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}.

Let H be an upper Hessenberg matrix. Show that the flop count for computing the QR decomposition of H is O(n2), assuming that th
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the attached document

Step-by-step explanation:

Hessenberg matrix- it a special type of square matrix,there there are two subtypes of hessenberg matrix that is upper Hessenberg matrix and lower Hessenberg matrix.

upper Hessenberg matrix:- in this type of matrix  zero entries below the first subdiagonal or in another words square matrix of n\times n is said to be in upper Hessenberg form  if ai,j=0

for all i,j with i>j+1.and upper Hessenberg matrix is called unreduced if all subdiagonal entries are nonzero

lower Hessenberg matrix:-  in this type of matrix  zero entries upper the first subdiagonal,square matrix of n\times n is said to be in lower Hessenberg form  if ai,j=0  for all i,j with j>i+1.and lower Hessenberg matrix is called unreduced if all subdiagonal entries are nonzero.

A spherical balloon was inflated such that it had a diameter of 24 centimeters. Additional helium was then added to the balloon
DanielleElmas [232]
To solve this we are going to use the formula for the volume of a sphere: V= \frac{4}{3}  \pi r^3
where 
r is the radius of the sphere 

Remember that the radius of a sphere is half its diameter; since the first radius of our sphere is 24 cm, r= \frac{24}{2} =12. Lets replace that in our formula: 
V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3
V= \frac{4}{3} \pi (12)^3
V=7238.23 cm^3

Now, the second diameter of our sphere is 36, so its radius will be: r= \frac{36}{2} =18. Lets replace that value in our formula one more time:
V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3
V= \frac{4}{3} \pi (18)^3
V=24429.02

To find the volume of the additional helium, we are going to subtract the volumes:
Volume of helium=24429.02cm^3-7238.23cm^3=17190.79cm^3

We can conclude that the volume of additional helium in the balloon is approximately <span>17,194 cm³.</span>
