A wire 6 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square for a frame for a stained glass ornament, while the

other piece is bent into a circle for a TV antenna. To reduce storage space, where should the wire be cut to minimize the total area of both figures?
Give the length of wire used for each:
For the square:
For the circle:

Answer:

Used wire in circle  x = 2.64 m

Used in square   L - x = 3.36 m

Total wire used 6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a wire of 6 meters long.

We will cut it a distance x from one end, to get two pieces

x    and   6 - x

We are going to use the piece x  to get the circle then

So Perimetr of a circle is 2π*r    (r is the radius of the circle) then:

x = 2*π*r    ⇒    r = x/2*π

And area would be  A(c) = π* (x/2*π)²   ⇒ A(c) = x²/4π

From 6 - x we will get a square, and as the perimeter is 4 times the side

we have

( 6 - x )/ 4  is the side of the square

And the area is  A(s) = [( 6 - x ) /4]²

Total area as function of x is

A(t)  = A(c) + A(s)

A(x)  =  x²/4π  + [ ( 6  -  x  ) / 4 ]²

A(x)  =   x²/4π  + (36 + x² - 12x) /16

A(x)  = 1 / 16π [ 4x² + 36π + πx² -  12π x ]

Taking drivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x) = 1/ 16π [8x +2πx - 12π]

A´(x) = 0    ⇒      1/ 16π [8x +2πx - 12π]  = 0

[8x +2πx - 12π]  = 0

8x + 6.28x -  37.68  = 0

14.28x - 37.68 =  0      ⇒  x  = 37.68 /14.28

x = 2.64 m   length of wire used in the circle

Then the length L  for the side of the square is  

(6 - x )/4    ⇒ ( 6 - 2.64 )/ 4   ⇒ 3.36 / 4    

L = 0.84 m   total length of wire used in the square is

3.36 m

And total length of wire used is 6 m

The function is a quadratic  function and "a" coefficient is positive then is open upward parabola there is not a maximun

The capacity of the milk pitcher on the counter is 9/10 liter each one pitcher has3/8 of milk in it and the other pitcher has 5/
KatRina [158]

Answer:

57/80L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the capacity (i.e maximum possible volume) of a pitcher is 9/10L

1st Pitcher is 3/8 full of milk

Hence Vol of milk in 1st pitcher = 9/10 x 3/8 = 27/80L

2nd Pitcher is 5/12 full of milk

Hence Vol of milk in 2nd pitcher = 9/10 x 5/12 = 3/8 = 30/80L

Total volume = 27/80 + 30/80 = 57/80L

Use the given information to draw a box-and-whisker plot of the data set
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The box-and-whisker plot of this distribution is presented in the attached image to this solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A box plot gives a visual representation of the distribution of the data, showing where most values lie and those values that greatly differ from the rest, called outliers.

A box and whiskers plot shows 5 major information about the distribution of data. It shows:

- The maximum variable.

- The minimum variable.

- The Median.

- The first quartile.

- The third quartile.

Further info such as the range and Inter quartile range can then be obtained from this 5-number summary.

The elements of the box plot are described thus;

The bottom side of the box represents the first quartile, and the top side, the third quartile. Therefore, the width of the central box represents the inter-quartile range.

The horizontal line inside the box is the median.

The lines extending from the box reach out to the minimum and the maximum values in the data set, as long as these values are not outliers. The ends of the whiskers are marked by two shorter horizontal lines.

Variables in the dataset, higher than Q3+(1.5×IQR) or lower than Q1-(1.5×IQR) are considered outliers and are usually shown using dots above the top whisker or below the bottom whisker.

The required boxplot for this question is given in the attached image to this solution.

The median for the boxplot isn't provided, but it was assumed to be midway between the first and third quartile.

Hope this Helps!!!
