A wire meters long is to be cut into two pieces. One piece will be shaped as an equilateral triangle, and the other piece will be shaped as a circle.
Part (a): Express the total area Aenclosed by the pieces of wire as a function of the length x of a side of the equilateral triangle.
Part (b): What is the domain of A?
Part (c): Graph . For what value of xis Asmallest?
Graph the function using the techniques of shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflecting. Start with the graph of the basic function and show all stages. Be sure to show at least three key points. Find the domain and the range of each function. Verify your results using a graphing utility.
When functions are defined by more than one equation, they are called __________________ functions.
