Answer:

A 12 in diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be the radius and \theta be the angle of a circle.

According with the graph, the area of the sector is given by

A=\frac{1}{2}r^2\theta

The arc lenght of a circle with radius r and angle \theta is r \theta

The perimeter of the pizza slice is composed of two straight pieces, each of length r inches, and an arc of the circle which you know has length s = rθ inches. Thus the perimeter has length

2r+r\theta=24 \:in

We need to express the area as a function of one variable, to do this we use the above equation and we solve for \theta

2r+r\theta=24\\r\theta=24-2r\\\theta=\frac{24-2r}{r}

Next, we substitute this equation into the area equation

A=\frac{1}{2}r^2(\frac{24-2r}{r})\\A=\frac{1}{2}r(24-2r)\\A=12r-r^2

The domain of the area is

0

To find the diameter of pizza that will reward you with the largest slice you need to find the derivative of the area and set it equal to zero to find the critical points.

\frac{d}{dr} A=\frac{d}{dr}(12r-r^2)\\A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr}(12r)-\frac{d}{dr}(r^2)\\A'(r)=12-2r

12-2r=0\\-2r=-12\\\frac{-2r}{-2}=\frac{-12}{-2}\\r=6

To check if r=6 is a maximum we use the Second Derivative test

if f'(c)=0 and f''(c), then f(x) has a local maximum at x = c.

The second derivative is

\frac{d}{dr} A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr} (12-2r)\\A''(r)=-2

Because A''(r)=-2 the largest slice is when r = 6 in.

The diameter of the pizza is given by

D=2r=2\cdot 6=12 \:in

A 12 in diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.

Solve the quadratic equation 4x2 − 121 = 0. Verify your answer using a difference-of-squares factoring method.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Option d) is correct

That is x equals plus or minus start fraction 11 over two end fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Given quadratic equation is 4x^2-121=0

To write the given quadratic equation by using a difference-of-squares factoring method:

4x^2-121=0

The above equation can be written as

4x^2-11^2=0

(2x)^2-11^2=0

The above equation is in the form of difference-of-squares

Therefore the given quadratic equation can be written in the form of difference-of-squares

by factoring method is (2x)^2-11^2=0

(2x+11)(2x-11)=0 (which is in the form a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b) )

2x+11=0   or   2x-11=0

x=\frac{-11}{2}    or   2x=11

x=\frac{-11}{2}    or   x=\frac{11}{2}

x=\pm \frac{11}{2}

Therefore option d) is correct

That is x equals plus or minus start fraction 11 over two end fraction
