When you cough,the radius of your trachea (windpipe) decreases,affecting the speed S of the air in the trachea. If r0 is the nor

mal radius of the trachea, the relationship between the speed S of the air and the radius r of the trachea during a cough is given by a function of the form
S(r) = (r0 - r) ar^2

where a is positive constant. Find the radius r for which the speed of the air is greatest.

Answer: 2r(0)/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given one Important data or o or parameter in the question above and that is the function of the form which is given below(that is);

S(r) = (r0 - r) ar^2 -----------------------------(1).

We will now have to differentiate S(r) with respect to r, so, check below for the differentiation:

dS/dr = 2ar (r0 - r ) + ar^2 (-1 ) ---------;(2).

dS/dr = 2ar(r0) - 2ar^2 - ar^2.

dS/dr = - 3ar^2 + 2ar(r0) ------------------(3).

Note that dS/dr = 0.

Hence, - 3ar^2 + 2ar(r0) = 0.

Making ra the subject of the formula we have;

ra[ - 3r + 2r(0) ] = 0. -------------------------(4).

Hence, r = 0 and r = 2r(0) / 3.

If we take the second derivative of S(r) too, we will have;

d^2S/dr = -6ar + 2ar(0). -------------------(5).

+ 2ar(0) > 0 for r = 0; and r = 2r(0)/3 which is the greatest.

Answer:

r =\frac{2r_{0}}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to take the derivative of S(r) and equal to zero to maximize the function. In this conditions we will find the radius r for which the speed of the air is greatest.

Let's take the derivative:

\frac{dS}{dr}=a(2r(r_{0}-r)+r^{2}(-1))

\frac{dS}{dr}=a(2r*r_{0}-2r^{2}-r^{2})

\frac{dS}{dr}=a(2r*r_{0}-3r^{2})

\frac{dS}{dr}=ar(2r_{0}-3r)

Let's equal it to zero, to maximize S.

0=ar(2r_{0}-3r)

We will have two solutions:

r = 0

r =\frac{2r_{0}}{3}

Therefore the value of r for which the speed of the air is greatest is r =\frac{2r_{0}}{3}.

I hope it helps you!

I need to know the solution to this
Alex73 [517]
There are two ways to do this but the way I prefer is to make one of the equations in terms of one variable and then 'plug this in' to the second equation. I will demonstrate

Look at equation 1, -2x+y=10 this can quite easily be manipulated to show y=10+2x.

Then because there is a y in the second equation (and both equations are simultaneous) we can 'plug in' our new equation where y is in the second one 4x-y=-14 \Rightarrow 4x-(10+2x)=-14 which can then be solved for x since there is only one variable 4x-10-2x=-14 \Rightarrow 2x=-4 \Rightarrow x=-2 and then with our x solution we can work out our y solution by using the equation we manipulated y=10+2x = 10+(2 \times -2) = 10-4=6.

So the solution to these equations is x=-2 when y=6

The two-column proof below describes the statement and reason for proving that corresponding angles are congruent.
noname [10]
Step 6 wants us to show two angles which are also two interior angles that are located on the same side.

Interior angles are angles that are INSIDE the parallel lines.

On the diagram given, there are two pairs of interior angles that are on the same side:

Angle VQT and angle ZRS
Angle UQT and angle WRS

Two interior angles on the same sides add up to 180°

The missing statement that would fit statement in Step 6 is:
m∠VQT + m∠ZRS = 180°
