Your math teacher instructed you to draw a square with 16 cm perimeter, she then asked you to connect the midpoints of its side

by line segment to form another square. If this action will continue for each new square, what is the perimeter of the 5th square?​

We want to find the perimeter of the fifth square in the given sequence.

The perimeter of the fifth square is 1cm.

<em>Let's see how to get that:</em>

The perimeter of the first square is 16cm.

Remember that the perimeter of a square of side length S is:

P = 4*S

Then the side length of the first square is given by:

16cm = 4*S

16cm/4 = S = 4cm

Then she connects the midpoints of the sides to form another square (actually<u> four equal squares</u>).

The midpoint would be at half of the side length of the square, then the side length of the new squares is 4cm/2 = 2cm.

For the third square, the side length is divided by two again, to get 2cm/2 = 1cm

For the fourth square this happens again: 1cm/2 = 0.5cm

For the fift square this happens again: 0.5cm/2 = 0.25cm

Then we have a square of side length equal to 0.25cm, the perimeter will be:

p' = 4*0.25cm = 1cm

The perimeter of the fifth square is 1cm.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A is f ", B is f, C is f '.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your answer is correct.  B is the original function f.  It has a local maximum at x=0, and local minimums at approximately x=-3/2 and x=3/2.

C is the first derivative.  It crosses the x-axis at each place where B is a min or max.  C itself has a local maximum at approximately x=-3/4 and a local minimum at approximately x=3/4.

Finally, A is the second derivative.  It crosses the x-axis at each place where C is a min or max.
