Answer:

A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola

y=5−x^2. What are the dimensions of such a rectangle with the greatest possible area?

Width =

Height =

Width =√10 and Height = \frac{10}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle which lie on the given parabola y = 5 - x² ........ (1)

are (h,k) and (-h,k).

Hence, the area of the rectangle will be (h + h) × k

Therefore, A = h²k ..... (2).

Now, from equation (1) we can write k = 5 - h² ....... (3)

So, from equation (2), we can write

A =h^{2} [5-h^{2} ]=5h^{2} -h^{4}

For, A to be greatest ,

\frac{dA}{dh} =0 = 10h-4h^{3}

⇒ h[10-4h^{2} ]=0

⇒ h^{2} =\frac{10}{4} {Since, h≠ 0}

⇒ h = ±\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}

Therefore, from equation (3), k = 5 - h²

⇒ k=5-\frac{10}{4} =\frac{10}{4}

Hence,

Width = 2h =√10 and

Height = k =\frac{10}{4}.

Answer:

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles follow a scale factor. This scale factor can enlarge or make a triangle smaller, using this factor, like a ratio. We can do 22/10 to get this scale factor for the set, which is 2.2. Finally, divide 33 by 2.2 to get 15 for the missing side length y.

What are the coordinates of the centroid of a triangle with vertices D(0,1),E(2,6), and F(7,2) enter your answer in the boxes
Daniel [21]

The coordinates of centroid of given triangle are: (3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

D(0,1) = (x1,y1)

E(2,6) = (x2,y2)

F(7,2) = (x3,y3)

The centroid of a triangle when the vertices are known is given by:

C = (\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3} , \frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3})

Putting the values

C = (\frac{0+2+7}{3} , \frac{1+6+2}{3})\\C = (\frac{9}{3} , \frac{9}{3})\\= (3,3)

Hence,

The coordinates of centroid of given triangle are: (3,3)
