Step-by-step explanation:
We know we have only 80 feet of fence available, and \displaystyle L+W+L=80,L+W+L=80, or more simply, \displaystyle 2L+W=80.2L+W=80. This allows us to represent the width, W, in terms of L.
\displaystyle W=80 - 2LW=80−2L
Now we are ready to write an equation for the area the fence encloses. We know the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width, so

This formula represents the area of the fence in terms of the variable length L. The function, written in general form, is
\displaystyle A\left(L\right)=-2{L}^{2}+80L.A(L)=−2L
2
+80L.
The quadratic has a negative leading coefficient, so the graph will open downward, and the vertex will be the maximum value for the area. In finding the vertex, we must be careful because the equation is not written in standard polynomial form with decreasing powers. This is why we rewrote the function in general form above. Since a is the coefficient of the squared term, \displaystyle a=-2,b=80,a=−2,b=80, and \displaystyle c=0.c=0.

The maximum value of the function is an area of 800 square feet, which occurs when \displaystyle L=20L=20 feet. When the shorter sides are 20 feet, there is 40 feet of fencing left for the longer side. To maximize the area, she should enclose the garden so the two shorter sides have length 20 feet and the longer side parallel to the existing fence has length 40 feet.

On 1 November 1858, the British granted amnesty to all rebels not involved in murder, though they did not declare the hostilities to have formally ended until 8 July 1859. Its name is contested, and it is variously described as the Sepoy Mutiny, the Indian Mutiny, the Great Rebellion, the Revolt of 1857, the Indian Insurrection, and the First War of Independence.
