$x-\ length\\
y-\ width\\\\
x+0.3=2y\ \ \ \ \ | subtract\ 0.3\\x=2y-0.3\\
perimeter=2x+2y\\ 2x+2y-14.4=y\\\\
2*(2y-0.3)+2y-14.4=y\\
4y-0.6+2y-14.4=y\\
6y-15=y\ \ \ | add\ 15\\
6y=15+y\ \ | subtract\ y\\
5y=15\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 5\\
y=3\\
x=2y-0.3=2*3-0.3=6-0.3=5.7\\\\
Dimensions:\ length=5.7\ feet\, width=3\ feet.$

The area of a rectangle whose perimeter is a fixed 80 feet is given by A=40w - w2 , where w is the width of the rectangle. Deter

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Width=20 feet

Since Length=Width=20 feet, the rectangle is a Square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area, $A=40w - w^2$

To determine the width of the rectangle that gives the maximum area, we take the derivative of A and solve for its critical point.

$A'=40 - 2w\\$When A'=0\\40-2w=0\\40=2w\\w=20 feet$

The width of the rectangle that gives the maximum area =20 feet.

Perimeter of a rectangle=2(l+w)

Perimeter of the rectangle=80 feet

2(l+w)=80

2l+2(20)=80

2l=80-40

2l=40

l=20 feet

Since the length and width are equal, the special type of rectangle that produces this maximum area is a Square.

If x = a cosθ and y = b sinθ , find second derivative

Olin [163]

I'm guessing the second derivative is for <em>y</em> with respect to <em>x</em>, i.e.

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}$

Compute the first derivative. By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}\dfrac{\mathrm d\theta}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}}$

We have

$y=b\sin\theta\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}=b\cos\theta$

$x=a\cos\theta\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}=-a\sin\theta$

and so

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{b\cos\theta}{-a\sin\theta}=-\dfrac ba\cot\theta$

Now compute the second derivative. Notice that $\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ is a function of $\theta$ ; so denote it by $f(\theta)$ . Then

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dx}$

By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm d\theta}\dfrac{\mathrm d\theta}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm d\theta}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}}$
