Graph Quadratic Functions Using Properties · Exercise 59

Solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth.

A land owner is planning to build a fenced in rectangular patio behind his garage, using his garage as one of the “walls.” He wants to maximize the area using 80 feet of fencing. The quadratic function A(x) = x(80 − 2x) gives the area of the patio, where x is the width of one side. Find the maximum area of the patio.
