Let width and length be x and y respectively.
Perimeter (32in) =2x+2y=> 16=x+y => y=16-x
Area, A = xy = x(16-x) = 16x-x^2
The function to maximize is area: A=16 x-x^2
For maximum area, the first derivative of A =0 => A'=16-2x =0
Solving for x: 16-2x=0 =>2x=16 => x=8 in
And therefore, y=16-8 = 8 in

Please answer this question I need it i. Vertex and standard form.
Brums [2.3K]

Equation :

This parabola is facing downwards and highest point of the parabola is it's vertex.

Highest point is (-2,2)

so the vertex is (-2,2)

The graph is passing through (-1,0)

Equation in vertex form is

y = a(x - h) {}^{2}  + k

0 = a( - 1 + 2) {}^{2}  + 2 \\ 0 =a (1) {}^{2}  +2 \\  0 = a + 2 \\ a =  - 2

Substitute back in Equation

y =  - 2(x  + 2) {}^{2}  + 2

the graph has two x intercepts -1 and -3

that means (x+1) and (x+3) are the factors

multiply factors to get the equation in standard form

-2(x + 1)(x + 3) = 0 \\ -2(x {}^{2}  + x + 3x + 3) = 0 \\  -2( x {}^{2}  + 4x + 3) = 0

-2x^2-8x-6=0
