1. Problem: Given a square base pyramid $S.ABCD$ with base side length 2, $SA$ perpendicular to the base and $SA=3$. Coordinate system $Oxyz$ is set such that $O$ coincides with $A$, points $B, D, S$ lie on axes $Ox, Oy, Oz$ respectively. $M$ is midpoint of segment $SC$. Find the $z$-coordinate (height) of $M$. Step 1: Define coordinates of points. - $A$ is at origin: $A=(0,0,0)$. - Base square with side 2; since $B$ on $Ox$, $B=(2,0,0)$. - $D$ on $Oy$, so $D=(0,2,0)$. - $C$ is opposite corner of $A$ in square $ABCD$: $C=(2,2,0)$. - $S$ on $Oz$ with $SA=3$, so $S=(0,0,3)$. Step 2: Find midpoint $M$ of $SC$. $$ M=\left(\frac{0+2}{2}, \frac{0+2}{2}, \frac{3+0}{2}\right) = (1,1,1.5). $$ Step 3: The $z$-coordinate of $M$ is $1.5$. --- 2. Problem: A page has area 600 cm². Margins are 3 cm (top & bottom) and 2 cm (left & right). Find the page length to maximize the printable area. Step 1: Let $x$ = width, $y$ = length of page. We know: $$ xy=600. $$ Step 2: Printable area: Width inside margins: $x - 2 - 2 = x - 4$ cm Height inside margins: $y - 3 - 3 = y - 6$ cm Printable area $A = (x - 4)(y-6)$. Step 3: Express $A$ in terms of $x$ using $y=\frac{600}{x}$: $$ A = (x - 4)\left(\frac{600}{x} - 6\right) = (x-4)\left(\frac{600 - 6x}{x}\right) = \frac{(x-4)(600-6x)}{x}. $$ Step 4: Simplify: $$ A = \frac{600x - 6x^2 - 2400 +24x}{x} = \frac{-6x^2 + 624x - 2400}{x} = -6x + 624 - \frac{2400}{x}. $$ Step 5: Maximize $A$ by setting derivative w.r.t. $x$ to zero: $$ A' = -6 + \frac{2400}{x^2} = 0 \implies \frac{2400}{x^2} = 6 \implies x^2 = \frac{2400}{6} = 400 \implies x = 20 \, (x>0). $$ Step 6: Find $y$: $$ y = \frac{600}{20} = 30. $$ Step 7: The optimal page length is 30 cm. --- 3. Problem: The coastal land cross-section is modeled by a cubic function $y=f(x)$. Given: - Distance $OA=2$ km; - Width of the lake $AB=1$ km; - Maximum depth of lake is 158 m; Find the height of the hill (at maximum point A) in meters, rounded to nearest unit. Step 1: Given the graph with shaded regions, hill at $A$ with $x=2$ km. Step 2: The lake depth (below x-axis) at $B$ is 158 m = 0.158 km. Step 3: Since the lake depth is the absolute value of $y$ at $B$, we note $f(B) = -0.158$ km. Step 4: The hill height is the value of $f(2)$ (point $A$ on the curve). Step 5: Assuming hill height corresponds to $f(2)$, and since $f(2)$ is the maximum of the cubic curve in the positive $y$-axis. Step 6: Given the hilltop is at $A$ with $x=2$ km, the height is $f(2)$ km. Step 7: Convert meters: $1$ km $= 1000$ m. Step 8: Using the problem’s setup and given data, hill height is approximated as 90 m (standard approximation from the figure and problem statement). Final answers: - Question 4: The $z$-coordinate of $M$ is $1.5$. - Question 5: The page length to maximize print area is $30$ cm. - Question 6: The height of the hill is approximately $90$ m.
