Answer:

a.

35.2792 cm from one end (The square)

And 27.7208 cm from the other end (The circle)

b. See (b) explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of Wire ,= 63cm

Let L be the length of one side of the square

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Perimeter of a square = 4L

a. To minimise

4L + 2πr = 63 ----- make r the subject of formula

2πr = 63 - 4L

r = (63 - 4L)/2π

r = (31.5 - 2L)/π

Let X = Area of the Square. + Area of the circle

X = L² + πr²

Substitute (31.5 - 2L)/π for r

So,

X² = L² + π((31.5 - 2L)/π)²

X² = L² + π(31.5 - 2L)²/π²

X² = L² + (31.5 - 2L)²/π

X² = L² + (992.25 - 126L + 4L²)/π

X² = L² + 992.25/π - 126L/π +4L²/π ------ Collect Like Terms

X² = 992.25/π - 126L/π + 4L²/π + L²

X² = 992.25/π - 126L/π (4/π + 1)L² ---- Arrange in descending order of power

X² = (4/π + 1)L² - 126L/π + 992.25/π

The coefficient of L² is positive so this represents a parabola that opens upward, so its vertex will be at a minimum

To find the x-cordinate of the vertex, we use the vertex formula

i.e

L = -b/2a

L = - (-126/π) / (2 * (4/π + 1)

L = (126/π) / ( 2 * (4 + π)/π)

L = (126/π) /( (8 + 2π)/π)

L = 126/π * π/(8 + 2π)

L = (126)/(8 + 2π)

L = 63/(4 + π)

So, for the minimum area, the side of a square will be 63/(4 + π)

= 8.8198 cm ---- Approximated

We will need to cut the wire at 4 times the side of the square. (i.e. the four sides of the square)

I.e.

4 * (63/(4 + π)) cm

Or

35.2792 cm from one end.

Subtract this result from 63, we'll get the other end.

i.e. 63 - 35.2792

= 27.7208 cm from the other end

b. To maximize

Now for the maximum area.

The problem is only defined for 0 ≤ L ≤ 63/4 which gives

0 ≤ L ≤ 15.75

When L=0, the square shrinks to 0 and the whole 63 cm wire is made into a circle.

Similarly, when L =15.75 cm, the whole 63 cm wire is made into a square, the circle shrinks to 0.

Since the parabola opens upward, the maximum value is at one endpoint of the interval, either when

L=0 or when L = 15.75.

It is well known that if a piece of wire is bent into a circle or a square, the circle will have more area, so we will assume that the maximum area would be when we "cut" the wire 0, or no, centimeters from the

end, and bend the whole wire into a circle. That is we don't cut the wire at

all.

Yolanda participated in a walkathon in which each kilometer walked raised $10 for charity. Her goal was to raise more than $300
KiRa [710]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

She needed to raise at least $250

$250 divided by $10 equals 25 km

So she need more than 25km to raise over $300

The time required for an automotive center to complete an oil change service on an automobile approximately follows a normal​ di
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

a) Therefore 92.64% of customers receive the service for​ half-price.

b) Therefore it would take 8.52 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ime required for an automotive center to complete an oil change service on an automobile approximately follows a normal​ distribution with:

mean (μ) = 15 minutes

Standard deviation (σ) = 3.5 minutes

a) The z score is given by the equation:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Since the service will take no longer than 20 minutes,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{20-15}{3.5} = 1.43

Using the probability table to get the probability of the z score

percent of customers receive the service for​ half-price = P(X < 20) = P(z < 1.43) = 0.9236 = 92.64%

Therefore 92.64% of customers receive the service for​ half-price.

b) Since the probability is 3% = 0.03, this corresponds with a z score of -1.88

Therefore:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{x-15}{3.5} =-1.88

\frac{x-15}{3.5} =-1.88

{x-15} =-6.58\\x=-6.58+15=8.52\\x=8.52 minutes

Therefore it would take 8.52 minutes
