Let x be the width, which is equal to the diameter of the semi-circle.
Then the perimeter around just the semi-circle is (1/2) pi x.
Let y the height of the rectangular portion of the window.
Perimeter around just the rectangular portion of the window is x + 2y.
The total perimeter is (1/2) pi x + x + 2y = 30
Solve this equation for y:
2y = 30 - (1/2) pi x - x
y = 15 - (1/4) pi x - x/2
Then the area of the rectangular portion is xy.
The area of the semi-circle is (1/2) pi (x/2)^2.
The total area = A = (1/2) pi (x/2)^2 + xy
Substitute the expression for y found above into this last equation:
A = (1/2) pi (x/2)^2 + x(15 - (1/4) pi x - x/2 )
Simplify and combine like terms:
A = x^2(-pi - 4)/8 + 15x
Take the derivative and set it to zero:
A' = (1/4) (-4-pi)x + 15 = 0
Solve for x:
(1/4) (-4-pi)x = -15
Multiply by -4:
(4+pi)x = 60
Divide:
x = 60 / (4+pi) ≈ 8.4 ft
y = 15 - (1/4) pi x - x/2 = 30 / (4+pi) ≈ 4.2 ft

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x + 4y = 6 and passes through the point (6, 4) ). es A ) y = 2x + 4 B) y
netineya [11]

Answer:

B - y = 2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find slope

2x + 4y = 6

4y = -2x + 6

Make y the subject of the formula

y =( -2x + 6)/4

We can separate to get the slope

y = -2x/4 + 6/4

y = -x/2 + 3/2

Slope m = -1/2

Step 2: using a point slope form equation

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other, it is always a negative reciprocal of each other

ie m = 2

Substitute m into the equation

y - y1 = 2(x - x1)

Step 3: sub the point

( 6 , 4)

x1 = 6

y1 = 4

y - 4 = 2( x - 6)

Step 4 : using a slope intercept form equation

Open the bracket

y - 4 = 2x - 12

y = 2x - 12 + 4

y = 2x - 8

The equation of a line is

y = 2x - 8

Solve the inequality and graph the solution<br> 4x-5&gt;7
ohaa [14]

Answer:

x > 3

interval notation: (3, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality statement: 4x - 5 > 7,

The goal is to isolate x and find its solution.

Start by adding 5 to both sides:

4x - 5 + 5 > 7 + 5

4x > 12

Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 > 12/4

x > 3

The solution can also be expressed in the following interval notation:

(3, ∞).

In terms of graphing, it involves an empty circle on the endpoint, x = 3, as it is not included as a solution. The solution to the given inequality statement must be greater than 3.
