Answer:

The circumference of the circle when A is a minimum is 31.21 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we construct a square of side "a" and a circle of diameter "D", we divide the length of the wire in the sum of both perimeters.

The perimeter of the square is

P_s=4\cdot a

The perimeter of the circle is

P_c=\pi D

The length of the wire is

L=4a+\pi D=71

Then we can express a in function of D:

4a+\pi D=71\\\\a=\frac{71}{4}-\frac{\pi}{4}D

The area A is the sum of the area of the circle and the square. We can then replace a by D as the independent variable:

A=A_c+A_s=\frac{\pi D^2}{4}+a^2= \frac{\pi D^2}{4}+(\frac{71-\pi D}{4})^2\\\\ A= \frac{\pi D^2}{4} +\frac{71^2-2*71*\pi D+(\pi D)^2}{16}

To optimize the area we derive and equal to 0:

\frac{dA}{dD} =\frac{2\pi}{4} D+\frac{-142\pi+2\pi^2 D}{16}=0\\\\\frac{8\pi D-142\pi+2\pi^2 D}{16} =0\\\\\frac{\pi}{16} (8D-142+2\pi D)=0\\\\(8+2\pi)D=142\\\\D=142/(8+2\pi)=142/14.28=9.94

The area is mimimum when the D=9.94.

Then, the circunference for this diameter is:

P_c=\pi D=3.14*9.94=31.21

PLEASEE HELP!!

Answer:

<h2>A)t=6.7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • quadratic equation
  • quadratic equation word problems
  • solving quadratic
<h3>given:</h3>

h(t) = -4t² + 12t + 100

<h3>to solve:</h3>

t

<h3>tips and formulas:</h3>
  • <u>the</u><u> </u><u>Ball</u><u> </u><u>will</u><u> </u><u>hit </u><u>the</u><u> ground</u><u> </u><u>when</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> height</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>0</u>
  • <u>solving</u><u> </u><u>quadratics </u><u>using</u><u> </u><u>quadratic</u><u> formula</u>
  • <u>PEMDAS</u>
<h3>let's solve: </h3>

step - 1 :  \: define

- 4 {t}^{2}  + 12t + 100 = 0

step - 2 :  \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \:  - 4

{t}^{2}  - 3t - 25 = 0

step - 3 :  \\ solve \: the \: quadratic

formula :  \\ x =  \frac{ - b± \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac }  }{2a}

define \: a ,b \: and \: c \\ which \: are \: 1, - 3 \: and \:  - 25 \: respectively

t =  \frac{ - ( - 3)± \sqrt{ {( - 3)}^{2} - 4.1. - 25 }  }{2.1}

t =  \frac{  3± \sqrt{ 9    + 100}  }{2}

t = \frac{3 +  \sqrt{ 109 } }{2}

t =  \frac{3  -  \sqrt{ 109 } }{2}

t = 6.7 \\ t =  - 3.7

as \: we \: know \: time \: cannot \: be \: negative

\huge \therefore \: t = 6.7
