A diagram above shows a piece of grassland, made up of a rectangle and a quadrant.

The length and breadth of the rectangle is 4x m and y m respectively.
The centre of the quadrant, O is the midpoint of the length of the rectangle.
Given that the perimeter of the grassland is 8 m,

(i) show that the area of the grassland is given by the formula [4]
A  16 x  16 x 2  x 2 .

Given that x can vary,

(iii) determine whether this stationary value is a maximum or minimum. [1]
