Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the height isn't given, we assume it to be "h" (of cylinders). And the answer will be in terms of "r" and "h".
The area of 1 arm is given, so the area of 2 arms would be:
Now, area of 2 cylinders would be the formula:
So, total area is A_arm PLUS A_cyl. The fractional area the arms are would be gotten by taking expression A_arm divided by A_total.
Shown below:
We simplify further:
THis is the answer.
Remember how the tangent function is defined as
Now where exactly are the vertical assymptotes? Well, where cosx = 0, because anything over 0 is undefined, and where a value is undefined, you are required to draw a vertical assymptote.
Now where exactly are the x interecepts? Well, where sinx = 0, because remember, an x-intercept is where y = 0, or where it crosses the x-axis, meaning where the tangent function is equal to 0.
So the x-intercepts are at where sinx = 0.
