Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangle is constructed with its base on the x axis and two of its vertices on the parabola

y=100-x^2

This parabola has vertex at (0,100) and symmetrical about y axis.

Any general point above x axis can be written as (a,b) (-a,b) since symmetrical about yaxis.  

Hence coordinates of any rectangle are

(a,0) (-a,0), (a, 100-a^2), (-a, 100-a^2)

Length of rectangle = 2a and width = 100-a^2

Area of rectangle = lw = 2a(100-a^2)=200a-400a^3

To find max area, use derivative test.

A' = 200-800a^2\\A"=-1600a

Hence maxima when first derivative =0

i.e. when a =2

Thus we find dimensions of the rectangle are l =4 and w = 96

Maximum area = 4(96) = 384

First you find how much the shape has dilated. To d ok that you divide the size of the size already given to you from the bigger shape from the same did if the smaller shape. So 58÷6=9.7. The shape grew by 9.7. To find x you use the similar side of the other shape again and multiy that size by 9.7. So 9.7×3=29.1

x=29.1
