Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
thus
set the derivative to 0, and check the critical points, there's only one anyway
and do a first-derivative test, to see if it's a maximum

Answer:
Part A
The bearing of the point 'R' from 'S' is 225°
Part B
The bearing from R to Q is approximately 293.2°
Step-by-step explanation:
The location of the point 'Q' = 35 km due East of P
The location of the point 'S' = 15 km due West of P
The location of the 'R' = 15 km due south of 'P'
Part A
To work out the distance from 'R' to 'S', we note that the points 'R', 'S', and 'P' form a right triangle, therefore, given that the legs RP and SP are at right angles (point 'S' is due west and point 'R' is due south), we have that the side RS is the hypotenuse side and ∠RPS = 90° and given that =
, the right triangle ΔRPS is an isosceles right triangle
∴ ∠PRS = ∠PSR = 45°
The bearing of the point 'R' from 'S' measured from the north of 'R' = 180° + 45° = 225°
Part B
∠PRQ = arctan(35/15) ≈ 66.8°
Therefore the bearing from R to Q = 270 + 90 - 66.8 ≈ 293.2°
