A semicircle of radius r is inscribed in a rectangle so that the diameter of the semicircle is the length of the rectangle. See the figure.

(a) Express the area A of the rectangle as a function of the radius r of the semicircle.

(b) Express the perimeter p of the rectangle as a function of r.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) Area A of rectangle as a function of the radius, r of the semicircle is 2r2.

Part (b) The perimeter pof the rectangle as a function of r is6r.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given

The length of the rectangle equals the diameter of the semicircle=2r

The breadth of the rectangle equals the radius of the semicircle=r

02

Part (a) Step 2. Substitute given values in the formula of the area of the rectangle.

Area A of the rectangle =lb

A=lb=2r(r)=2r2

Area of the rectangle as a function of the radius of the semicircle is2r2.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Substitute the give values of length and breadth of the rectangle in the formula for the perimeter of the rectangle.

Length of the rectangle=2r

Breadth of the rectangle=r

Perimeter p of the rectangle=2(l+b)

p=2(l+b)p=2(2r+r)p=2(3r)p=6r

The perimeter of the rectangle as a function of the radius of the semicircle is 6r.

In Problems 11–20, use the graph of the function f given.

Is f decreasing on the interval (-8, -4)?

Wind Chill The wind chill factor represents the equivalent air temperature at a standard wind speed that would produce the same heat loss as the given temperature and wind speed. One formula for computing the equivalent temperature is

W={t0≤v<1.7933-(10.45+10v-v)(33-t)22.04,1.79≤v≤2033-1.5958(33-t),v>20

where vrepresents the wind speed (in meters per second) and trepresents the air temperature . Compute the wind chill for the following:

(a) An air temperature of localid="1645962228946" 10°Cand a wind speed of 1 meter per second localid="1645962235368" (m/sec)

(b) An air temperature of localid="1645962241584" 10°Cand a wind speed of localid="1645962248218" 5m/sec

(c) An air temperature of localid="1645962254138" 10°Cand a wind speed of localid="1645962259043" 15m/sec

(d) An air temperature of localid="1645962265610" 10°Cand a wind speed of localid="1645962274629" 25m/sec

(e) Explain the physical meaning of the equation corresponding to localid="1645962280348" 0≤v<1.79

(f) Explain the physical meaning of the equation corresponding to localid="1645962285160" v>20.

Match each of the following functions with the graph that best describes the situation.

(a) The temperature of a bowl of soup as a function of time.

(b) The number of hours of daylight per day over a 2-year period

(c) The population of Texas as a function of time.

(d) The distance traveled by a car going at a constant velocity as a function of time.

(e) The height of a golf ball hit with a 7-iron as a function of time.

According to physicist Peter Brancazio, the key to a successful foul shot in basketball lies in the

arc of the shot. Brancazio determined the optimal angle of the arc from the free-throw line to be 45 degrees. The arc also depends on the velocity with which the ball is shot. If a player shoots a foul shot, releasing the ball at a 45-degree angle from a position 6 feet above the floor, then the path of

the ball can be modeled by the function

h(x)=-44x2v2+x+6

where h is the height of the ball above the floor, x is the forward distance of the ball in front of the foul line, and v is the initial velocity with which the ball is shot in feet per second. Suppose a player shoots a ball with an initial velocity of 28 feet per second.

(a) Determine the height of the ball after it has traveled 8 feet in front of the foul line.

(b) Determine h(12). What does this value represent?

(c) Find additional points and graph the path of the basketball.

(d) The center of the hoop is 10 feet above the floor and 15 feet in front of the foul line. Will the ball go through the hoop? Why or why not? If not, with what initial velocity must the ball be shot in order for the ball to go through the hoop?

Consider the equation

y=1ifxisrational0ifxisirrational

Is this a function? What is its domain? What is its range? What is its y-intercept, if any? What are its x-intercepts, if any? Is it even, odd, or neither? How would you describe its graph?
