right triangle inscribed in semi-circle which has diameter of 20cm. where should side perpendicular to diameter be located so that area is maximum?

enlighten me ATOT

just make a guess

Hypotenuse = diameter?

- M4H

1 in 3 chance unless you mean which side of the circle, then you have a 1 in infinity chance.

x = 5 right of the center

ohhh i liked that stuff; now we're doing definite integrals with substitution and it's annoying as hell.

yeah calculus does suck, were doing indefinite/definite integrals and starting applications of integrals friday. i think my grade is a around a 70 >_<..

calculus KICKS ASS

i hate calc too

(10+y)(10-y) = x^2

What value of y maximizes (10+y)(x)?

EDIT: Speaking of which, is this Multivariable calculus? The problem above could be solved pretty easily using Lagrange Multipliers, but with single-variable calculus, the derivatives get messy.

Find the equation.

Find the derivative.

Find the max.

Done.

Why did you bump it? He has the method and the answer

actually the derivative really isn't that bad

I loved calculus when I took it in high school.
Fast forward 13 years later; I took a college level math class that has some calculus crap in it.. something about derivatives.. I don't have a freaking clue. I had an A in high school.. now I'm

as I said before...5 units right of the center of the circle
