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

For a sample of n = 30 scores, X = 45 corresponds to z = 1.50 and X = 40 corresponds to z = +1.00. What are the values for the s
Ber [7]

Answer:

Sample mean = 30

Standard deviation = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A system with two linear equations can be modeled with the information given in order to find the sample mean (M) and the standard deviation (s):

z=\frac{X-M}{s}\\\\1.50=\frac{45-M}{s} \\1.00=\frac{40-M}{s}

Solving the linear system:

40-M = \frac{45-M}{1.5}\\M=\frac{15}{0.5}\\M=30\\\\s=\frac{45-30}{1.5}\\s=10

The sample mean is 30 while the standard deviation is 10.

A wheel has a radius of 3 feet. how far will you he wheel travel in 5 rotations
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

94.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We take 3 feet times two and we get 6 feet. We then take 6 feet times 3.14 and we get 18.84 feet. Then we take 3 feet times 5 full rotations and we get an answer of 94.2 feet.

A regular hexagon has a radius of 20in what is the approximate area of the hexagon
lorasvet [3.4K]
Let
AH---------------------> area of the regular hexagon
we know that
AH is equal to 6 areas of equilateral triangles (A):
AH = 6A
A= √3 * r²/4 (area of equilateral triangle)
r=20 in
then
A=√3 * 20²/4=100√3 in²
AH = 6*[100√3]=1039.23 in²

the answer is 1039.23 in²
