This question is incomplete, the remaining part of the question is upload as an image alongside this answer.

Answer:

Width = 2x = 2( r/√2 ) =  √2 r units

Height = 2y = 2( r/√2 ) =  √2 r units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Figure on the image; lets consider the circle of radius r, centered at the origin.  

let ABCD be the largest rectangle that can be inscribed inside the circle.  

Let the half width of the rectangle be x, then in right triangle ONB using Pythagorean theorem,  

half height of rectangle y = √(r² - x²)

Thus the width of the inscribed rectangle = 2x and height of the inscribed rectangle = 2√(r² - x²)

thus the area of the inscribed rectangle = length × width

⇒ A(x) = 2x(2√(r² - x²))

⇒ A(x) = 4x√(r² - x²)  

now in order to maximize the area, we find critical points.

so we find the derivative and set that zero, that is Ai(x) = 0.

so using product rule, we get

A'(x) = 4x × ( -2x / 2√(r² - x²) ) + ( 4 × √(r² - x²)  )

A'(x) = ( -4x² / √(r² - x²) ) + ( 4√(r² - x²)  )

Now for critical points, set A'(x) = 0

so

( -4x² / √(r² - x²) ) + ( 4√(r² - x²)  ) = 0

( 4x² / √(r² - x²) ) =  ( 4√(r² - x²)  )

x² = r² - x²

2x² = r²

x² = r²/2

x = ±√(r²/2)

Now since x represent the with, it cannot be negative, Thus

x = r/√2

hence

y = √(r² - x²) = √(r² -  r²/2) = √(r²/2) =  r/√2

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle of largest area will be;

Width = 2x = 2( r/√2 ) =  √2 r units

Height = 2y = 2( r/√2 ) =  √2 r units

Answer: 18+36=$54

Step-by-step explanation: The first week that she was sick, she walked dogs 2 times, meaning she would earn $18 (2*9=18).

The second week when she walked dogs 4 times, she'd earn $36 (4*9=36).

Draw a visual model to solve 3/8 × 8/11​
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(3/8)*(8/11)=(3*8)/(8*11)= 24/88=12/44=6/22=3/11

or you can symplify 8 and get 3/11 right away.

Please help.<br> Is algebra.
Dvinal [7]

Answers:

  • Blank 1:  4
  • Blank 2:  -1

So the solution is (x,y) = (4, -1)

=============================================================

Work Shown:

6x + 7y = 17

6x + 7( y ) = 17

6x + 7( -3x+11 ) = 17 ... replace every copy of y with -3x+11

6x - 21x + 77 = 17

-15x = 17-77

-15x = -60

x = -60/(-15)

x = 4

We'll use this x value to find y

y = -3x+11

y = -3(4)+11 ... replace x with 4

y = -12+11

y = -1

We have  x = 4 and y = -1 pair up together to give us the solution (x,y) = (4, -1)

------------------------

To check the solution, we plug x = 4 and y = -1 into each equation

Plugging the values into the first equation leads to...

y = -3x+11

-1 = -3(4)+11

-1 = -1

This is effectively already done in the last part of the previous section. But it doesn't hurt to verify like this regardless.

We'll need to verify the second equation as well.

6x + 7y = 17

6(4) + 7(-1) = 17

24 - 7 = 17

17 = 17

We get a true equation, so the solution is confirmed with both equations. Overall, the solution to the system of equations is confirmed. This system is independent and consistent.
