A Norman window has the shape of a semicircle atop a rectangle so that the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the width of t

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

132.233 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width of the rectangle 'w' and the length 'x'. So the area of the semicircle is:

$A_1 = \pi*radius^2/2$

$A_1 = \pi*(w/2)^2/2$

$A_1 = \pi/8*w^2$

And the area of the rectangle is:

$A_2 = w*x$

If the perimeter of the window is 41 feet, we have:

$Perimeter = length + 2*width + \pi*radius$

$41 = x + 2*w + \pi*w/2$

$x = 41 - w(2 + \pi/2)$

Now, the equation for the total area of the window is:

$A = A_1 + A_2 = \pi/8*w^2 + w*x$

$A = \pi/8*w^2 + w*(41 - w(2 + \pi/2))$

$A = (\pi/8-2 - \pi/2)*w^2 + 41w = -3.1781w^2 + 41w$

To find the maximum area, we can find the x-coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic equation:

$x\_vertex = -b / 2a = -41 / (-3.1781*2) = 6.45$

So the width that gives us the maximum area of the window is 6.45 feet, and the area will be:

$A = -3.1781w^2 + 41w = -3.1781*(6.45)^2 + 41*6.45 = 132.233\ ft^2$

1. S(–4, –4), P(4, –2), A(6, 6) and Z(–2, 4) a) Apply the distance formula for each side to determine whether SPAZ is equilatera

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a) SPAZ is equilateral.

b) Diagonals SA and PZ are perpendicular to each other.

c) Diagonals SA and PZ bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we form the triangle with the help of a graphing tool and whose result is attached below. It seems to be a paralellogram.

a) If figure is equilateral, then SP = PA = AZ = ZS:

$SP = \sqrt{[4-(-4)]^{2}+[(-2)-(-4)]^{2}}$

$SP \approx 8.246$

$PA = \sqrt{(6-4)^{2}+[6-(-2)]^{2}}$

$PA \approx 8.246$

$AZ =\sqrt{(-2-6)^{2}+(4-6)^{2}}$

$AZ \approx 8.246$

$ZS = \sqrt{[-4-(-2)]^{2}+(-4-4)^{2}}$

$ZS \approx 8.246$

Therefore, SPAZ is equilateral.

b) We use the slope formula to determine the inclination of diagonals SA and PZ:

$m_{SA} = \frac{6-(-4)}{6-(-4)}$

$m_{SA} = 1$

$m_{PZ} = \frac{4-(-2)}{-2-4}$

$m_{PZ} = -1$

Since $m_{SA}\cdot m_{PZ} = -1$ , diagonals SA and PZ are perpendicular to each other.

c) The diagonals bisect each other if and only if both have the same midpoint. Now we proceed to determine the midpoints of each diagonal:

$M_{SA} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot S(x,y) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot A(x,y)$

$M_{SA} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (-4,-4)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (6,6)$

$M_{SA} = (-2,-2)+(3,3)$

$M_{SA} = (1,1)$

$M_{PZ} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot P(x,y) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot Z(x,y)$

$M_{PZ} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (4,-2)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-2,4)$

$M_{PZ} = (2,-1)+(-1,2)$

$M_{PZ} = (1,1)$

Then, the diagonals SA and PZ bisect each other.

Determine the 1-unit growth factor for f f. [We encourage you to write the expression that represents the value of the growth fa

timofeeve [1]

Answer: The complete question is found in the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To determine the 1-unit growth factor for <em>f</em>

= 2.1/1.75 = 1.2

b) To determine the 1-unit percent change for <em>f</em>

<em>=100 x 1-1.2/1 = 0.2 x 100= 20%</em>

<em>c) to determine the initial value of f</em>

<em>f(x)= abˣ , b =1.2 a=initial value</em>

<em>at (-1,2.1)</em>

<em>2.1= (1.2)⁻¹ x a</em>

<em>a = 2.1/(1.2)⁻¹ </em>

<em>a = 2.1 x 1.2 = 2.52</em>

<em />

<em>d) to determine the function formula for f</em>

<em>f(x)= abˣ = 2.52(1.2)ˣ</em>
