1. Find the equation of the line AB. For reference, the answer is y=(-2/3)x+2.
2. Derive a formula for the area of the shaded rectange. It is A=xy (where x is the length and y is the height).
3. Replace "y" in A=xy with the formula for y: y= (-2/3)x+2:
A=x[(-2/3)x+2] This is a formula for Area A in terms of x only.
4. Since we want to maximize the shaded area, we take the derivative with respect to x of A=x[(-2/3)x+2] , or, equivalently, A=(-2/3)x^2 + 2x.
This results in (dA/dx) = (-4/3)x + 2.
5. Set this result = to 0 and solve for the critical value:
(dA/dx) = (-4/3)x + 2=0, or (4/3)x=2 This results in x=(3/4)(2)=3/2
6. Verify that this critical value x=3/2 does indeed maximize the area function.
7. Determine the area of the shaded rectangle for x=3/2, using the previously-derived formula A=(-2/3)x^2 + 2x.
The result is the max. area of the shaded rectangle.
Answer(s):
If you are asking for the equation, it's 9(x+4)=2
However, if you're asking for the value of x as well, it's -34/9
Step by Step:
1) First we must find the equation. In your question, the unknown number is x. Therefore we can know that "the sum of a number and 4" is (x+4). Since we are multiplying this sum by 9, we can put the 9 in front of this expression to multiply it--getting 9(x+4). And since we know it "is 2" we can say that 9(x+4)=2.
2) Now, we have to solve the equation, 9(x+4) = 2
3) We can start by distributing, 9x+36 = 2
4) Now let's move 36 to the right by subtracting from both sides, 9x = -34
5) To isolate x, let's divide both sides by 9, x = -34/9
6) Our fraction answer can't be simplified, so we get x = -34/9
Answer: 6
explanation:
set up proportions
(4+2)/9 = 4/x
6/9 = 4/x
simplify
2/3 = 4/x
cross multiply
2x = 12
divide
x = 6
Answer:
m<AIR = 90 deg
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume the problem contains an error, and that AR is a diameter, not AC.
Look at the diameter of the circle, AR. It passes through the center of the circle, C. You can think of the two radii of the circle, CR and CA, as sides of angle RCA. Since AR is a diameter, and AR is a segment which is part of line AR, rays CR and CA are sides of an angle that lie on a line. That makes the measure of angle RCA 180 deg. Angle RCA is a central angle of circle C since its vertex is the center of the circle.
Angle AIR is an inscribed angle in circle C since its vertex is on the circle itself. If an inscribed angle and a central angle intercept the circle at the same two points, then the measure of the inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle.
m<AIR = (1/2)m<RCA = (1/2) * 180 = 90
m<AIR = 90 deg
Answer:
The probability of randomly selecting a rod that is shorter than 22 cm
P(X<22) = 0.1251
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-
Given mean of the Population = 25cm
Given standard deviation of the Population = 2.60
Let 'x' be the random variable in normal distribution
Given x=22
<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-
The probability of randomly selecting a rod that is shorter than 22 cm
P(X<22) = P( Z<-1.15)
= 1-P(Z>1.15)
= 1-( 0.5+A(1.15)
= 0.5 - A(1.15)
= 0.5 - 0.3749
= 0.1251
The probability of randomly selecting a rod that is shorter than 22 cm
P(X<22) = 0.1251
