Find dimensions of maximum area if 240m of fencing are used?
Suppose that 240 m of fencing are used to enclose a corral in the shape of a rectangle with a semicircle whose diameter is a side of the rectangle as the following figure
Figure: http://webwork.unbsj.ca/webwork2_files/tmp/Math100...
I hope you guys can see that
Let x be the width of the rectangle, and y be the height of the rectangle (both measured in meters), as shown in the diagram. Find the dimensions of the corral with maximum area.
x = ____m
y = ____m
Please help, I keep finding that x is 120, but the y is negative which doesn't make sense
Let me know answer and how you got to it!
Thank you!

1 AnswerMathematics5 years agoCheck whether it is possible that the function f(x)=(x^9)+x-13 has two real roots?
By applying Rolle's theorem, check whether it is possible that the function f(x) = x^(9)+ x - 13 has two real roots.
Answer: _______(input possible or impossible )
Your reason is that if f(x) has two real roots then by Rolle's theorem:
f'(x) must be _______(input a number here)
at certain value of x between these two roots, but f'(x) is always ______(input negative , positive, or zero )

1 AnswerMathematics5 years agoCalculate y' and y'' at the point (1,1) on the curve 7x(y^2)+1y-8 = 0.?
Calculate y' and y'' at the point (1,1) on the curve 7x(y^2)+1 y-8 = 0.
for y', I got (-7y^2)/(14xy+1), once I put in the (1, 1), I got -7/15 which is correct.
as for y'' I tried it multiple times and usually get (98y^3)/196x^2y^2+28xy+1+98xy^2+14y, plug in the (1, 1) and I get 98/337 which is wrong. I know that y'' is the derivative of y' but obviously I messed up somewhere. I tried it multiple times and keep getting this one wrong.
Please let me know the correct answer and how to get to it,
Thank you!

1 AnswerMathematics5 years agoHelp with finding velocity using chain rule?
The motion of a spring that is subject to a frictional force or a damping force (such as a shock absorber on a car) is often modeled by the product of an exponential function and a sine or cosine function. Suppose the equation of motion of a point on such a spring is
s(t)=(8e^(-1.6t))(sin(2pi t)
where s is measured in centimeters and t is measured in seconds. Find the velocity of the point after t seconds.
Graph both the position and the velocity function for 0 (smaller or equal to) t (smaller or equal to) 8.
Please help me understand!
Thanks in advance!
