W:

From Equation 5, we get: L = 0
From Equation 6, we get: W = 0

However, these values don't make sense in the context of our problem because we can't have zero dimensions. Therefore, we conclude that there is no minimum or maximum point within the feasible region.

In this case, we can determine that the minimum cost is not achieved at any specific dimensions. To verify this, we can consider different combinations of length and width to find the total cost.
