Rewrite this for volume maximization V = x²h in terms of one variable using the cost equation, derive V, and solve V' = 0 within 1 ≤ x ≤ 3. The result is validated by the condition that both dimensions meet the minimum size, found to be x = √6 with h approximately 1.63 m.
The constraints involve the geometry of the right triangle. The rectangle is inscribed such that its sides lie along the two shorter legs (5 cm and 12 cm) with its diagonal on the hypotenuse (13 cm). By expressing the sides of the rectangle in terms of one variable using similar triangles or coordinate geometry, the area function can be derived. Taking the derivative, setting to zero, and checking within bounds provides the maximum area of 15 cm² with length 6 cm and width 2.5 cm.
The displacement function s(t) is given, with t in seconds and endpoints 0 ≤ t ≤ 22. Determine displacements by evaluating s at critical points found by setting the velocity function s'(t) to zero and checking end points. For the maximum displacement to the right, analyze within the provided range and solve, leading to right displacement of 0.184 m at time 0.607 sec. Maximum left displacement occurs at -1496 m when t equals 22 sec.
Given a right triangle with legs 5 cm and 12 cm, the inscribed rectangle utilizes two sides lying on the legs. By setting coordinates with the origin at one vertex, express the rectangle's area as a function of one variable using similar triangles to relate sides and hypotenuse. Derive the area function concerning the possible horizontal coordinate, solving for critical points and confirming the maximum area is 15 cm² with dimensions 6 cm by 2.5 cm as the largest inscribable rectangle.
The cost function is formulated by calculating the surface area of the cylinder, which consists of the base and the lateral surface area. Since the base costs $0.06/cm² and the side costs $0.08/cm², the cost function is C = 0.06πr² + 0.08(2πrh). Since the volume V = πr²h is 2000 cm³ (2 liters), you can express h in terms of r as h = 2000/(πr²). Substitute this into the cost function, derive it, and find the minimum by setting the derivative to zero within the domain r > 0.
The problem setup includes two cities A and B that are 320 km apart, and C is 200 km from each of them. The goal is to place a warehouse such that it is equidistant from A and B and minimizes the sum of the distances to all three cities. This involves setting a point on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB. With coordinates determined for C, calculus is used to express and minimize an objective function representing the sum of the distances, checked within specified intervals or possible locations of 0 ≤ x ≤ 120 or 160 ≤ x ≤ 200. The optimal location is 184.8 km from A and B and 27.6 km from C.
The technique used is to set up a function for the total travel time T(x), which involves calculating the time taken to row to a point x on the opposite shoreline and then jog the remaining distance. This involves using the relationship between speed, distance, and time: T(x) = (3² + x²)^(1/2)/7 + (10-x)/11. To find the point that minimizes this time, calculate the derivative of T with respect to x, set it to zero, and solve. The critical point within the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 that minimizes T is where Caleb should row.
First, express the number of cups sold n as a function of price x: n(x) = 100x(2^(-x) + 2). To maximize the sale of cups, differentiate n with respect to x, then set the derivative to zero to find critical points. Analyze these critical points within the domain 0 < x to determine where n is maximized. After analysis, it is found that the price of $1.44 per cup leads to selling 253 cups, which is the maximum.
To determine the largest rectangle area under y = 2^(-x), express the area as A = x(2^(-x)) and find the derivative to optimize. Solving A' = 0 within valid x ensures maximized area with sides length 1.44 and width 0.37 units. Checking perimeter involves expressing similarly P = 2(x+w) and testing its maximum analytically and numerically, confirming no maximum due to increasing perimeter indefinitely as x extends within domain limits, with no maximum defined as y approaches zero.
The mathematical process involves modeling the problem graphically and using trigonometric relationships to express the length of the pipe in terms of the angle of the turn. The pipe length l is determined by summing projections for each hallway: l = 8/sin(θ) + 5/cos(θ). The derivative dl/dθ is set to zero for critical points, and analyzed within 0 < θ < π/2 to find a minimum. Solving gives a maximum pipe length of 18.2 ft that can be carried.
