<span>x/900(pi) = 135/360
x = [900pi][135/360] = 337.5(pi) sq ft (area that receives water)
Hope this helps!

So for this problem, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y = ab^x. The a variable is the initial value, and the b variable is the growth/decay.
Since our touchscreen starts off at a value of 1200, that will be our a variable.
Since the touchscreen is decaying in value by 25%, subtract 0.25 (25% in decimal form) from 1 to get 0.75. 0.75 is going to be your b variable.
In this case, time is our independent variable. Since we want to know the value 3 years from now, 3 is the x variable.
Using our info above, we can solve for y, which is the cost after x years.

In context, after 3 years the touchscreen will only be worth $506.
Answer:
bottom side (a) = 3.36 ft
lateral side (b) = 4.68 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to maximize the area of the window, subject to a constraint in the perimeter of the window.
If we defined a as the bottom side, and b as the lateral side, we have the area defined as:

The restriction is that the perimeter have to be 12 ft at most:

We can express b in function of a as:

Then, the area become:

To maximize the area, we derive and equal to zero:

Then, b is:
