We can let the radius of the semi circles be r and x can be the length of the rectangle.
The perimeter will be Perimeter = 2x + 2pr = 1200
The area of the rectangle is Area = x(2r)
 Once we solve the perimeter equation, you get x = 600.
Put this into the area equation and you get Area = (600 - pr)(2r)
The maximum then gives r = 95. 493 and area 57, 295.8
Dimensions

Height is twice the radius or 190.986. Find base use equation x = 600 - p(95.493) = 300.

This means dimensions are 300 by 190.986

. If α and β are the roots of
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

18x^2+85x+18 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given Equation is </em></u>

=> 2x^2+7x-9=0

Comparing it with ax^2+bx+c = 0, we get

=> a = 2, b = 7 and c = -9

So,

Sum of roots = α+β = -\frac{b}{a}

α+β = -7/2

Product of roots = αβ = c/a

αβ = -9/2

<em>Now, Finding the equation whose roots are:</em>

α/β ,β/α

Sum of Roots = \frac{\alpha }{\beta } + \frac{\beta }{\alpha }

Sum of Roots = \frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2  }{\alpha \beta }

Sum of Roots = \frac{(\alpha+\beta )^2-2\alpha\beta   }{\alpha\beta  }

Sum of roots = (\frac{-7}{2} )^2-2(\frac{-9}{2} ) / \frac{-9}{2}

Sum of roots = \frac{49}{4} + 9 /\frac{-9}{2}

Sum of Roots = \frac{49+36}{4} / \frac{-9}{2}

Sum of roots = \frac{85}{4} * \frac{2}{-9}

Sum of roots = S = -\frac{85}{18}

Product of Roots = \frac{\alpha }{\beta } \frac{\beta }{\alpha }

Product of Roots = P = 1

<u><em>The Quadratic Equation is:</em></u>

=> x^2-Sx+P = 0

=> x^2 - (-\frac{85}{18} )x+1 = 0

=> x^2 + \frac{85}{18}x + 1 = 0

=> 18x^2+85x+18 = 0

This is the required quadratic equation.
