A Norman window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle. If the perimeter of the window is 8 ft, find the value of x so that the greatest possible amount of light is admitted.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: x = 2

If x is the width of the window, the value for x that results in the greatest area-- presumably admitting the greatest amount of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial calculations to find a starting value for w.

Determine dimensions that will have a sum of 8 as the perimeter. The length of the arc plus three sides of the rectangle.

The length of the arc is  half the circumference of the circle, the width is the diameter. So, modifying the equation: C= πd,  a = πw/2

Three sides of a rectangle (presumably a square for the initial calculation) 3w

Initial equation: 3w + πw/2 = 8    Substitute 3.14 for π  and solve for w

2(3w) + 2(3.14w/2) = 2(8)   multiply all terms by 2 to eliminate denominator

6w + 3.14w = 16   combine like terms

9.14w  = 16   divide both sides by 9.14

w ≈ 1.75

Calculate the area using this value:

Area of semicircle:  πr²/2   r= 1.75/2  

3.14(.875)²/2 ≈ 1.203

Area of rectangle  1.75 × 1.75 = 3.0625

Total Area with width 1.75  :  4.265 ft²

Increasing the width to 2

The length of the arc becomes 3.14   This is twice the area of the semicircle.

3.14/2 = 1.57

The height of the rectangle reduces to 1.43

1.43 × 2 = 2.86

Total area with width of 2 ft   2.86 + 1.57 = 4.43 ft²

So 2 ft seems to be the optimal width.

an object is thrown upward at a speed of 74 feet per second by a machine from a height of 18 feet off the ground. The height h of the object after t seconds can be found using the equation h=-16t^2+74t+18​

Answers

Answer:

First part:

 

Set h(t) = 73 and solve for t.

 

-16t2 + 64t + 16 = 73

 

-16t2 + 64t - 57 = 0

 

Solve this quadratic equation for t.  You should get 2 positive solutions.  The lower value is the time to reach 73 on the way up, and the higher value is the time to reach 73 again, on the way down.

 

Second part:

 

Set h(t) = 0 and solve the resulting quadratic equation for t.  You should get a negative solution (which you can discard), and a positive solution.  The latter is your answer.

==================================

Work Shown:

P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E and F)

0.55 = 0.40 + P(F) - 0.20

0.55 = P(F) + 0.20

P(F) + 0.20 = 0.55

P(F) = 0.55 - 0.20

P(F) = 0.35

P(E and F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E or F)

A. An arithmetic sequence is a linear function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers.
B. A geometric sequence is a linear function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers.
C. An arithmetic sequence is an exponential function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers.
D. A geometric sequence is an exponential function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers.

Answers

Answer:

A and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is a set of the objects or numbers in a specific order. It is a function whose domain is a set of natural numbers or non-negative integers i.e. {1, 2, 3,..}

(A)

"An arithmetic sequence is a linear function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers."

The general form an arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d[/tex]

The function is linear. The sequence consists of either numbers that are increasing or decreasing based on the value of d, the common difference.

So, the statement provided is True.

(D)

"A geometric sequence is an exponential function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers."

The general form an geometric sequence is:

[tex]a_{n}=a_{1}\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

The function is exponential. The sequence consists of either numbers that are exponentially increasing or decreasing by the factor r, the common ratio.

So, the statement provided is True.

The volleyball team and the wrestling team at Stamford High School are having a joint car wash today,

and they are splitting the revenues. The volleyball team gets $5 per car. In addition, they have already

brought in $50 from past fundraisers. The wrestling team has raised $94 in the past, and they are

making $1 per car today. After washing a certain number of cars together, each team will have raised the

same amount in total. What will that total be? How many cars will that take?

PLEASE SHOW WORK THANK YOU

Answers

Answer:

Money raised by each team = 94 + 11 = $105

Number of cars washed = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Money already present with volleyball team = $50

Money raised by washing each car by volleyball team = $5

Let the number of cars washed = [tex]x[/tex]

Money raised by washing cars = $5[tex]x[/tex]

Money already present with volleyball team = $94

Money raised by washing each car by volleyball team = $1

Money raised by washing cars = $1[tex]x[/tex] = $[tex]x[/tex]

Given that, both the teams have raised same amount of money:

[tex]50+5x=94+x\\\Rightarrow 44=4x\\\Rightarrow x=11[/tex]

Money raised by each team = 94 + 11 = $105

Number of cars washed = 11

W = weight

b = slope of the graph of H on M OR rate of change in M due to change in H

H = horsepower

c = intercept of M on the y-axis OR constant variable
