A piece of wire 11 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral triangle. (a) How much wire should be used for the square in order to maximize the total area

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can say that the square has a side length of x. The perimeter of the square is 4x, and that is how much wire goes into the square. To maximize the area, we should use all the wire possible, so the remaining wire goes into the triangle, or (11-4x).

The area of the square is x², and the area of an equilateral triangle with side length a is (√3/4)a². Next, 11-4x is equal to the perimeter of the triangle, and since it is equilateral, each side has (11-4x)/3 length. Plugging that in for a, we get the area of the equilateral triangle is

(√3/4)((11-4x)/3)²

= (√3/4)(11/3 - 4x/3)²

= (√3/4)(121/9  - 88x/9 + 16x²/9)

= (16√3/36)x² - (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36)

The total area is then

(16√3/36)x² - (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36) + x²

= (16√3/36 + 1)x² -  (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36)

Because the coefficient for x² is positive, the parabola would open up and the derivative of the parabola would be the local minimum. Therefore, to find the maximum area, we need to go to the absolute minimum/maximum points of x (x=0 or x=2.75)

When x=0, each side of the triangle is 11/3 meters long and its area is

(√3/4)a² ≈ 5.82

When x=2.75, each side of the square is 2.75 meters long and its area is

2.75² = 7.5625

Therefore, a maximum is reached when x=2.75, or the wire used for the square is 2.75 * 4 = 11 meters

Answer 2

The length of the square must be 4 m in order to maximize the total area.

What are the maxima and minima of a function?

When we put the differentiation of the given function as zero and find the value of the variable we get maxima and minima.

We have,

Length of the wire = 11 m

Let the length of the wire bent into a square = x.

The length of the wire bent into an equilateral triangle = (11 - x)

Now,

The perimeter of a square = 4 side

4 side = x

side = x/4

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 side

11 - x = 3 side

side = (11 - x)/3

Area of square = side²

Area of equilateral triangle = (√3/4) side²

Total area:

T = (x/4)² + √3/4 {(11 -x)/3}² _____(1)

Now,

To find the maximum we will differentiate (1)

dT/dx = 0

2x/4 + (√3/4) x 2(11 - x)/3 x -1 = 0

2x / 4 - (√3/4) x 2(11 - x)/3 = 0

2x/4 - (√3/6)(11 - x) = 0

2x / 4 = (√3/6)(11 - x)

√3x = 11 - x

√3x + x = 11

x (√3 + 1) = 11

x = 11 / (1.732 + 1)

x = 11/2.732

x = 4

Thus,

The length of the square must be 4 m in order to maximize the total area.

You decide to go on a 4 day backpacking trip. The first day you walk 8 miles at northeast, on the second day, you walk 4 miles at eastsouth, and on the third day you walk 3 miles at southwest. On the fourth day you need to head straight back to your car. How far do you have to walk, and in what direction

Answers

Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Where the above parameters are given,  you need to walk a distance of approximately √41 miles back to your car.

How to compute the above

To calculate the total distance you need to walk, you can use the Pythagorean theorem since you have a right triangle formed by the north and east displacements.

Distance = √((Distance north)² + (Distance east)²)

= √((5 miles)² + (4 miles)²)

= √(25 miles + 16 miles)

= √41 miles

Hence, you need to walk a distance of  approximately √41 miles back to your car.

As for the direction, based on the net displacements, you are 5 miles north and 4 miles east of your car, so the direction would be a combination of north and east, often referred to as northeast.

You are planning to attend college next year. The total cost of tuition and textbooks is $10,000. If you go to school, your room and board will cost you $5,000. If you did not go to school, however, you would live at home, and your total room and board would only be $1,000. Additionally, if you did not go to college, you would work a job making $20,000 for the year.
1. In terms of room and board alone, what would be opportunity cost of attending college. Be sure to explain your answer
2. What are the explicit costs of attending school? How much should be included for room and board?
3. What would be the implicit cost of attending college next year?
4. What would be the total opportunity cost of attending college next year?

Answers

Opportunity Cost of attending college, in terms of room and board is $4000 . Explicit Cost, Implicit Cost of attending college is $14000, $20000. Total Opportunity Cost of attending college is $34000

1. Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternate foregone, as in value of sacrifice made, while choosing an alternative.

Money foregone to attend college, in room & board = room & board cost with college - room & board cost without college = 5000 - 1000 = 4000

2. Explicit Cost is the actual out of pocket cash expenses outflow, done for choosing an option. Eg : Cash expenditures

In this case, cash expenses for attending college = 14000

3. Implicit Cost is the implied estimated cost of self supplied factors of production, like value of self labour & self owned land etc.

In this case : Value of self labour, sacrificed for attending college, ie the salary which could have earned by doing job meanwhile = 20000

4. Total opportunity cost of attending college = Explicit Cost + Implicit Cost = 14000 + 20000 = 34000

Find the largest positive integer that will divide 542, 436, 398 leaving reminders 7, 11, 15 respectively

Answers

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question for finding the numbers that will divide 398, 436 and 542 leaving remainder 7, 11 and 15 respectively we have to first subtract the remainder of the following. By this step we find the highest common factor of the numbers.

And then the required number is the HCF of the following numbers that are formed when the remainder are subtracted from them.

Clearly, the required number is the HCF of the numbers 398−7=391,436−11=425, and, 542−15=527

We will find the HCF of 391, 425 and 527 by prime factorization method.

391=17×23425=52×17527=17×31

Hence, HCF of 391, 4250 and 527 is 17 because the greatest common factor from all the numbers is 17 only.

So we can say that the largest number that will divide 398, 436 and 542 leaving remainders 7, 11 and 15 respectively is 17.

Note: - whenever we face such a type of question the key concept for solving this question is whenever in the question it is asking about the largest number it divides. You should always think about the highest common factor i.e. HCF. we have to subtract remainder because you have to find a factor that means it should be perfectly divisible so to make divisible we subtract remainder. because remainder is the extra number so on subtracting remainder it becomes divisible.

Answer: coordinates of B are (5,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

let B be (x2,y2)

x1 = -3 y1 = 6

x = 1

y = 2

so

x = (x2 + x1)/2

1 = (x2+(-3))/2

or, 2 = x2 - 3

so, x2 = 5

now

y = (y2+y1)/2

or, 2 = (y2 + 6)/2

or, 4 = y2 + 6

so, y2 = -2

11. A surveyor at point S discovers that the angle between peaks A and B is 3 times as large as the angle
between peaks B and C. The surveyor knows that ZASC is a right angle. Find mzASs and m2BSC.

Answers

The measures of the angles between the peaks are;

m∠BSC = 22.5°

m∠ASB = 67.5°

The reason for arriving at the above angles is as follows:

The known values are;

The location of the surveyor = Point S

The angle between peaks A and B = m∠ASB = 3 times as large as the angle between peaks B and C = 3 × m∠BSC

The measure of angle m∠ASC = A right angle = 90°

Required:

To find m∠ASB and m∠BSC

From the given diagram, we have;

m∠ASC = 90°

m∠ASC = m∠ASB + m∠BSC (angle addition postulate)

m∠ASB = 3 × m∠BSC

∴ m∠ASC = 3 × m∠BSC + m∠BSC = 4 × m∠BSC

m∠ASC = 4 × m∠BSC = 90°

m∠BSC = 90°/4 = 22.5°

m∠BSC = 22.5°

m∠ASB = 3 × m∠BSC

∴ m∠ASB = 3 × 22.5° = 67.5°

m∠ASB = 67.5°
