Answer to Problem 86E
a =6 appears to give the minimum area 12.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: A right triangle is formed in the first quadrant by the x -axis, the y -
axis, and a line segment through the point (3,2).
Calculation:
Below table shows values of a andA.
a | Area |
4.00 | 16.00 |
4.50 | 13.50 |
5.00 | 12.50 |
5.50 | 12.10 |
6.00 | 12.00 |
6.50 | 12.07 |
7.00 | 12.25 |
7.50 | 12.50 |
8.00 | 12.80 |
The graph of the function
Wherex -axis shows value of a and y -axis shows value of area A.
a =6 appears to give the minimum area 12.
