A wire of length 8x is bent into the shape of a circle. A. Express the circumference of the circle as a function of x. B. Express the area of the circle as a function of x.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]a. C=8X\\\\b. A=\frac{16x^2}{\pi}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given length is [tex]8x[/tex]

Circumference of a circle is given as:

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

a.But the circumference is equal to length of the wire. Therefore circumference as a function of [tex]x[/tex] is:

[tex]C=8x[/tex]

b.Area as function of [tex]x[/tex]

Area is calculated as[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]

Rewrite the circumference equation to make r the subject of the formula.

[tex]2\pi r=8x\\r=\frac{4x}{\pi}[/tex]

To express area as a function of [tex]x[/tex]:-

[tex]A=\pi r^2\\=\pi (\frac{4x}{\pi})^2\\=\frac{16x^2}{\pi}[/tex]

Therefore area of circle as a function of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]\frac{16x^2}{\pi}[/tex]
