Or now I have to find area: A = l * w A = 2R/sqrt(2) * sqrt(R^2/2) A = sqrt(2) * sqrt(x) * sqrt(x^2) ?

So now I have A, length, and width. Correct? A = $$2x * sqrt(R^2 - x^2)$$

Absolutely - sorry for the delay! This is my understanding of how to "optimize" the problem: So I've found the area, I believe. But I need to find the "rectangle of largest area that can be inscribed in a semicircle of radius R". I'm confused about how to do this. And what does the...

Hello guys, I'm really stuck on this problem. Could anyone provide help? f(x) = x^2 - 1 Obtain: (i) domain (ii) intercepts (iii) symmetry (iv) asymptotes (v) intervals of increase/decrease (vi) local maxima and minima (vii) concavity and points of inflection Use these values to...

I'm really stuck on this problem. Could anyone provide some help? Find the length and width of the rectangle of largest area that can be inscribed in a semicircle of radius R, assuming that one side of the rectangle lies on the diameter of the semicircle. Also, find the area of this rectangle...
