Perimeter = 2L + 2W →  240 = 2L + 2W  →  120 = L + W  → 120-L = W
Area = L x W  → Area = L(120-L)  →  Area = 120L - L²
Find the derivative:
dA/dL = 120 -2L → 0 = 120 - 2L → L = 60

Area = 120L - L² = 120(60) - (60)²  = 7200 - 3600 = 3600

The maximum area is 3600 yds²

Determine ƒ(–a) where ƒ(x) = x2– 6x and simplify.
puteri [66]
Please use "^" to denote exponentiation:  f(x) = x^2 - 6x.

To find f(-a), replace "x" with "(-a)" in the function (x) = x^2 - 6x:

f(-a) = (-a)^2 - 6(-a)  =  a^2 + 6a (answer)

What is the length of leg s of the triangle below?
Alchen [17]

The question is not well formatted. A ell formatted version of the question type is attached and solved below :

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry :

Taking the angle 45°

From trigonometry :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Opposite = s ; hypotenus = 10√2

Sin 45 = s / 10√2

Recall :

Sin 45 = 1/√2

We have ;

1/√2 = s / 10√2

s = 10√2 * 1/√2

s = 10√2 / √2

s = 10
