asked 03/11/21hey, I'm having a hard time solving part (b) I got the answer for part (a)
An arch has the shape of the parabola y = 10 - x^2. A rectangle is fit under the arch by selecting a point (x, y) on the parabola (see the figure).
(a) Express the area A of the rectangle in terms of x. (A: 20x-2x^3)
(b) If x = 1, the rectangle has base 2 and height 3. Find the
base of a second rectangle that has the same area.
thank you.
