<span>So the exact dimensions are width = 13*sqrt(2) height = 13*sqrt(2)/2 Approximate dimensions are width = 18.38477631085024 height = 9.19238815542512 I am assuming that there's a formatting issue with this problem and the actual radius is 13, not 1313. With that in mind, I will work out the problem with a radius of 13 and simply provide an answer without explanation for a radius of 1313. First, let's define the height of the rectangle as a function of its width. If we consider just half the width, we can create a right triangle where 1 leg is half the width, the other leg is the height, and the hypotenuse is the radius of the semicircle. So h = sqrt(13^2 - (w/2)^2) h = sqrt(169 - w^2/4) The area of the rectangle will be A = wh Substituting the equation for h, we get A = wh A = w * sqrt(169 - w^2/4) Since we're looking for a maximum, that will only happen when the slope of the area function is 0 which you can determine by the first derivative. So let's calculate the first derivative. A = w * sqrt(169 - w^2/4) A' = d/dw [ w * sqrt(169 - w^2/4) ] A' = d/dw [ w ] * sqrt(169 - w^2/4) + w * d/dw [ sqrt(169-w^2/4) ] A' = 1 * sqrt(169 - w^2/4) + 1/2(169 - w^2/4)^(0.5 - 1) * d/dw [ 169-w^2/4 ] * w A' = sqrt(169 - w^2/4) + (-1/4 * d/dw [ x^2 ] + d/dw [ 169 ]) * w / (2*sqrt(169-w^2/4)) A' = sqrt(169 - w^2/4) + (-w/2)*w / (2*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) A' = sqrt(169 - w^2/4) + -w^2/2 / (2*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) A' = sqrt(169 - w^2/4) - w^2/(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) A' = sqrt(169 - w^2/4)*(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4))/(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) - w^2/(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) A' = 4(169 - w^2/4)/(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) - w^2/(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) A' = (676 - w^2)/(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) - w^2/(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) A' = ((676 - w^2) - w^2)/(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) A' = (676 - 2w^2)/(4*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) A' = (338 - w^2)/(2*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) Now find the zeros of the derivative 0 = (338 - w^2)/(2*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) 0*(2*sqrt(169 - w^2/4)) = (338 - w^2) 0 = 338 - w^2 w^2 = 338 w = +/- 13*sqrt(2) Now a negative width doesn't make sense for this problem, so the desired width is 13*sqrt(2) or approximately 18.38477631085024 Let's plug that value into the equation for the height: h = sqrt(169 - w^2/4) h = sqrt(169 - 13*sqrt(2)/4) h = sqrt(169 - 338/4) h = sqrt(169 - 169/2) h = sqrt(169/2) h = 13/sqrt(2) h = 13*sqrt(2)/2 So the exact dimensions are width = 13*sqrt(2) height = 13*sqrt(2)/2 Approximate dimensions are width = 18.38477631085024 height = 9.19238815542512 If the radius is truly 1313, then width = exactly 1313*sqrt(2), approximately 1856.862407 height = exactly 1313*sqrt(2)/2, approximately 928.4312037</span>

Answer:

A Hermitian matrix is a matrix that is equal to its conjugate transpose. This generalizes the concept of a "symmetric matrix", since every real symmetric matrix is Hermitian.

Ket [755]

Answer:

45 % of the students prefer biology.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's read and write all the data from the question.

100 students are interviewed to see which of biology, chemistry and physics they prefer.

Therefore, we have three categories to classify the students :

A student that prefers biology

A student that prefers chemistry

And a student that prefers physics

52 of the students are girls. Therefore,

100-52=48 students are boys.

29 of the girls like biology best. In order to answer the question, we will only need the amount of boys that prefer biology and sum them to the amount of girls that like biology best.

24 of the boys prefer physics. Therefore,

48-24=24 is the sum of the boys that prefer chemistry and biology.

13 out of the 21 who prefer chemistry are girls. Therefore,

21-13=8 are boys that prefer chemistry.

If 24 is the sum of the boys that prefer chemistry and biology ⇒

24-8=16 are boys that prefer biology.

If we sum 29+16=45 is the number of students that prefer biology.

If we want to calculate the percentage we need to divide the amount of students that prefer biology by the total of students interviewed and then multiply that number by 100 :

(\frac{45}{100}).(100)=45 %

45 % of the students prefer biology.
