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

Answer:

Well.. its already in standard form..  

but even if u want u can write it as 8 X 10^(-1)    

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is used for quite big decimal numbers  

like : 0.2356  

We can write it as 2.4 X 10^(-1)

well, we know the ceiling is 6+2/3 high, and Eduardo has 4+1/2 yards only, how much more does he need, well, is simply their difference, let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract.

\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{20}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{20}{3}-\cfrac{9}{2}\implies \stackrel{using ~~\stackrel{LCD}{6}}{\cfrac{(2\cdot 20)-(3\cdot 9)}{6}}\implies \cfrac{40-27}{6}\implies \cfrac{13}{6}\implies\blacktriangleright 2\frac{1}{6} \blacktriangleleft

Kyle spends an equal amount of money each day. After 4 days, he had 4/5 of his money left. After another 10 days he had $30 left
Elden [556K]
4 days spending equal amounts so if x is how much he spends per day and y is the original amount then 4x=1/5y bc he has 4/5 left meaning what he spent was 1/5 of the original and after 10 more days which was 14 total he spent all but 30 so the total minus 30 will be how much kyle spent so
14x=y-30 which is y=(14x+30) and substitute that in for y in 4x=1/5y so 4x=1/5 (14x+30)
20x=14x+30
6x=30
x=5 and plug that in either of the original equations 4(5)=1/5y
y=100
so he had $100 and spent $5 per day
