For 0≤x≤50 \le x \le 5, the quantity A(x)=x(10−2x)A(x)=x(10-2x) represents the area, in square units, of a region whose linear dimensions depend on xx. (a) Compute A′(x)A'(x). (b) Find all critical points of AA in the interval [0,5][0,5]. (c) Determine the value of xx that yields the maximum area and calculate that maximum. Justify your conclusion using an appropriate calculus test.
