Find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given perimeter and a maximum area. perimeter: 244 meters

1 answer:

6 0

We know that

[perimeter of rectangle]=2*(length+width)

Let
x-----------> length
y-----------> width
so
P=2*(x+y)-----------> 244=2*(x+y)-----> x+y=122-------> y=122-x

Area=x*y-------> x*(122-x)----> 122x-x²

find the derivative function and equals to zero

122-2x=0-----> 122=2x----------> x=61 m
y=122-x------> y=122-61---------> y=61 m

the maximum area is given by a square

the answer is
is a square of side 61 m

Find the value of 2cosx+1=0;0 less than x less than 360°

ohaa [14]

Answer:

120°; 240°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first solve for $cosx$ : $2cosx=-1 \rightarrow cosx=-\frac12$ At this point it's just a matter of drawing a circle, and mark where the angle is(please excuse my paint skills, but free hand drawing would be even worse). Red line, is $-\frac12$ on the cosines, and both the green and blue lines are valid solutions. The green line is a quarter of a circle, plus 30°, or 120°. The blue one is 3/4 of a circle, minus 30 degrees, or 240°.
