Answer: Jane's height = $51\dfrac{1}{20}\text{ inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Lisa's height = $53\dfrac34\text{ inches}=\dfrac{4\times53+3}{4}\text{ inches}$

$=\dfrac{215}{4}\text{ inches}$

Joey's height = $\dfrac{215}4-1\dfrac12$ inches

$=\dfrac{215}4-\dfrac32\\\\=\dfrac{215-6}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{209}{4}\text{ inches}$

Jane's height = $\dfrac{209}{4}-1\dfrac15$ inches

$=\dfrac{209}{4}-\dfrac{6}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{209\times5-6\times4}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{1045-24}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{1021}{20}\\\\=51\dfrac{1}{20}\text{ inches}$

Hence, Jane's height = $51\dfrac{1}{20}\text{ inches}$

A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola y=2−x2. What are the dimensions of su

Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola

$y=2-x^2$

the parabola is open down with vertex at (0,2)

We can find that the rectangle also will be symmetrical about y axis.

Let the vertices on x axis by (p,0) and (-p,0)

Then other two vertices would be (p,2-p^2) (-p,2-p^2) because the vertices lie on the parabola and satisfy the parabola equation

Now width = $2-p^2$

Area = l*w = $2(2p-p^3)$

Use derivative test

I derivative = $2(2-3p^2)$

II derivative = $-12p$

Equate I derivative to 0 and consider positive value only since we want maximum

p = $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }$

Thus width= $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }$

Length = $2\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }$

Width = $2-2/3 = 4/3$
