Answer:
Side lengths = 1.68 ft and width = 3.36 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side lengths of the window be L and the width = 2r ( r is also the radius of the semi-circle).
So we have
Perimeter = 2L + 2r + πr = 12
Area = 2rL + 0.5πr^2
From the first equation
2L = 12 - 2r - πr
Substitute for 2L in the equation for the area:
A = r(12 - 2r - πr) + 0.5πr^2
A = 12r - 2r^2 - πr^2 + 0.5πr^2
A = 12r - 2r^2 - 0.5πr^2
We need to find r for the maximum area:
Finding the derivative and equating to zero:
A' = 12 - 4r - πr = 0=
4r + πr = 12
r = 12 / ( 4 + π)
r = 1.68 ft.
So the width of the window = 2 * 1.68 = 3.36 ft.
Now 2L = 12 - 2r - πr
= 12 - 2*1.68 - 1.68π
= 3.36
L = 1.68.
Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^3 (x^2 - 4) = 0
Split into two equations:
x^3 = 0 or x^2 - 4 = 0
Take cube roots of both sides:
x = 0 or x^2 - 4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides:
x = 0 or x^2 = 4
Take the square root of both sides:
Answer: x = 0 or x = 2 or x = -2
