On a game show, you get to throw a dart at a circle of radius 50 inches. If you miss, you get to throw again until you hit the c
ircle. How much money you win is determined by finding the product of the x and y coordinates of the point you hit. You want to determine the coordinates of the point that will maximize your winnings. Part a says to write the equation(s) you will be working with in this problem.
Part b says Use calculus to determine the coordinates of any point on the circle that will give you the largest possible money winnings. Round to the nearest hundredth. Note:that point must be ON the circle not outside or inside the circle
There is a Math website that has a lot of Calculus story problems. He shows you how to solve problems. patrickjmt.com also on Youtube; Patrickjmt channel. The Yourmathgal channel is also good, both have over 800 videos. Have gone to both since 2011.
