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

What number do you divide each side of the equation by to solve for g? 3g = 36
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to effectively simplify, you need to divide the side with the variable by a number that is less than or equal to the number. 3 goes into 36 twelve times.

3g = 36.

3g/3 = g

36/3 = 12

g = 12 when divided by 3.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

f=  x^2+4x−12 /x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Divide both sides by x.

fx /x  =  x^2+4x−12 /x

f=  x^2+4x−12 /x
