The root
can be converted into the power
. Therefore we can rewrite the problem as
and then follow the exponent rules about a power to a power, multiplying 1/2 and 3/4 together.
Thus the problem becomes
, which then can be turned into
![\sqrt[8]{10} ^{3x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B8%5D%7B10%7D%20%5E%7B3x%7D)
, making the last option our answer.
Answer:
the price was reduced by 28%
The dimension that would give the maximum area is 20.8569
<h3>How to solve for the maximum area</h3>
Let the shorter side be = x
Perimeter of the semi-circle is πx
Twice the Length of the longer side
![[70-(\pi )x -x]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B70-%28%5Cpi%20%29x%20-x%5D)
Length = ![[70-(1+\pi )x]/2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B70-%281%2B%5Cpi%20%29x%5D%2F2)
Total area =
area of rectangle + area of the semi-circle.
Total area =
![x[[70-(1+\pi )x]/2] + [(\pi )(x/2)^2]/2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5B%5B70-%281%2B%5Cpi%20%29x%5D%2F2%5D%20%2B%20%5B%28%5Cpi%20%29%28x%2F2%29%5E2%5D%2F2)
When we square it we would have
![70x +[(\pi /4)-(1+\pi)]x^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=70x%20%2B%5B%28%5Cpi%20%2F4%29-%281%2B%5Cpi%29%5Dx%5E2)
This gives
![70x - [3.3562]x^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=70x%20-%20%5B3.3562%5Dx%5E2)
From here we divide by 2
The maximum side would be at
This gives us 20.8569
