An indoor track is made up of a rectangular region with two semi-circles at the ends. The distance around the track is 400 meters. What dimensions for the rectangular region maximize the area of the rectangular region?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

width of rectangle = 2R = (200/π) = 400/π meters

length of rectangle = 400 - π(200/π) = 400 - 200 = 200 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance around the track (400 m) has two parts:  one is the circumference of the circle and the other is twice the length of the rectangle.

Let L represent the length of the rectangle, and R the radius of one of the circular ends.  Then the length of the track (the distance around it) is:

Total = circumference of the circle + twice the length of the rectangle, or

         =                    2πR                    + 2L    = 400 (meters)  

This equation is a 'constraint.'  It simplifies to πR + L = 400.  This equation can be solved for R if we wish to find L first, or for L if we wish to find R first.  Solving for L, we get L = 400 - πR.

We wish to maximize the area of the rectangular region.  That area is represented by A = L·W, which is equivalent here to A = L·2R = 2RL.  We are to maximize this area by finding the correct R and L values.

We have already solved the constraint equation for L:  L = 400 - πR.  We can substitute this 400 - πR for L in

the area formula given above:    A = L·2R = 2RL = 2R)(400 - πR).  This product has the form of a quadratic:  A = 800R - 2πR².  Because the coefficient of R² is negative, the graph of this parabola opens down.  We need to find the vertex of this parabola to obtain the value of R that maximizes the area of the rectangle:        

                                                                   -b ± √(b² - 4ac)

Using the quadratic formula, we get R = ------------------------

                                                                            2a

                                                   -800 ± √(6400 - 4(0))           -1600

or, in this particular case, R = ------------------------------------- = ---------------

                                                        2(-2π)

            -800

or R = ----------- = 200/π

            -4π

and so L = 400 - πR (see work done above)

These are the dimensions that result in max area of the rectangle:

width of rectangle = 2R = (200/π) = 400/π meters

length of rectangle = 400 - π(200/π) = 400 - 200 = 200 meters

A motorboat is capable of traveling at a speed of 14 miles per hour in still water. On a particular day, it took 15 minutes longer to travel a distance of 12 miles
upstream than it took to travel the same distance downstream. What was the rate of current in the stream on that day?

Answers

By solving a system of equations we will find that the rate of current in the stream is S = 2 mi/h.

When the motorboat travels downstream, the total velocity will be the velocity of the motorboat in still water plus the velocity of the stream, while if the motorboat travels upstream, we have the velocity of the stream subtracted.

So upstream the speed is:

(14 mi/h - S)

Downstream the speed is:

(14 mi/h + S)

Where S is the rate of current in the stream.

We know that downstream it takes 15 minutes more to travel 12 miles, then we can write the system of equations:

(14 mi/h + S)*T = 12 mi

(14 mi/h - S)*(T - 15 min) = 12 mi

To solve this, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, I will isolate T in the first one:

T = (12 mi)/(14 mi/h + S)

Replacing that in the other equation we will get:

(14 mi/h - S)*((12 mi)/(14 mi/h + S) - 15 min) = 12 mi

Now we can solve this for S. Now we can multiply both sides by (14 mi/h + S).

(14 mi/h - S)*12 mi  - (14 mi/h + S)*(14 mi/h - S)*(- 15 min) = 12 mi*(14 mi/h + S)

Also notice that the speeds are in hours, so we can rewrite:

- 15 min = -0.25 h

(14 mi/h - S)*12 mi  - (14 mi/h + S)*(14 mi/h - S)*(- 0.25 h) = 12 mi*(14 mi/h + S)

168 mi^2/h - 12mi*S  + 49mi^2/h + 0.25h*S^2 = 168mi^2/h + 12mi*S

- 12mi*S  + 49mi^2/h - 0.25h*S^2 = 12mi*S

-24mi*S -  0.25h*S^2  + 49mi^2/h = 0

This is a quadratic equation, the solutions are:

[tex]S = \frac{24mi \pm \sqrt{(-24mi)^2 - 4*(49mi^2/h)*(-0.25h)} }{2*-0.25h} \\\\S = \frac{24mi \pm 25 mi }{-0.5h}[/tex]

We only take the positive solution, so we get:

S = (24 mi - 25 mi)/(-0.5 mi) = 2 mi/h

The rate of current in the stream is 2 mi/h.

A table is on sale for 32% off. The sale price is $459.
What is the regular price?

Answers

the regular price is "x", which of course is the 100%, but we also know that $459 is 32% off that, hmmmmm well 100% - 32% = 68%, so $459 is really 68% of "x", because $459 is whatever "x" is minus 32%.

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 459&68 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{459}=\cfrac{100}{68}\implies \cfrac{x}{459}=\cfrac{25}{17} \\\\\\ 17x = 11475\implies x = \cfrac{11475}{17}\implies x = 675[/tex]

$675 is the regular price. $459 is 68% of the original price. (100-32=68). To find the original price you would do 459 divided by 0.68 and would get 675. To check that you would do 675 times 0.68 and would get 459. I hope this helps

Answers

Answer:

The number of miles Jill ran is the number of miles Sue ran (11) minus the number of miles Sue ran more than Jill (7).

So far, x=11-7.

Reorder the equation. Add 7 to both sides.

x + 7 = 11.

So, the correct equation is A.

A car is being compacted into a rectangular solid. The volume is decreasing at a rate of 2 m3/sec. The length and width of the compactor are square, but the height is not the same length as the length and width. If the length and width walls move toward each other at a rate of 0.25 m/ sec, find the rate at which the height is changing when the length and width are 2 m and the height is 1.5 m.

Answers

Using implicit differentiation, it is found that the height is changing at a rate of -0.875 m/sec.

The volume of a rectangular solid of length l, width w and height h is given by:

[tex]V = lwh[/tex]

Applying implicit differentiation, the rate of change of the volume is given by:

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = wh\frac{dl}{dt} + lh\frac{dw}{dt} + lw\frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

In this problem:

Volume is decreasing at a rate of 2 m3/sec, hence [tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = -2[/tex]The length and width walls move toward each other at a rate of 0.25 m/ sec, hence [tex]\frac{dl}{dt} = \frac{dw}{dt} = 0.25[/tex]Length and width are 2 m and the height is 1.5 m, hence [tex]l = w = 2, h = 1.5[/tex]

Then:

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = wh\frac{dl}{dt} + lh\frac{dw}{dt} + lw\frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]-2  = 2(1.5)(0.25) + 2(1.5)(0.25) + 2(2)\frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]4\frac{dh}{dt} = -3.5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = -\frac{3.5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = -0.875[/tex]

The height is changing at a rate of -0.875 m/sec.
