Answer: 90.51 square units

Explanation:

1) The rectangle has one length on the x-axis.

2) Call x, the x-coordinate of the right lower corner of the rectangle.

And the point is (x,0)

3) The x-coordinate of the lef lower corner will be - x.

And the point is (-x,0)

4) The right upper point of the rectangle will be (x,y) where y = 24 - x²

5) The left upper point of the rectangle will be (-x,y) where y = 24 - x² .

6) The area of such rectantle is the length of the base times the length of the height.

The length of the base is 2x

The lenght of the height is y

So, the area is A = 2x(y) = 2x(24 - x²) = 48x - 2x³

7) Now to find the maximum area you have to derivate the function and make it equal to zero:

dA
---- = A' = 48 - 6x² = 0 =>
dx

4x² = 48 => x² = 48/6 = 8 =>

x = (+/-)√8

Then, y = 24 - x² = 24 - (√8)² = 24 - 8 = 16

8) Therefore the area of the rectangle is

A = 2x(y) = 2(√8)(16) = 90.51.

9) You can see if x is a greater or smaller.

For example x = 2 and x = 3

x = 2 => y = 24 - (2)² = 20 => A = 2(2)(20) = 80 which is less than 90.51

x = 3 => y = 24 - (3)² = 15 => A = 2(3)(15) = 90 which is less than 90.51

So, that tells you that your result should be right.

The cube below is divided into 8 equal cubes and broken apart. What is the total surface area of all 8 cubes?
krok68 [10]

FORMULA:

TSA of cubes = 6(a)²

ANSWER:

We just have to plug the respective value.

So, TSA of 8 cubes = 6 × (12)²

  • 6 × 144
  • 864ft².

So, <u>Correct choice</u> - [C] 864 ft².

A geometric progression has first term a ,common ratior and sum to infinity 6. A second
Sauron [17]

Answer:

a = \frac{12}{7}, r = \frac{5}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to infinity of a geometric progression is

\frac{a}{1-r} ; | r | < 1

Thus for first progression

\frac{a}{1-r} = 6 ( multiply both sides by (1 - r) )

a = 6(1 - r) → (1)

Second progression

\frac{2a}{1-r^2} = 7 ← multiply both sides by (1 - r² )

2a = 7(1 - r² ) = 7(1 - r)(1 + r) ← difference of squares

2a = 7(1 - r)(1 + r) → (2)

Substitute a = 6(1 - r) into (2)

2(6(1 - r) = 7(1 - r)(1 + r)

12(1 - r) = 7(1 - r)(1 + r) ← divide both sides by (1 - r)

12 = 7(1 + r) = 7 + 7r ( subtract 7 from both sides )

5 = 7r ( divide both sides by 7 )

r = \frac{5}{7}

Substitute this value into (1)

a = 6(1 - \frac{5}{7} ) = 6 × \frac{2}{7} = \frac{12}{7}
