Solve the problem.You are planning to close off a corner of the first quadrant with a line segment 15 units long running from (x, 0) to (0, y). Show that the area of the triangle enclosed by the segment is largest when 

What will be an ideal response?
If x , y represent the legs of the triangle, then x2 + y2 = 152.
Solving for y, y =
A(x) = xy = x
A'(x) = - +
Solving A'(x) = 0, x = ±
Substitute and solve for y: ()2 + y2 = 225 ; y =
? x = y.
