Answer:

Width=20 feet

Since Length=Width=20 feet, the rectangle is a Square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area, A=40w - w^2

To determine the width of the rectangle that gives the maximum area, we take the derivative of A and solve for its critical point.

A'=40 - 2w\\$When A'=0\\40-2w=0\\40=2w\\w=20 feet

The width of the rectangle that gives the maximum area =20 feet.

Perimeter of a rectangle=2(l+w)

Perimeter of the rectangle=80 feet

2(l+w)=80

2l+2(20)=80

2l=80-40

2l=40

l=20 feet

Since the length and width are equal, the special type of rectangle that produces this maximum area is a Square.

-2w(w+8) what is the answer
Julli [10]
-2w (w + 8)
 Assuming that it is a polynomial from which you must find the roots, we must first rewrite it:
 -2w (w + 8) = 0
 The roots are then:
 w1 = 0
 w2 = -8
 Assuming you only have to rewrite the expression, the answer is:
 -2w ^ 2 -16w
 Answer:
 w1 = 0 
 w2 = -8
 -2w ^ 2 -16w

HELP if you can pls pls pls ty
Serhud [2]

Answer: I think its $176.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The area would be 21

Feet would be = 50.4 (21 x 2.4)

Then it would cost $176.40 (50.4 x $3.50)

I might be wrong, I'm not entirely sure.
