PRACTICE ANOTHER A piece of wire 18 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? m (b) How much wire should be used for the square in order to minimize the total area? m

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equations

4x + 3y = 18   where x = the side of the square and y = the side of the triangle

For the areas:

A = x^2 + √3y/2* y/2

A = x^2  + √3y^2/4

From the first equation x = (18 - 3y)/4

So substituting in the area equation:

A = [ (18 - 3y)/4]^2 + √3y^2/4

A = (18 - 3y)^2 / 16 + √3y^2/4

Now for maximum / minimum area the derivative = 0 so we have

A' = 1/16 * 2(18 - 3y) * -3 + 1/4 * 2√3 y = 0

-3/8 (18 - 3y) + √3 y /2 = 0

-27/4 + 9y/8 + √3y /2 = 0

-54 + 9y + 4√3y = 0

y = 54 / 15.93

= 3.39 metres

So x = (18-3(3.39) / 4 = 1.96.

This is a minimum value for x.

So the total length of wire the square  for minimum  total area is 4 * 1.96

= 7.84 m

There is no maximum area as the equation for the total area is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient.

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 = 18 m

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

The length of the wire bent into an equilateral triangle = (18 - 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 = (18 - x)/3

Area of square = side²

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

Total area:

T = (x/4)² + √3/4 {(18 -x)/3}² _____(1)

Now,

To find the maximum we will differentiate (1)

dT/dx = 0

2x/4 + (√3/4) x 2(18 - x)/3 x -1 = 0

2x / 4 - (√3/4) x 2(18 - x)/3 = 0

2x/4 - (√3/6)(18 - x) = 0

2x / 4 = (√3/6)(18 - x)

√3x = 18 - x

√3x + x = 18

x (√3 + 1) = 18

x = 18 / (1.732 + 1)

x = 18/2.732

x = 6.58

x = 7

Thus,

The length of the square must be 7 m in order to maximize the total area.

Step-by-step explanation:

By rule of bodmas rule

= - 30 + 5 + 24

In tennis, a player must win 6 games in order to win a set. However, winning 6 games does not guarantee that the player will win the set. If g is the number of games the player won and s is the number of sets the player won, which of the following inequalities must be true?
a. s ≤ 6g
b. s ≥ 6g
c. 6s ≤ g
d. 6s ≥ g

Answers

Answer:

A: s ≤ 6g

Step-by-step explanation:

Had this on a test that I scored 100 on.

The inequality that is true if winning 6 games doesn't guarantee you as a winner in the set is 6s ≤ g.

What are inequalities?

An inequality is a relationship that makes a comparison between two non-equal values, integers or other mathematical equations.

From the given information, we have the following claim that:

A player must win 6 games in order to win a set. But winning those 6 games doesn't guarantee winning the set.

So, we are given certain condition attached that;

If "g" = number of games won, and "s" = number if set won.

Then, the inequality that is true for this condition is 6s ≤ g.

It implies that, the player truly won the six games but it doesn't guarantee him winning the set.

Graph the function f(x)=x^2+2x-8
what are x intercepts
what are y intercepts
what is maximum or minimum value

Answers

Answer:

The x intercepts are 2, -4

The y intercept is -8

The minimum is -9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2+2x-8

To find the x intercepts, set equal to zero and factor

0 =x^2+2x-8

0 = (x+4)(x-2)

Using the zero product property

0 = x+4    0 = x-2

x = -4        x = 2

The x intercepts are 2, -4

To find the y intercepts, set x =0 and solve for y

y = 0^2 +2(0) -8

y = -8

The y intercept is -8

Since the coefficient of the x^2 is positive, the parabola opens up so we have a minimum.

The vertex is  halfway between the x intercepts

(-4+2)/2 = -2/2 = -1

To find the minimum substitute x= -1 into the equation

f(x)=x^2+2x-8

f(-1) = (-1)^2 +2(-1)-8 = 1-2-8 = -9

The minimum is -9

Graph attached

y=x²+2x-8y=x²+4x-2x-8y=x(x+4)-2(x+4)y=(x+4)(x-2)

x intercepts (-4,0) and (2,0)

Y intercept :-

Find the missing side lengths.

Answers

Answer:

x is 18, and y is 9 √ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle that contains a 30 degree angle, we know this is a special right triangle, and the missing angle is 60 degrees since a triangle is 180 degrees, and 180 - 90 - 30 = 60.

The relationship is listed below:

The side opposite of the 30 degrees can be represented as a variable, say "p", and the hypotenuse which is x in your question is twice this. The side opposite of the 60 degree angle is x + √3

So x is 18, and y is 9√3

Step-by-step explanation:

The hourly wage increase each employee receives each year depends on their number of years of service. Every three years of service means an increase of $0.50 per hour. So, employees that have been with the company for less than three years can expect to receive an increase of $0.50 per hour. Employees that have been with the company for at least three years, but less than six years can expect an increase of $1.00. Employees that have been with the company for at six years, but less than nine years, receive an increase of $1.50 per hour. And, employees of at least nine years, but less than twelve years receive an increase of $2.00. Write a function to represent this scenario.
