Solution

Para resolver este problema, sigamos los siguientes pasos:

  1. Definir las variables:

    • Sea x x el largo del rectángulo paralelo a la casa.
    • Sea y y el ancho del rectángulo perpendicular a la casa.
  2. Establecer la relación entre las variables:

    • Dado que la casa es uno de los límites, solo necesitamos cercar tres lados del rectángulo.
    • La longitud total de la cerca es 6 metros, por lo que podemos escribir la ecuación: x+2y=6 x + 2y = 6
  3. Expresar el área en términos de una sola variable:

    • El área A A del rectángulo es: A=xy A = x \cdot y
    • Usamos la ecuación de la cerca para expresar x x en términos de y y : x=62y x = 6 - 2y
    • Sustituimos x x en la ecuación del área: A=(62y)y A = (6 - 2y) \cdot y A=6y2y2 A = 6y - 2y^2
  4. Encontrar el valor de y y que maximiza el área:

    • Para maximizar el área, derivamos A A con respecto a y y y encontramos el punto crítico: dAdy=64y \frac{dA}{dy} = 6 - 4y
    • Igualamos la derivada a cero para encontrar el valor crítico: 64y=0 6 - 4y = 0 y=64=1.5 y = \frac{6}{4} = 1.5
  5. Calcular el valor de x x correspondiente:

    • Sustituimos y=1.5 y = 1.5 en la ecuación x=62y x = 6 - 2y : x=62(1.5)=63=3 x = 6 - 2(1.5) = 6 - 3 = 3
  6. Calcular el área máxima:

    • Sustituimos x=3 x = 3 y y=1.5 y = 1.5 en la ecuación del área: A=xy=31.5=4.5m2 A = x \cdot y = 3 \cdot 1.5 = 4.5 \, \text{m}^2

Por lo tanto, el área máxima posible de esta área de almacenamiento es 4.5m2 4.5 \, \text{m}^2 . La respuesta correcta es:

4.5 m²
