A norman window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle. (thus the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the wi

dth of the rectangle.) if the perimeter of the window is 16 ft, find the value of x so that the greatest possible amount of light is admitted. (give your answer correct to two decimal places.) x = ft

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>For </em><em>x = 2.24</em><em>, greatest possible amount of light will be admitted.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

According to the question, the perimeter of the window is 16 ft

From the attachment,

Perimeter of the window = Perimeter of the rectangle-Width of the rectangle + Curved perimeter of the semi-circle

So,

\Rightarrow (2x+y+y+2x)-(2x)+(\pi x)=16\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+2y+\pi x=16\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=16-2x-\pi x\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{16-2x-\pi x}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow y=8-x-\dfrac{\pi x}{2}

As we have to find the value of x so that the greatest possible amount of light is admitted, so we have to calculate the maximum area for which the perimeter is 16 ft.

\text{Area of the window}=\text{Area of the rectangle + Area of the semi-circle}

So,

A=(2x\times y)+(\dfrac{\pi x^2}{2})

Putting the value of y in terms of x,

\Rightarrow A=2x(8-x-\dfrac{\pi x}{2})+\dfrac{\pi x^2}{2}

\Rightarrow A=16x-2x^2-\pi x^2+\dfrac{\pi x^2}{2}

\Rightarrow A=16x-2x^2-\dfrac{\pi x^2}{2}

\Rightarrow A'=16-4x-\pi x

Now, equating the first derivative of A to 0,

\Rightarrow A'=0

\Rightarrow 16-4x-\pi x=0

\Rightarrow 16-x(4+\pi)=0

\Rightarrow x(4+\pi)=16

\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16}{4+\pi}

\Rightarrow x\approx 2.24

Therefore, for x= 2.24, greatest possible amount of light will be admitted.

If the perimeter of the window is 16 ft, the value of x is 8,4 ft * 4,2 ft, so that the greatest possible amount of light is admitted.

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Semicircle is a one-dimensional locus of points that forms half of a circle. The full arc of a semicircle always measured as 180°. Whereas a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles.

The greatest possible amount of light will be admitted if the are of the window is maximum.

Let x denote as half the width of rectangle, therefore x is the radius of semicircle and let y as the height of the rectangle.

Window perimeter

2x+2y+\frac{1}{2} (2x\pi) = 2y + (2+\pi)x

Therefore  

30 = 2y+(2+\pi)x

y=\frac{30-(2+\pi)x}{2} =15-(1+\frac{\pi}{2})x

Window area is

A = area of rectangle + area of semicircle

A = (2x)y+\frac{1}{2} (\pi x^2)

Then by substitute the value of y we get

A(x)=2x[15-(1+\frac{\pi}{2})x] + \frac{\pi x^2}{2} \\A(x)=30x-2x(1+\frac{\pi}{2})x + \frac{\pi x^2}{2} \\A(x)=30x-2x^2-\pi x^2+ \frac{\pi x^2}{2}  \\A(x)=30x-(2+\frac{\pi }{2})x^2

We need maximizing A(x) to find x value, for which it is maximum. Therefore we will equate the A'(x) is equal to zero.

A'(x) = 30-2(2+\frac{\pi }{2} ) x = 30-(4+ \pi)x\\A'(x)=0 \\30-(4+ \pi) x = 0\\30 = (4+ \pi)x\\x = \frac{30}{4+ \pi} = 4.2\\

The condition of domain are x>0, y>0, and A(x)>0

Therefore the domain is x E (0,\frac{15}{1+\frac{\pi}{2} } )

We will find the value of A at x=0, x = \frac{15}{1+\frac{\pi}{2} } and x = \frac{30}{4+\pi}

We find that A(0) = 0

A(\frac{30}{4+\pi} ) = A(4,2) = 63\\A(\frac{15}{1+\frac{\pi}{2} } ) =53.5\\

Window area is maximum when x = \frac{30}{4+ \pi}

When x = \frac{30}{4+ \pi}, by using Eqn(1)y = 15-(1+\frac{\pi}{2} )*(\frac{30}{4+\pi} ) = \frac{30}{4+\pi}

Therefore maximum light is admitted through the window.

When radius of semi-circular part is \frac{30}{4+\pi} = 4.2 ft

Therefore the dimensions of the rectangular part of the window are 8,4 ft * 4,2 ft

Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the following sequence. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary
AlexFokin [52]

The sum of the first 8 terms is 2.51 to the nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

In the geometric sequence there is a constant ratio between each two consecutive terms

The formula of the sum of n terms of a geometric sequence is:

S_{n}=\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r} , where

  • a is the first term
  • r is the constant ratio between the consecutive terms

∵ The sequence is 6 , -5 , 25/6 , .............

∵ -5 ÷ 6 = \frac{-5}{6}

∵ \frac{25}{6} ÷ -5 = \frac{-5}{6}

- There is a constant ratio between the consecutive terms

∴ The sequence is a geometric sequence

∵ The first term is 6

∴ a = 6

∵ The constant ratio is \frac{-5}{6}

∴ r =  \frac{-5}{6}

∵ We need to find the sum of 8 terms

∴ n = 8

- Substitute the values of a, r and n in the rule above

∴ S_{8}=\frac{6[1-(\frac{-5}{6})^{8}]}{1-(\frac{-5}{6})}

∴ S_{8}=2.511595508

- Round it to the nearest hundredth

∴ S_{8}=2.51

The sum of the first 8 terms is 2.51 to the nearest hundredth

In triangle ABC AB is equals to AB and Angle B equal to 80 find the angle A​
insens350 [35]

Answer:

∠A = 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Line AB equal to line AC

So, we can say that;

∠B = ∠C

So

∠B = ∠C = 80°

Using angle sum rule

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

∠A + 80° + 80° = 180°

∠A = 20°
