A rectangle is to be inscribed in an isosceles right triangle in such a way that one vertex of the rectangle is the intersection

point of the legs of the triangle and the opposite vertex lies on the hypotenuse. Find the largest area (in cm 2 ) of the rectangle and its dimensions (in cm) given that the two equal legs of the triangle have length 4.

Answer:

x  =  2  cm

y  = 2  cm

A(max) =  4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: See Annex

The right isosceles triangle has two 45° angles and the right angle.

tan 45°  =  1  =  x / 4 - y        or     x  =  4  -  y     y  =  4  -  x

A(r)  =  x* y

Area of the rectangle as a function of x

A(x)  =  x  *  (  4  -  x )       A(x)  =  4*x  -  x²

Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation:

A´(x)  =  4 - 2*x             A´(x)  =  0            4   -  2*x  =  0

2*x  =  4

x  =  2  cm

And  y  =  4  - 2  =  2  cm

The rectangle of maximum area result to be a square of side 2 cm

A(max)  = 2*2  =  4 cm²

To find out if A(x) has a maximum in the point  x  =  2

We get the second derivative

A´´(x)  =  -2           A´´(x)  <  0   then A(x) has a maximum at  x = 2

Is x = 1 a function?​
GaryK [48]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is an equation for which any  x value matches with  exactly one  y value .

x=1 matches with any y answer (as y is not included in the equation), so it is not a function.

**This question involves the definition of functions, which you may wish to revise. I'm always happy to help!

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) There is no figure 0.

b) From one figure to the other there are 2 more cubes

c) Number of cubes = 3 + 2(n- 1)

where n is the number of figure

d)

Number of cubes in figure 100 = 3 + 2(100 - 1)

                                                   = 3 + 2(99)

                                                   = 3 + 198

                                                  = 201
