A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola y=2−x2. What are the dimensions of su

Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola

$y=2-x^2$

the parabola is open down with vertex at (0,2)

We can find that the rectangle also will be symmetrical about y axis.

Let the vertices on x axis by (p,0) and (-p,0)

Then other two vertices would be (p,2-p^2) (-p,2-p^2) because the vertices lie on the parabola and satisfy the parabola equation

Now width = $2-p^2$

Area = l*w = $2(2p-p^3)$

Use derivative test

I derivative = $2(2-3p^2)$

II derivative = $-12p$

Equate I derivative to 0 and consider positive value only since we want maximum

p = $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }$

Thus width= $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }$

Length = $2\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }$

Width = $2-2/3 = 4/3$

A motion sensor has a range of 65 meters as shown. The ultrasonic waves sweeping out from the sensor span an angle of 135°.

VMariaS [17]

The approximate area that is within range of the motion sensor is 4975 square meters

<h3>How to determine the area of the range?</h3>

The figure is not given, however the area of the range can be calculated without the figure.

The given parameters are:

Angle, ⊕ = 135°

Radius, r = 65 meters

The area of the range is calculated using the following sector area

$A = \frac{\theta}{360} * \pi r^2$

This gives

$A = \frac{135}{360} * 3.14 * 65^2$

Evaluate

A = 4974.9375

Approximate

A = 4975

Hence, the approximate area that is within range of the motion sensor is 4975 square meters
