- Graph the functionsarrow_forwardA farmer wants to fence an area of 24 million square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence parallel to one of the sides of the rectangle. Let y represent the length (in feet) of a side perpendicular to the dividing fence, and let x represent the length (in feet) of a side parallel to the dividing fence. Let F represent the length of fencing in feet. Write an equation that represents F in terms of the variable x. F(x) = Find the derivative F'(x). F'(x) = Find the critical numbers of the function.
