Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.
Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.
Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")
Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.
We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2:
We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures , so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:
Then we multiply this area times 6 to get the total area of the hexagon (6 of these triangles):
Area of hexagon =
which is the last option given in the list.
The inequality that describes the possible values of the expression is:
The expression is given by:
To find the lower bound, we try to see when the expression is negative, hence:
Applying cross multiplication and simplifying the 3's, we have that:
From the bounds given, this expression will never be true, at most they can be equal, when:
a = b = 4.
Hence the lower bound of values of the expression is of 0.
<h3>What is the upper bound of values of the expression?</h3>The expression is a subtraction, hence we want to maximize the first term and minimize the second.
Considering that the first term is direct proportional to b and inverse to a, and the second vice versa, we want to:
- Maximize b, hence b = 5.
- Minimize a, hence a = 4.
Then:
Hence the bounds are:
