Write a formula for the perimeter of a square as a function of its area:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we know the area of a square = side squared
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, one side = square root of the area (a)
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter (P) is the sum of all 4 sides:
\n" ); document.write( "so we have:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "P(a) = \"4%2Asqrt%28a%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "2)
\n" ); document.write( "Area of a sign.
\n" ); document.write( "A sign is in the shape of a square with a semicircle of radius x adjoining one side and a semicircle of diameter x removed from the opposite side. If the sides of the square are length 2x, then write the area of the sign as a function of x.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an expression for the area of each part:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Attached semi circle: \"%28pi%2Ax%5E2%29%2F2\"; (radius=x)
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "the square: \"%282x%29%5E2\"; (side=2x)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "removed semi circle: \"%28pi%2A%28.5x%29%5E2%29%2F2\"; (radius=.5x)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = area of the sign
\n" ); document.write( "Total area = large semi circle + square - small semicircle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = \"%28pi%2Ax%5E2%29%2F2\" + \"%282x%29%5E2\" - \"%28pi%2A%28.5x%29%5E2%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = \"%28pi%2Ax%5E2%29%2F2\" + \"%284x%5E2%29\" - \"%28pi%2A%28.25x%5E2%29%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "get each expression over 2
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = \"%28pi%2Ax%5E2%29%2F2\" + \"%288x%5E2%29%2F2%29\" - \"%28pi%2A%28.25x%5E2%29%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "so we have
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = \"%28pi%2Ax%5E2+%2B+8x%5E2+-+pi%2A.25x%5E2%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out x^2
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = \"%28x%5E2%28pi+%2B+8+-+.25pi%29%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "combine the pi's
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = \"%28x%5E2%28.75pi+%2B+8%29%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
