Answer: Height = 20 inches
Width = 14 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The aquarium is rectangular. The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular box is expressed as
Volume = LWH
Where L,W and H represents the length, width and height of the box.
The aquarium holding African cichlids is 6 inches higher than it is wide. It means that
H = W + 6
Its length is 33 inches, and its volume is 9240 cubic inches. It means that
9240 = 33W(W + 6)
9240/33 = W(W + 6)
280 = W² + 6W
W² + 6W + (6/2)² = 280 + (6/2)²
(W + 3)² = 280 + 9 = 289
Taking square root of both sides, it becomes
W + 3 = √289 = 17
W = 17 - 3
W = 14
H = W + 6 = 14 + 6
H = 20
Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation. We already have an x and y value. The derivative is found this way:
so
. The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation. Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is:
. So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3. Use these values to solve for b.
so b = 2. The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is
2x+y=5
To put this in slope intercept form, you simply have to get y by itself on the left side of the equation.
2x+y=5
2x+y-2x=5-2x
y=-2x+5
Now, I had to switch the right side around like that, because slope intercept form is y=mx+b
Because you're subtracting 2x from 5, it becomes 5 added to -2x when it's put in the correct form.
y=-2x+5
