Question: A gardener wants to enclose 1500 square meters rectangular patch of land using the least amount of fencing possible. One side of the land lies along a barn, and for that reason will remain unfenced. The area to be enclosed remains fixed but the width, w, and length, 1 , vary. The amount of fencing to be used is given as a function of \(\mathrm{w}\) by \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{w})=2 \mathrm{w}+1500 / \mathrm{w}\). What is the minimum amount of fencing to be used? Solve the problem algebraically and graphically.
