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}.

What is the area of rhombus ABCD? Enter your answer in the box. Do not round at any steps.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Area of the rhombus ABCD = 16 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rhombus = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Diagonal 1})(\text{Diagonal 2})

From the graph attached,

Diagonal 1 = Distance between the points A and C

Diagonal 2 = Distance between the points B and D

Length of a segment between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^2 }

Diagonal 1 (AC) = \sqrt{(4-0)^2+(-1+1)^2} = 4 units

Diagonal 2(BD) = \sqrt{(2-2)^2+(3+5)^2} = 8 units

Now area of the rhombus ABCD = \frac{1}{2}(\text{AC})(\text{BD})

                                                       = \frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 8

                                                       = 16 units²

Therefore, area of the given rhombus is 16 units².

Which are counterexamples?<br> Look at the picture below. <br> Choose all that apply.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

x^4/(2x^6)

Explanation:

In the first example the division results in a radical, not a polynomial.

The remaining examples are not counter-examples (they do result in a polynomial)

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify each term.

(\frac{1}{4})^{2} = 0.0625

4^{3} =64

(4-1) = 3

Now we multiply:

0.0625*64*3 = 12

Hope this helps!
