Answer:

132.233 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width of the rectangle 'w' and the length 'x'. So the area of the semicircle is:

A_1 = \pi*radius^2/2

A_1 = \pi*(w/2)^2/2

A_1 = \pi/8*w^2

And the area of the rectangle is:

A_2 = w*x

If the perimeter of the window is 41 feet, we have:

Perimeter = length + 2*width + \pi*radius

41 = x + 2*w + \pi*w/2

x = 41 - w(2 + \pi/2)

Now, the equation for the total area of the window is:

A = A_1 + A_2 = \pi/8*w^2 + w*x

A = \pi/8*w^2 + w*(41 - w(2 + \pi/2))

A = (\pi/8-2 - \pi/2)*w^2 + 41w = -3.1781w^2 + 41w

To find the maximum area, we can find the x-coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic equation:

x\_vertex = -b / 2a = -41 / (-3.1781*2) = 6.45

So the width that gives us the maximum area of the window is 6.45 feet, and the area will be:

A = -3.1781w^2 + 41w = -3.1781*(6.45)^2 + 41*6.45 = 132.233\ ft^2

stich3 [128]

Answer:

<em>He bought 6 hotdogs and 2 drinks</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Kevin and his children went into a restaurant and bought $31.50 worth of hotdogs and drinks. Each hotdog costs $4.50 and each drink costs $2.25.

To solve the system of equations, we'll call the variables:

x = number of hotdogs

y = number of drinks

The first condition yields the equation:

4.50x + 2.25y = 31.50          [1]

It's also known he bought 3 times as many hotdogs as drinks, thus:

x = 3y         [2}

Substituting [2] in [1]:

4.50(3y) + 2.25y = 31.50

Operating:

13.5y + 2.25y = 31.50

15.75y = 31.50

y = 31.50/15.75

y = 2

And

x = 3*2 = 6

He bought 6 hotdogs and 2 drinks

The answer is D. y=2/3x

 If you take the coordinates of each points of the line, (-3, -2) and (3, 2) and use the formula to find the slope, then putting it into formula of a line, you get

y= \frac{2}{3}x
