The two parabolas intersect for

8-x^2 = x^2 \implies 2x^2 = 8 \implies x^2 = 4 \implies x=\pm2

and so the base of each solid is the set

B = \left\{(x,y) \,:\, -2\le x\le2 \text{ and } x^2 \le y \le 8-x^2\right\}

The side length of each cross section that coincides with B is equal to the vertical distance between the two parabolas, |x^2-(8-x^2)| = 2|x^2-4|. But since -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, this reduces to 2(x^2-4).

a. Square cross sections will contribute a volume of

\left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = 4(x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x

where ∆x is the thickness of the section. Then the volume would be

\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 4(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx \\\\ = 8 \int_0^2 (x^4-8x^2+16) \, dx \\\\ = 8 \left(\frac{2^5}5 - \frac{8\times2^3}3 + 16\times2\right) = \boxed{\frac{2048}{15}}

where we take advantage of symmetry in the first line.

b. For a semicircle, the side length we found earlier corresponds to diameter. Each semicircular cross section will contribute a volume of

\dfrac\pi8 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \dfrac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x

We end up with the same integral as before except for the leading constant:

\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \frac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \pi \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx

Using the result of part (a), the volume is

\displaystyle \frac\pi8 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{256\pi}{15}}}

c. An equilateral triangle with side length s has area √3/4 s², hence the volume of a given section is

\dfrac{\sqrt3}4 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \sqrt3 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x

and using the result of part (a) again, the volume is

\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \sqrt 3(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \frac{\sqrt3}4 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{512}{5\sqrt3}}

Answer:

D = 59t

P = 42t

5 hours after noon, darmian is 17 miles closer to the stadium than paisley

Step-by-step explanation:

At noon, Damian is 383 miles away from the stadium and paisley is 315 miles away from the stadium.

Now, we are told that damians speed is 59 mph while paisley's speed is 42 mph.

At t hours after noon, their distance covered will be;

Damian; D = 59t

Paisley; P = 42t

This is because distance = speed × time

Now, 5 hours after noon, their respective distance covered will be;

D(5) = 59 × 5 = 295 miles

P(5) = 42 × 5 = 210 miles

This means that;

distance of Damian from the stadium is; 383 - 295 = 88 miles

Distance of paisley from the stadium is;

315 - 210 = 105 miles

Difference in their distances to the stadium = 105 - 88 = 17 miles

Thus, 5 hours after noon, darmian is 17 miles closer to the stadium than paisley

What is the midpoint M of that line segment?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: The midpoint M is located at (6,4)

==============================================

Explanation:

First focus on just the x coordinates of points S and T, which are 5 and 7 respectively. Add them up to get 5+7 = 12. Then divide that in half to get 12/2 = 6. This is the x coordinate of the midpoint.

Repeat for the y coordinates of S and T. First add up the values: 7+1 = 8. Then divide by 2 to get 8/2 = 4. This is the y coordinate of the midpoint.

The two results we get are then written as an ordered pair getting us the answer (6,4)

Penny and Kenny have the same number of football cards.
Pachacha [2.7K]
Hello,
Penny==>a*10 (a is an integer)
Kenny==>b*18 (b is an integer)

a*10=b*18==>a=9*b/5 ==>b=5+n*5
a=9*(5+5*n)/5=9*(1+n)=9+9n
If n=0 then a=9 and b=5 :Number od cards: 9*10=10, 5*18=90
if n=1 then a=19 and b=10: Number of cards: 19*10=190>100 to exclude.

So number of cards=90

Question1) Describe three scenarios that involve a real-world linear or exponential function. At least one must be exponential.
elixir [45]

Answer:

1) Let's suppose that you go in a straight line, in a car that moves at a constant speed of 80km/h.

Then the distance from your house (assuming that you start the drive in your house) can be modeled with a linear equation:

D(t) = 80km/h*t

where t is time in hours.

This will be a linear function.

2) Suppose that you have a population of some animal, that grows by 2% each month, and initially, there are 100 individuals of that animal.

Then the first month, the population is 100.

The second month the population increased by a 2%, then it will be:

100 + 100*0.02 = 100*(1.02)

The third month, the population will be 100*(1.02) + 0.2*100*(1.02) = 100*(1.02)^2.

and so on, this is an exponential relation, where the population as a function of the number of months, can be written as:

P(m) = 100*(1.02)^(m - 1)

3) Suppose that you have $100 saved, and each month you can save another $80, let's find a function that says the amount of money that you have saved as a function of the number of months. S(m)

The month number zero (before you started saving) you had $100 saved.

S(0) = $100.

One month after, you have saved $80 more, then you have:

S(1) = $100 + $80

Another month after, you have:

S(2) = $100 + $80 + $80 = $100 + 2*$80

And so on, you already can see the pattern, after m months, you will have:

S(m) = $100 + m*$80 saved.
