Question 795793
A farmer wants to enclose a rectangular field along a river on three sides. If 1,200 feet of fencing is to be used, what dimensions will maximize the enclosed area?
-----------
The length = 2x the width
--> 300 by 600
===============
Area = L*W = W*(1200 - 2W)
= -2W^2 + 1200W
-------
Find the Axis of Symmetry of the parabola, it's W = 300
