An artist wants to make an elliptical sign out of a rectangular piece of wood. The wood piece has a length of 60 inches and a width of 40 inches. The artist wants to make the largest elliptical piece possible from the wood.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question doesn't seem complete, but the question is likely to ask for 2 things: the equation of the ellipse and it's foci. So I'll respond to that. Also, the ellipse will be at the center since the artist wants the largest.

Firstly, the equation of an ellipse at the center is given by:

(x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1 where a > b.

Since the artist wants to make the largest ellipse, then the length of the rectangle will be the length of the ellipse, same applies to the width.

Since the length is 60, then a = 60/2 = 30

Since the width is 40, then b = 40/2 = 20

Therefore, the equation of the ellipse is:

(x²/30²) + (y²/20²) = 1

To find the foci we need to know the center and this can be gotten by

c² = a² – b²

c² = 30² – 20² = (30 + 20)(30 – 20) = (50)(10) = 500

c = √(500) = 10√(5).

The foci, since it's at th center would be:

(–10√(5), 0) and (+10√(5), 0)

Answer 2

The largest ellipse that the artist can make on the considered rectangular wooden piece will have area as: [tex]\dfrac{x^2}{900} + \dfrac{y^2}{400} = 1\\[/tex](assuming its major and minor axes lie on x and y axis respectively)

What is the equation of ellipse if its major and minor axis are given?

Suppose that the major axis is of the length 2a units, and that minor axis is of 2b units, then if major axis is on x-axis and minor axis is on y-axis, then the equation of that ellipse would be:
[tex]\dfrac{x^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} =1[/tex]

For this case, as we have rectangular piece of board the maximum ellipse will have it's major axis of length 60 inches, and of minor axis as 40 inches.

Thus, we have:

[tex]a = 60/2 = 30\: \rm inches\\b = 40/2 = 20 \: inches[/tex]

Thus, if the rectangle is placed such that the major axis is on x-axis, and minor axis is on y-axis, then the equation of that ellipse would be:

[tex]\dfrac{x^2}{30^2} + \dfrac{y^2}{20^2} = 1\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{900} + \dfrac{y^2}{400} = 1\\[/tex]

Thus, the largest ellipse that the artist can make on the considered rectangular wooden piece will have area as: [tex]\dfrac{x^2}{900} + \dfrac{y^2}{400} = 1\\[/tex](assuming its major and minor axes lie on x and y axis respectively)

7. You are ordering sweaters from American Eagle. Each sweater costs $25. They also charge a shipping fee of $7. You spent. $132 How many sweaters?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, after reading this problem, let’s highlight some key points. Each sweater costs $25, we can write that down as 25x because will represent the amount of sweaters we buy. But we have a shipping fee of $7, so we will +7 to our highlights. And the total money spent was $132.

So far, we have: 25x + 7 = 132

Let’s subtract the 7 from the 132. Now we have: 25x = 125

Then we can divide by 25 on each side, and get x by itself.

X = 5 sweaters.

BONUS: Let’s replace 5 for our x to prove our answer

25(5) + 7 = 132 >>> 125 + 7 = 132 >>> 132 = 132 :D

There you go!! We buy 5 sweaters from American Eagle..!

The answer would be 80 black marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student chose 10 marbles. 8 of those were black. There are 100 marbles total. Going at this rate, picking 10 at a time, 10x10 is 100. So we would do this 10 times. 8x10 is 80. 2x10 is 20. There are 80 black marbles.

The diagonals of rhombus ABCD intersect at E. Given that m∠CAD=20° and CE=4, find the m∠CDA.

Answers

Answer:

< CDA = 140 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rhombus, the sum of the interior angles is 360 degrees and also the opposite angles are equal i.e <ABC = <CDA and <BAD = <BCD

Given

<CAD = 20 degrees

<BCE = 20 degrees (based on geometry)

<BAD = <CAD + <BCE

<BAD = 20 + 20

<BAD = 40 degrees

Since  <BAD =  <BCD, then  <BCD = 40 degrees

Get <CDA

<CDA + <ABC + <BAD +   <BCD  = 360

<CDA + <CDA + <BAD +   <BCD  = 360

2 < CDA + 40 + 40 = 360

2< CDA + 80 = 360

2< CDA = 360-80

2< CDA = 280

< CDA = 280/2

< CDA = 140 degrees

Given the following functions, find the indicated values.

(a) f(-6) (b) f(0) (c) f(9)
(a) f(- 6) = 2
(b) f(0) =
(c) f(9) =

Answers

Answer:

f(-6) = 32

f(0) = 2

f(9) = -43

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in this question we are given a function all we have to do is to plug in the values that were indicated in the question and find out what value are we going to get as an output of this function. So we just do the following.....

a)

f(-6) = 2 - 5(-6)

f(-6) = 2 - (-30)

f(-6) = 2 + 30

f(-6) = 32

b)

f(0) = 2 - 5(0)

f(0) = 2 - 0

f(0) = 2

c)

f(9) = 2 - 5(9)

f(9) = 2 - 45

f(9) = -43

Find the equation of the straight line which is perpendicular to the straight line 3x+4y=12 such that perpendicular distance from the origin is equal to the perpendicular distance from (3,2) on the given line

Answers

Answer:

3y-4x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

First get the slope of the given line;

Given the equation of the line 3x+4y=12

Rewrite in standard form y = mx+c where m is the slope;

3x+4y=12

4y = -3x + 12

y = -3x/4 + 12/4

y = -3x/4 + 3

Hence the slope of the given line is -3/4

Since the required line is perpendicular to this line, the slope of the required line will be M = -1/(-3/4) = 4/3

Get the equation:

Substitute M = 4/3 and the point (3,2) into the point slope equation of a line as shown;

y-y0 = m(x-x0)

y - 2 = 4/3(x-3)

Cross multiply

3(y-2) = 4(x-3)

3y - 6 = 4x - 12

3y - 4x = -12 + 6

3y-4x = -6

Hence the required equation of the line is 3y-4x = -6

From the diagram, the sum of angle of the straight line BCD is 180°. Hence;

<BCE+<ECF<90 = 180

<BCE+64+90=180

<BCE+154 = 180

<BCE = 180-154

<BCE = 26°

Next is to get x.

The sum of interior angles <BCE and <BEC is equal to exterior angle <ABE

<BCE + <BEC = <ABE

26+x = 3x

Collect like terms

26 =3x-x

26=2x

x = 26/2

x = 13

Hence the value of x is 13

The following steps to solve equation given by join are shown below including the property of numbers applied for each reasons:

4(2a + 3) = -3(a - 1) + 31 - 11a ----› Given

Apply the distributive property to open the parentheses

4*2a + 4*3 = -3*a -3*-1 + 31 - 11a

8a + 12 = -3a + 3 + 31 - 11a ----› Distributive property

Combine like terms together

8a + 12 = 3 + 31 -3a - 11a

8a + 12 = 34 - 14a ---› Combining like terms

Add 14a to both sides

8a + 12 + 14a = 34 - 14a + 14a

22a + 12 = 34 ----› Addition property

Subtract 12 from both sides

22a + 12 - 12 = 34 - 12

22a = 22 ----› subtraction property of equality

Divide both sides by 22

22a/22 = 22/22

a = 1 ----› Division property of Equality

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

It is given that:

The trigonometric expression is:

= (1+cos(x))²(tan(x/2))

As we know,

1 + cos(x) = 2cos²(x/2)

Use the above trigonometric identity:

= (2cos²(x/2))²(tan(x/2))

= 2 cos⁴(x/2) sin(x/2)/cos(x/2)

= 2 sin(x/2) cos³(x/2)

2sin A cos B = sin2A

Use the above trigonometric identity and after simplification we get:

= (1+cos(x))(sin(x))​

The trigonometric ratio is defined as the ratio of the pair of a right-angled triangle.

Thus, the trigonometric expression (1+cos(x))2(tan(x/2)) is equivalent to  (1+cos(x))(sin(x))​ option (d) is correct.
