a rectangle has its base on x-axis and its upper two vertices on the parabola y= 12 - x2. What is the largest area of rectangle?

Sagot :

A rectangle's greatest area is 32 square units.

Given:

A parabola's equation is y = 12 - x2, which is an even function

As a result, its rectangular shape is also even at the origin.

We are aware that the area of a rectangle is equal to its length times its width.

Here,

width = y, length = 2x

A = 2x, where (12 -  [tex]x^{2}[/tex])

⇒ A = 24x - 2[tex]x^{3}[/tex]

Consider the A derivative with regard to x.

⇒ A' = 24 - 6 [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

When A' = 0, the area is the largest.

⇒ 24 - 6x2 = 0

⇒ [tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 4

⇒ x = 2

Replace x with its value in y = 12 -  [tex]x^{2}[/tex].

⇒ y = 12 - 4

⇒ y = 8

Area = 2(2)(8) = 32

Hence, a rectangle's greatest area is 32 square units.
