Question Number 185453 by cortano1 last updated on 22/Jan/23

 Find the largest possible area   of trapezoid that can be drawn    under the x−axis so that one    of its bases is on the x−axis    and the other two vertices are   on the curve y=x^2 −9

question is wrong. with given   conditions trapezoid can be ∞ large.

any app used for the graph?

but your question describes a  trapezoid like this:

i wrong or you wrong?

i think the question required    base of trapezoid must  be on curve y=x^2 −9

$${i}\:{think}\:{the}\:{question}\:{required}\: \\ $$$$\:{base}\:{of}\:{trapezoid}\:{must} \\ $$$${be}\:{on}\:{curve}\:{y}={x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{9} \\ $$

that′s exactly what i showed above:  one base is on the x−axis, the  other base is on the curve.  bases are the two parallel sides!

get   −3≤b≤a≤3  S=((∣a^2 −9∣×∣b^2 −9∣×∣a−b∣)/2)=(((9−a^2 )(9−b^2 )(a−b))/2)   { (((∂S/∂b)=((9−a^2 )/2)(−9+3b^2 −2ba)=0)),(((∂S/∂a)=((9−b^2 )/2)(9−3a^2 +2ab)=0)) :}  ⇒ { ((b=    3      or    −(√(9/5)))),((a=−3     or         (√(9/5))  )) :}       ⇒       S=0                 S=((72)/(25))(√(9/5))  ⇒⇒S(max)=((72)/(25))(√(9/5))=((216)/(25(√5)))

$${get}\:\:\:−\mathrm{3}\leqslant{b}\leqslant{a}\leqslant\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${S}=\frac{\mid{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{9}\mid×\mid{b}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{9}\mid×\mid{a}−{b}\mid}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{9}−{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)\left(\mathrm{9}−{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)\left({a}−{b}\right)}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\begin{cases}{\frac{\partial{S}}{\partial{b}}=\frac{\mathrm{9}−{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}\left(−\mathrm{9}+\mathrm{3}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{ba}\right)=\mathrm{0}}\\{\frac{\partial{S}}{\partial{a}}=\frac{\mathrm{9}−{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{3}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{ab}\right)=\mathrm{0}}\end{cases} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\begin{cases}{{b}=\:\:\:\:\mathrm{3}\:\:\:\:\:\:{or}\:\:\:\:−\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{5}}}}\\{{a}=−\mathrm{3}\:\:\:\:\:{or}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{5}}}\:\:}\end{cases}\:\:\:\:\: \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{S}=\mathrm{0}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{S}=\frac{\mathrm{72}}{\mathrm{25}}\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{5}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\Rightarrow{S}\left({max}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{72}}{\mathrm{25}}\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{5}}}=\frac{\mathrm{216}}{\mathrm{25}\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}} \\ $$
