<span>dA/dx = 100 - 4x & the 2nd derivative is -4 [i.e. -ve] 
so setting dA/dx to zero will give a maxima 

100 - 4x = 0 
so x = 25 m 

in other words, a rectangle with a given perimeter has the maximum area when it is a square</span>

A rock drops from a height of 60m. how long does it take for it to hit the ground?
laila [671]

To solve for the time an object takes to hit the ground, the equation

<em>y</em> <em>= y₀ + v₀t + ½gt²</em>, or just <em>0 = y₀ +½gt²</em> since there is no initial velocity and the final y position is 0 (since it is on the ground). Therefore, <em>t = (−2y₀/g)^½.</em>

(-2*60/-9.8)^½ = 3.50 seconds.

the congruent sides of an isosceles triangle are each one unit longer than the length of the shortest side of the triangle the p
vazorg [7]

Let s represent the short side of the triangle. The long sides of the triangle are each s+1, and the triangle's perimeter is

... s + (s+1) + (s+1) = 3s+2

The length of one side of the square is s-2, and its perimeter is 4 times that, 4(s-2) = 4s-8. The square and triangle have the same perimeter, so

... 3s+2 = 4s-8

... 10 = s . . . . . . . . add 8-3s to both sides

The length of the shorter side of the triange is 10 units.

Use your graphing calculator to find the value of f ′(1) for f(x) = x2 + Ln(x).
Maslowich
That is the slope at f(1)

one way is to just take the derivitive

f'(x)=2x+(1/x)

for ti-89, do calc then derivitive then input "x^2+ln(x),x)" and click enter to get the derivitive
you would get f'(x)=2x+(1/x)
an easier way would be to have

click calc then differntiate then type x^2+ln(x),x)|x=1 then click enter
you get f'(1)=3

answer is 3
