A piece of wire 11 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral triangle. (a) How much wire should be used for the square in order to maximize the total area

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can say that the square has a side length of x. The perimeter of the square is 4x, and that is how much wire goes into the square. To maximize the area, we should use all the wire possible, so the remaining wire goes into the triangle, or (11-4x).

The area of the square is x², and the area of an equilateral triangle with side length a is (√3/4)a². Next, 11-4x is equal to the perimeter of the triangle, and since it is equilateral, each side has (11-4x)/3 length. Plugging that in for a, we get the area of the equilateral triangle is

(√3/4)((11-4x)/3)²

= (√3/4)(11/3 - 4x/3)²

= (√3/4)(121/9  - 88x/9 + 16x²/9)

= (16√3/36)x² - (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36)

The total area is then

(16√3/36)x² - (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36) + x²

= (16√3/36 + 1)x² -  (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36)

Because the coefficient for x² is positive, the parabola would open up and the derivative of the parabola would be the local minimum. Therefore, to find the maximum area, we need to go to the absolute minimum/maximum points of x (x=0 or x=2.75)

When x=0, each side of the triangle is 11/3 meters long and its area is

(√3/4)a² ≈ 5.82

When x=2.75, each side of the square is 2.75 meters long and its area is

2.75² = 7.5625

Therefore, a maximum is reached when x=2.75, or the wire used for the square is 2.75 * 4 = 11 meters

Answer 2

The length of the square must be 4 m in order to maximize the total area.

What are the maxima and minima of a function?

When we put the differentiation of the given function as zero and find the value of the variable we get maxima and minima.

We have,

Length of the wire = 11 m

Let the length of the wire bent into a square = x.

The length of the wire bent into an equilateral triangle = (11 - x)

Now,

The perimeter of a square = 4 side

4 side = x

side = x/4

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 side

11 - x = 3 side

side = (11 - x)/3

Area of square = side²

Area of equilateral triangle = (√3/4) side²

Total area:

T = (x/4)² + √3/4 {(11 -x)/3}² _____(1)

Now,

To find the maximum we will differentiate (1)

dT/dx = 0

2x/4 + (√3/4) x 2(11 - x)/3 x -1 = 0

2x / 4 - (√3/4) x 2(11 - x)/3 = 0

2x/4 - (√3/6)(11 - x) = 0

2x / 4 = (√3/6)(11 - x)

√3x = 11 - x

√3x + x = 11

x (√3 + 1) = 11

x = 11 / (1.732 + 1)

x = 11/2.732

x = 4

Thus,

The length of the square must be 4 m in order to maximize the total area.

How do you Graph 3x+4y< -16 on the coordinate plane

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Take note of the inequality symbol. It is < (not ≤), so the "equal to" case is not included. That means the line 3x+4y=-16 is not part of the solution set. That boundary line is graphed as a dashed line.

Take note of where the variables are in relation to the inequality symbol. Both are on the "less than" side, so the shading of the graph will be where the values of x and y are less than those on the boundary line. The boundary line has a negative slope, so the values less than those on the boundary are to the left and below the line.

Plot the dashed boundary line 3x +4y = -16, or y = -3/4x -4, and shade the area below and to its left.

The angle formed by the boats and the lighthouse, and whose vertex is at the blue boat, measures 120°. Find the distance from the red boat to the lighthouse. What is the angle made from the lighthouse to the two boats?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

red boat distance: 42 milesangle at lighthouse: 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines can be used to find the distance from the red boat to the lighthouse.

  b² = l² +r² -2lr·cos(B)

  b² = 18² +30² +2·18·30·cos(120°) = 1764

  b = √1764 = 42

The distance from the red boat to the lighthouse is 42 miles.

__

The angle at the lighthouse can be found using the law of sines.

  sin(L)/l = sin(B)/b

  L = arcsin(l/b·sin(B)) = arcsin(18/42·sin(120°)) ≈ 21.79°

The angle between the boats measured at the lighthouse is about 22°.

1 calculate the weight of a dog on the earth and on the moon if it has a mass of 28kg

Answers

To solve the problem.

W=m×g

W=28×10

W=280.

The weight of a dog on the surface of earth is 280N.

Answer:

274.68N and 45.36N respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of any object is the mass in kilograms(kg) multiplied by the gravity in meter per square second(m/s^2). The gravity on earth is 9.81m/s^2 and on moon is 1.62m/s^2...so since the gravity varies the weight of the dog will also vary. The wight on earth would be 28kg multiplied by 9.81m/s^2 which would be 274.68N and the weight on moon would be 28kg multiplied by 1.62m/s^2 which would be 45.36N.

Shaun is planting trees along his driveway, and he has 66 redwoods and 66 pine trees to plant in one row. What is the probability that he randomly plants the trees so that all 66 redwoods are next to each other and all 66 pine trees are next to each other

Answers

Answer:

0.0022 = 0.22% probability that he randomly plants the trees so that all 6 redwoods are next to each other and all 6 pine trees are next to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The trees are arranged, so the arrangements formula is used to solve this question. Also, a probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Arrangements formula:

The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by:

[tex]A_n = n![/tex]

Desired outcomes:

Two cases:

6 redwoods(6! ways) then the 6 pine trees(6! ways)

6 pine trees(6! ways) then the 6 redwoods(6! ways)

So

[tex]D = 2*6!*6![/tex]

Total outcomes:

12 trees, so:

[tex]D = 12![/tex]

What is the probability that he randomly plants the trees so that all 6 redwoods are next to each other and all 6 pine trees are next to each other?

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{2*6!*6!}{12!} = 0.0022[/tex]

0.0022 = 0.22% probability that he randomly plants the trees so that all 6 redwoods are next to each other and all 6 pine trees are next to each other.

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 421 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 43 bag sample had a mean of 414 grams. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 19.

Required:
a. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level that the bags are underfilled?
b. Find the P-value of the test statistic.

Answers

Answer:

a) The p-value of the test is 0.0078 < 0.1, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level that the bags are underfilled.

b) 0.0078.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 421 gram setting.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is of 421, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 421[/tex]

It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags.

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is of less than 421, that is:

[tex]H_a: \mu < 421[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

421 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 421[/tex]

A 43 bag sample had a mean of 414 grams. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 19.

This means that [tex]n = 43, X = 414, \sigma = 19[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{414 - 421}{\frac{19}{\sqrt{43}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -2.42[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean below 414, which is the p-value of z = -2.42.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.42 has a p-value of 0.0078.

The p-value of the test is 0.0078 < 0.1, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level that the bags are underfilled.

b. Find the P-value of the test statistic.

As found above, the p-value of the test statistic is 0.0078.

You can run at a speed of 4 mph and swim at a speed of 2 mph and are located on the shore, 6 miles east of an island that is 1 mile north of the shoreline. How far (in mi) should you run west to minimize the time needed to reach the island

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5.423 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance to run. Then the remaining distance to the point that is closest to the island is (6-x) miles. The straight-line distance (d) to the point x from the island is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

  d² = 1² +(6 -x)² = x² -12x +37

  d = √(x² -12x +37)

The total travel time is the sum of times running and swimming. Each time is found from ...

  time = distance/speed

  total time = x/4 + d/2 = x/4 +(1/2)√(x² -12x +37)

__

The total time will be minimized when its derivative with respect to x is zero.

  t' = 1/4 +(1/4)(2x -12)/√(x² -12x +37) = 0

Multiplying by 4 and combining fractions, we can see the numerator will be ...

  √(x² -12x +37) +2x -12 = 0

Subtracting the radical term and squaring both sides, we get ...

  4x² -48x +144 = x² -12x +37

  3x² -36x +107 = 0

The quadratic formula tells us the smaller of the two roots is ...

  x = (36 -√(36² -4(3)(107)))/(2(3)) = (36 -√12)/6 ≈ 5.423 . . . mi

You should run 5.423 miles west to minimize the time needed to reach the island.

__

A graphing calculator solves this nicely. The attached graph shows the time is a minimum when you run 5.423 miles.
