Rewrite the following quadratic function in vertex form. f(x) = 6x² + x +4

plz answer asap

Here, A = L*W and P=2L+2W.  Maximize P.  Subst. L = A/W for L in the 2nd equation:

P=2(A/W) + 2W.  This is to be minimized.

dP/dW = 2[-A/(W^2)) + 2W.  But A = 120 sq in:

dP/dW = 2[-120/(W^2)) + 2W   set this equal to 0 and solve for W.
Once you have W, find L:  L=120/W

Let 2[-120/(W^2)) + W] = 0.  Then   [-120/(W^2)) + W] = 0

Multiplying all terms by W^2 gives us -120 + W^3 = 0.

w^3 = 120 cubic inches.  Find the cube root to find W.  

W = cube root of 120 = 4.93 inches.  L = 120/W, or L = 120/4.93 inches

Summary:  W = 4.93 inches and L = 24.33 inches   (answer)
