A right triangle has one vertex on the graph of y = 9 - x^2 , x > 0, at ( x , y ), another at the origin, and the third on th

e positive x-axis at ( x , 0 ).
a. Express the area, A, as a function of x.

b. What is the domain of A?

c. What is the area when x = 2?

d. Use your graphing calculator to find the value of x that will maximize the area. What is the maximum area?

Answer:

  a.  A(x) = (1/2)x(9 -x^2)

  b.  x > 0 . . . or . . . 0 < x < 3 (see below)

  c.  A(2) = 5

  d.  x = √3; A(√3) = 3√3

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The area is computed in the usual way, as half the product of the base and height of the triangle. Here, the base is x, and the height is y, so the area is ...

  A(x) = (1/2)(x)(y)

  A(x) = (1/2)(x)(9-x^2)

__

b. The problem statement defines two of the triangle vertices only for x > 0. However, we note that for x > 3, the y-coordinate of one of the vertices is negative. Straightforward application of the area formula in Part A will result in negative areas for x > 3, so a reasonable domain might be (0, 3).

On the other hand, the geometrical concept of a line segment and of a triangle does not admit negative line lengths. Hence the area for a triangle with its vertex below the x-axis (green in the figure) will also be considered to be positive. In that event, the domain of A(x) = (1/2)(x)|9 -x^2| will be (0, ∞).

__

c. A(2) = (1/2)(2)(9 -2^2) = 5

The area is 5 when x=2.

__

d. On the interval (0, 3), the value of x that maximizes area is x=√3. If we consider the domain to be all positive real numbers, then there is no maximum area (blue dashed curve on the graph).

Answer:

$100.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound Interest Formula:

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100})^{t}

=> A = 100 x ( 1 + \frac{0.4}{100})^1 = 100.4 (If they asked ... interest rate ... per year, if not then depends - most likely to be days and therefore you will need to change 1 year = 365 days and you will also need to change 1 in the formula above to 365, then you will get the right ans)

How many 5-minute calls can you make if your phone plan gives you 200 minutes per month?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simply make 200/5 = 40 5 minute calls per month.

This works because every call is a 5-minute call.  So then we just have to find how many times we can make a 5-minute call up to 200 minutes.  We already have an operation for this: Division.  This acts as the opposite of multiplication and speeds our process up.

Can someone please help me with this problem?
adoni [48]

Answer:

1120 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the ice cube = B * h

B = 20 cm^2

h = 4 cm

Volume = 20 * 4 = 80 cm^3

This volume is for one cube holder in the tray.

There are  7 * 2 such holders

There are 14 holders

Total volume of the holders =

14 * 80 =

1120 cubic cm
