Answer:

Length =24m and width = 21m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of rectangle, A = 504 m^2

Perimeter of rectangle, P = 90 m

Since we know, A = Length * width and P = 2(Length + width)

So, A = L * w

=> 504 = L*w ------------------(1)

And P = 2(L + w)

=> 90 =2( L + w) ----------------(2)

Plug L =504/w in equation 2

i.e. 90 = 2( 504/w + w)

or 45 = 504/w + w

or 45 = (504 + w^2 ) / w

or 45w = 504 + w^2

or w^2 - 45w + 504 = 0

On solving above quadratic equation we get:

w = 21 or 24

So we take width , w= 21 meter

Then length will be, L =504/21 =24 meter

Hence length and width of rectangle are 24m and 21m respectively.

Answer:

186

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS

First do 46 x 8 = 368 then divide that by 2, which would be, 184. Then add 2 to 184 and you get 186. :)

1.) Find the length of the arc of the graph x^4 = y^6 from x = 1 to x = 8.

xxTIMURxx [149]

First, rewrite the equation so that y is a function of x :

$x^4 = y^6 \implies \left(x^4\right)^{1/6} = \left(y^6\right)^{1/6} \implies x^{4/6} = y^{6/6} \implies y = x^{2/3}$

(If you were to plot the actual curve, you would have both $y=x^{2/3}$ and $y=-x^{2/3}$ , but one curve is a reflection of the other, so the arc length for 1 ≤ x ≤ 8 would be the same on both curves. It doesn't matter which "half-curve" you choose to work with.)

The arc length is then given by the definite integral,

$\displaystyle \int_1^8 \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2}\,\mathrm dx$

We have

$y = x^{2/3} \implies \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac23x^{-1/3} \implies \left(\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2 = \dfrac49x^{-2/3}$

Then in the integral,

$\displaystyle \int_1^8 \sqrt{1 + \frac49x^{-2/3}}\,\mathrm dx = \int_1^8 \sqrt{\frac49x^{-2/3}}\sqrt{\frac94x^{2/3}+1}\,\mathrm dx = \int_1^8 \frac23x^{-1/3} \sqrt{\frac94x^{2/3}+1}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute

$u = \dfrac94x^{2/3}+1 \text{ and } \mathrm du = \dfrac{18}{12}x^{-1/3}\,\mathrm dx = \dfrac32x^{-1/3}\,\mathrm dx$

This transforms the integral to

$\displaystyle \frac49 \int_{13/4}^{10} \sqrt{u}\,\mathrm du$

and computing it is trivial:

$\displaystyle \frac49 \int_{13/4}^{10} u^{1/2} \,\mathrm du = \frac49\cdot\frac23 u^{3/2}\bigg|_{13/4}^{10} = \frac8{27} \left(10^{3/2} - \left(\frac{13}4\right)^{3/2}\right)$

We can simplify this further to

$\displaystyle \frac8{27} \left(10\sqrt{10} - \frac{13\sqrt{13}}8\right) = \boxed{\frac{80\sqrt{10}-13\sqrt{13}}{27}}$
