Answer:

Total weight = 70.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular frame is made from 5 straight pieces of metal. One of them goes through the diagonal of the rectangle.

2 pieces form the length of the rectangular frame, hence, they have a length of 12 m each

2 pieces from the width of the rectangular frame, hence, they a length of 5 m each

To find the length of the diagonal, we can use Pythagoras Theorem:

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Perpendicular²

Hypotenuse² = 5² + 12²

Hypotenuse² = 169²

Hypotenuse = 13

Hence, the length of the piece of metal placed at the diagonal is 13cm

Find the sum of all lengths of the metal pieces.

Total length = 12 + 12 + 5 + 5 + 13

Total length = 47 m

Total weight = 1.5 × Total length

Total weight = 1.5 kg/m × 47m

Total weight = 70.5 kg

Answer:

$12159 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I invest $x each year at the simple interest of 7.5%, then the first $x will grow for 35 years, the second $x will grow for 34 years and so on.

So, the total amount that will grow after 35 years by investing $x at the start of each year at the rate of 7.5% simple interest will be given by

$x( 1 + \frac{35 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{34 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{33 \times 7.5}{100}) + ......... + x( 1 + \frac{1 \times 7.5}{100})$

= $35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [35 + 34 + 33 + ......... + 1]$

= $35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [\frac{1}{2} (35) (35 + 1)]$

{Since sum of n natural numbers is given by $\frac{1}{2} (n)(n + 1)$ }

= 35x + 47.25x

= 82.25x

Now, given that the final amount will be i million dollars = $1000000

So, 82.25x = 1000000

⇒ x = $12,158. 05 ≈ $12159

Therefore. I have to invest $12159 per year. (Answer)

You're looking for the extreme values of $x^2+3y^2+13x$ subject to the constraint $x^2+y^2\le1$ .

The target function has partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2+3y^2+13x)}{\partial x}=2x+13=0\implies x=-\dfrac{13}2$

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2+3y^2+13x)}{\partial y}=6y=0\implies y=0$

so there is only one critical point at $\left(-\dfrac{13}2,0\right)$ . But this point does not fall in the region $x^2+y^2\le1$ . There are no extreme values in the region of interest, so we check the boundary.
