_____

It can help to keep in mind what the square of a binomial looks like:

  (x -a)² = x² -2ax +a²

The coefficient of x is -2a. The constant is the square of half that (-2a/2)² = a².

Julie will build a rectangular pen for her dog against a barn. A wall from the barn will form one side of the pen. She has 32 m
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

<h3> The width (side perpedicular to the barn):  <u>x = 8 m</u></h3><h3>      The lenght (side parallel to the barn):  <u>y = 16 m</u> </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

x  - the width of the barn

She has 32 m of fencing so for the lenght remain (32-2x) m of fencing:

y = 32 - 2x

Area of the fencing:  A = x•y

A(x) = x•(32 - 2x)

A(x) = -2x² + 32x             ←  quadratic function

The maximum value of quadratic function occurs at:  x=-\frac b{2a}

a = -2,  b = 32

x=-\frac b{2a}=-\frac{32}{2\cdot(-2)}=-(-8)=8

32-2x = 32 - 2•8 = 16
