$\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{We know that a car travels 100 ft every .5 seconds}\\\\\text{Lets find how far it goes every second}\\\\100*2=200\,\text{ft per second}\\\\\text{We're trying to find how far it goes in a minute, so multiply by 60}\\\text{Since 60 seconds = 1 minute}\\200*60=12000\\\\\boxed{12,000 ft}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{100ft}{0.5s} * 60s$

$\frac{100 * 60}{0.5}$

$\frac{6000}{0.5}$

$12000ft$

find the circular cylinder of largest lateral area which can be inscribed in a sphere of radius R=4 feet

choli [55]

Let say radius is r
its height is h 
its lateral area = y 
y = 2 pi r h 
since the cylinder is inscribed in the sphere 
So (2r )^2 + h^2 = 64 
then 4 (r^2) = 64 - h^2 
since y^2 = 4 (pi)^2 r^2 h^2 
then y^2 = (pi)^2 *h^2 * (64 -h^2) 
y^2 = 64 (pi)^2 * h^2 - (pi)^2 * h^4 
2 y y' = 128 (pi)^2 * h - 4 (pi)^2 * h^3 
putting y' = 0 
4 (pi)^2 h ( 32 - h^2)=0 
ether h = 0 testing this value (changing of the sign of y' before and after ) y is minimum 
or h = 4 sqrt(2) 
testing this value (changing of the sign of y' before and after ) y is maximum 
So the maximum value of y^2 = (pi)^2 *32 *( 64 - 32) 
y^2 = (pi)^2 * (32)^2 
y = 32 (pi) square feet

hope this helps
