Response-

(78,104) represents the point closest to the interior.

Explanation-

The equation defining the circle,

$\Rightarrow x^2+y^2 = 16900$

$\Rightarrow y^2 = 16900-x^2$

$\Rightarrow y = \sqrt{16900-x^2}$

Since the point lies on the circle, its coordinates must be,

$(x,\sqrt{16900-x^2})$

The distance "d" from the point to (30,40) can be calculated as,

$=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(x-30)^2+(\sqrt{16900-x^2}-40)^2}$

$=\sqrt{x^2+900-60x+16900-x^2+1600-80\sqrt{16900-x^2}}$

$=\sqrt{9400-60x-80\sqrt{16900-x^2}}$

Next, we need to determine the value of x for which d is minimized. The minimum distance occurs when $9400-60x-80\sqrt{16900-x^2}$ is at its lowest value.

Let’s set up the equation,

$\Rightarrow f(x)=9400-60x-80\sqrt{16900-x^2}$

$\Rightarrow f'(x)=-60+80\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{16900-x^2}}$

$\Rightarrow f''(x)=\dfrac{1352000}{\left(16900-x^2\right)\sqrt{16900-x^2}}$

We find the critical points,

$\Rightarrow f'(x)=0$

$\Rightarrow-60+80\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{16900-x^2}}=0$

$\Rightarrow 80\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{16900-x^2}}=60$

$\Rightarrow 80x=60\sqrt{16900-x^2}$

$\Rightarrow 80^2x^2=60^2(16900-x^2)$

$\Rightarrow 6400x^2=3600(16900-x^2)$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{16}{9}x^2=16900-x^2$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{25}{9}x^2=16900$

$\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\dfrac{16900\times 9}{25}}=78$

$\Rightarrow x=78$

Then,

$\Rightarrow f''(78)=\dfrac{1352000}{\left(16900-78^2\right)\sqrt{16900-78^2}}=\dfrac{125}{104}=1.2$

Since f''(x) is positive, the function f(x) achieves its minimum at x=78

When x is set to 78, the corresponding y value will be

$\Rightarrow y = \sqrt{16900-x^2}=\sqrt{16900-78^2}=104$

This leads us to conclude that the closest point is (78,104)

Mr. Brown owned a house, which he rented for $60 a month. The house was assessed at $9000. In 1975 the rate of taxation was incr

AnnZ [12381]

First, we determine the percentage increase for the tax.

Initial amount = 25×9 = 225 ⇒ The 9 signifies 9 lots of thousands representing the house's value.
New amount = 28×9 = 252

Tax increase = 252 - 225 = 27
Percentage increase = (27÷225) ×100 = 12%

Therefore, the yearly rent should rise by 12%

Monthly rent is $60
Yearly rent = 60×12 = $720
With a 12% increase = 720×1.12 = 806.4 ⇒ Here, 1.12 is the multiplier derived from 100%+12%=112%=1.12

Monthly rent becomes 806.4÷12 = $67.20, resulting in an additional $7.20 each month.

What is the answer? The glee club has 120 cupcakes to sell. they have decided to arrange the cupcakes in the shape of a rectangl

PIT_PIT [12445]

<span>Determine the configuration of columns and rows for the rectangular arrangement of 120 cupcakes.
=> There must be an even number of rows and an odd number of columns.
=> 120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 15
=> 120 = 8 x 15
=> 120 = 120
Consequently, the glee club should organize the cupcakes in 8 rows and 15 columns.
This totals up to 120 cupcakes altogether.
