Answer:

W\approx 8.72 and L\approx 15.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. The total perimeter is 38 feet.

The perimeter of the window will be equal to three sides of rectangle plus half the perimeter of circle. We can represent our given information in an equation as:

2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2\pi r)=38

We can see that diameter of semicircle is W. We know that diameter is twice the radius, so we will get:

2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2r\pi)=38

2L+W+\frac{\pi}{2}W=38

Let us find area of window equation as:

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi r^2)

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi (\frac{W}{2})^2)

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W}{2})^2)

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W^2}{4})

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2

Now, we will solve for L is terms W from perimeter equation as:

L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)

Substitute this value in area equation:

A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2

Since we need the area of window to maximize, so we need to optimize area equation.

A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2  

A=38W-W^2-\frac{\pi }{2}W^2+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2  

Let us find derivative of area equation as:

A'=38-2W-\frac{2\pi }{2}W+\frac{2\pi}{8}W  

A'=38-2W-\pi W+\frac{\pi}{4}W    

A'=38-2W-\frac{4\pi W}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}W

A'=38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}

To find maxima, we will equate first derivative equal to 0 as:

38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=0

-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=-38

\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}=-38

\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}*4=-38*4

-8W-3\pi W=-152

8W+3\pi W=152

W(8+3\pi)=152

W=\frac{152}{8+3\pi}

W=8.723210

W\approx 8.72

Upon substituting W=8.723210 in equation L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W), we will get:

L=38-(8.723210+\frac{\pi }{2}8.723210)

L=38-(8.723210+\frac{8.723210\pi }{2})

L=38-(8.723210+\frac{27.40477245}{2})

L=38-(8.723210+13.70238622)

L=38-(22.42559622)

L=15.57440378

L\approx 15.57

Therefore, the dimensions of the window that will maximize the area would be W\approx 8.72 and L\approx 15.57.

Today only, every sweatshirt is $4.25 less than normal price. Right now if you buy 5 sweatshirts, the total cost will be $106.25
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal price of the sweatshirt will be $21.50 because if you divide $78.75 by 5 you get $15.75 for each sweatshirt then you add the $5.75 with will make the original price $21.50

What is the benefit of using statistical sampling versus nonstatistical sampling?
taurus [48]
<span>Statistical sampling: Uses laws of probability for selection and evaluation of a sample. Allows for quantification of audit risk and sufficiency of audit evidence. Nonstatistical sampling: Does not utilize statistical models in calcualtions. Uses a non-mathematical approach to determine sample sizes and evaluate the selected samples.</span>
