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}.

Find the unit rate. Enter your answer as a mixed number.
lesya [120]

The unit rate is the change of a quantity over one unit of another thus the unit rate of fertilizer covers is (30/8) foot per hour.

<h3>What is the rate of change?</h3>

The rate of change is the change of a quantity over 1 unit of another quantity.

Most of the time the rate of change is the change with respect to time.

For example the speed 3meter/second.

As per the given,

A fertilizer covers 5/8 square feet in 1/6 hour.

5/8 square feet ⇒ 1/6 hour

Multiply both sides by 6

6 × 5/8 square feet ⇒ 6/6 hour

30/8 square feet ⇒ 1 hour.

Hence "The unit rate is the change of a quantity over one unit of another thus the unit rate of fertilizer covers is (30/8) foot per hour".

What are the zeros of f(x) = x2 + x - 20?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

x = - 5, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + x - 20

To find the zeros equate f(x) to zero, that is

x² + x - 20 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 20) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 1)

The factors are + 5 and - 4, since

5 × - 4 = - 20 and + 5 - 4 = + 1, hence

(x + 5)x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
