A max/min problem 2012-12-14
bailey pose la question :
A right angled triangle OPQ is drawn as shown where O is at (0,0). P is a point on the parabola y = ax – x^2 and Q is on the x-axis.

Show that the maximum possible area for the triangle OPQ is (2a^3)/(27)

Maximum area of a rectangle 2011-10-04
Lyndsay pose la question :
A rectangle is to be constructed having the greatest possible area and a perimeter of 50 cm.

(a) If one of the sides of the rectangle measures 'x' cm, find a formula for calculating the area of the rectangle as a function of 'x'.

(b) Determine the dimensions of the rectangle for which it has the greatest area possible. What is the maximum area?

A ball bearing is placed on an inclined plane 2008-02-15
Leah pose la question :
A ball bearing is placed on an inclined plane and begins to roll. The angle of elevation of the plane is x. The distance (in meters) that the ball bearing rolls in t seconds is s(t) = 4.9(sin x)t^2. What is the speed of the ball bearing, and what value of x will produce the maximum speed at a particular time?

Nancy pose la question :
A motorist in a desert 5 mi. from point A, which is the nearest point on a long, straight road, wishes to get to point B on the road. If the car can travel 15 mi/hr on the desert and 39 mi/hr on the road to get to B, in the shortest possible time if......

A.) B is 5 mi. from A

B.) B is 10 mi. from A

C.) B is 1 mi. from A

An emergency response station 2001-03-29
Tara pose la question :
Three cities lying on a straight line want to jointly build an emergency response station. The distance between each town and the station should be as short as possible, so it cannot be built on the line itself, but somewhere east or west. Also, the larger the population of a city, the greater the need to place the station closer to that city. You are to minimize the overall sum of the products of the populations of each city and the square of the distance between that city and the facility. City A is 6 miles from the road's origin, City B is 19 miles away from the origin, and City C is 47 miles from the origin. The populations are 18,000 for City A, 13,000 for City B, and 11,000 for City C. Where should the station be located?

Slant height of a cone 2000-02-24
Jocelyn Wozney pose la question :
I need help with this problem for my high school calculus class. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated-I am pretty stumped. "Express the volume of a cone in terms of the slant height 'e' and the semi-vertical angle 'x' and find the value of 'x' for which the volume is a maximum if 'e' is constant.

Area of a circle and an inequality 1999-10-30
Adam Anderson pose la question :
I have two problems.

The first: prove that the area of a cirlce is pi times radius squared without using calculus.

The second: show that ln(x) < x - 1 for all x > 0.


Harley Weston lui répond.
