The base length that will maximize the area for such a window is 168.03 cm. The exact largest value of x when this occurs is 233.39 cm

Suppose we make an assumption that:

  • (x) should be the width of the rectangle base;
  • (h) should be the height of the rectangle

Also, provided that the diameter of the semi-circle appears to be the base of the rectangle, then;

  • the radius  \mathbf{r = \dfrac{x}{2}}  

and, the perimeter of the window can now be expressed as:

\mathbf{x + 2h + \pi r = x + 2h + \dfrac{\pi x }{2}}

\mathbf{= \Big ( 1 + \dfrac{\pi}{2}\Big) x + 2h}

Given that the perimeter = 600 cm

∴

\mathbf{ \Big ( 1 + \dfrac{\pi}{2}\Big) x + 2h= 600}

\mathbf{  h = 300 - \Big( \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{4}\Big) x}

Since h > 0, then:

\mathbf{  h = 300 - \Big( \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{4}\Big) x>0}

By rearrangement and using the inverse rule:

\mathbf{  x<  \dfrac{ 300}{\Big( \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{4}\Big) } }

\mathbf{  x=  \dfrac{ 1200}{\Big( 2 +\pi \Big) } }

\mathbf{  x=  233.39 \ cm }

Thus, the largest length x = 233.39 cm

However, the area of the window is given as:

\mathbf{A(x) = xh + \dfrac{1}{2} \pi r^2}

\mathbf{A = x \Big [  300 - \Big ( \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{4} \Big) x \Big ]  +\dfrac{1}{2}\pi \Big(\dfrac{x}{2} \Big )^2}

\mathbf{A (x) = 300x - \Big( \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{8}\Big) x^2 \ cm^2}

Now, at maximum, when the area A = 0. Taking the differentiation, we have:

\mathbf{\dfrac{d}{dx} 300x - \dfrac{d}{dx} \Big( \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{8}\Big) x^2 \ =0}

\mathbf{ 300 - 2x \Big( \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{8}\Big)  \ =0}

Making x the subject of the formula, we have:

\mathbf{x = \dfrac{1200}{4 +\pi}}

x = 168.03 cm

Taking the second derivative:

\mathbf{\dfrac{d}{dx} \Big [300 -2x \Big( \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{8}\Big) \Big]}

\mathbf{= -2 \Big( \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\pi}{8}\Big )

Therefore, we can conclude that the maximum area that exists for such a window is 168.03 cm

How do you do this question?
quester [9]

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = ∫ₐˣ t⁷ dt

F(x) is the area under f(t) between t=a and t=x.  When x=a, the width of the interval is 0, so the area is zero.

F(6) = 0, so a = 6.

F(x) = ∫₆ˣ t⁷ dt

F(6) = ∫₆⁶ t⁷ dt

F(6) = 0

Answer:

119.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mean (m) = 100 years

Standard deviation (sd) = 15 years

closest to the age of a Galápagos Islands giant tortoise at the 90th percentile of the

distribution?

Obtain the Zscore for 90th percentile (0.90) on the z table = 1.28

Zscore = (X - mean) / standard deviation

1.28 = (X - 100) / 15

1.28 × 15 = X - 100

19.2 = X - 100

19.2 + 100 = X

X = 119.2
