Answer: Choice C

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\left(1 - \frac{1}{e^2}\right)

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

Explanation:

The graph is shown below. The base of the 3D solid is the blue region. It spans from x = 0 to x = 1. It's also above the x axis, and below the curve y = e^{-x}

Think of the blue region as the floor of this weirdly shaped 3D room.

We're told that the cross sections are perpendicular to the x axis and each cross section is a square. The side length of each square is e^{-x} where 0 < x < 1

Let's compute the area of each general cross section.

\text{area} = (\text{side})^2\\\\\text{area} = (e^{-x})^2\\\\\text{area} = e^{-2x}\\\\

We'll be integrating infinitely many of these infinitely thin square slabs to find the volume of the 3D shape. Think of it like stacking concrete blocks together, except the blocks are side by side (instead of on top of each other). Or you can think of it like a row of square books of varying sizes. The books are very very thin.

This is what we want to compute

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}e^{-2x}dx\\\\

Apply a u-substitution

u = -2x

du/dx = -2

du = -2dx

dx = du/(-2)

dx = -0.5du

Also, don't forget to change the limits of integration

  • If x = 0, then u = -2x = -2(0) = 0
  • If x = 1, then u = -2x = -2(1) = -2

This means,

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}e^{-2x}dx = \int_{0}^{-2}e^{u}(-0.5du) = 0.5\int_{-2}^{0}e^{u}du\\\\\\

I used the rule that \displaystyle \int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx = -\int_{b}^{a}f(x)dx which says swapping the limits of integration will have us swap the sign out front.

--------

Furthermore,

\displaystyle 0.5\int_{-2}^{0}e^{u}du = \frac{1}{2}\left[e^u+C\right]_{-2}^{0}\\\\\\= \frac{1}{2}\left[(e^0+C)-(e^{-2}+C)\right]\\\\\\= \frac{1}{2}\left[1 - \frac{1}{e^2}\right]

In short,

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}e^{-2x}dx = \frac{1}{2}\left[1 - \frac{1}{e^2}\right]

This points us to choice C as the final answer.

If 1 ft = 1.894 x 10​ -4​miles, convert 20.0 inches to miles
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

3.1567 * 10^-4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ft = 1.894 * 10^-4 miles , so

1 inch = 1.894 * 10^-4 / 12  miles

= 0.15783 * 10^-4

= 1.5783* 10^-5 miles  ( in scientific form).

Multiplying this by 20 we get

31.567 * 10^-5

= 3.1567 * 10^-4 miles.

The piecewise function h(x) is shown on the graph.
Artemon [7]

Step-by-step explanation/Answer:

<u><em>The value for h(3) is 1.</em></u>

<u><em>Coordinate (3,1)</em></u>

The value on h(3) is located in the last part of the piecewise function, which starts at (1,3) until (4,0). To know the exact image of h(3), we can find the function that belongs to that piece of line, and then calculated the asked value.

So, to calculate the equation, we first have to find the slope with its definition, and then we'll use the point-slope formula to find the equation:

<u><em>Therefore, the coordinates is (3,1), that is, the value for h(3) is 1.</em></u>

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 16.8 units and the width 9.6 units
Oxana [17]

Hey there! :) In order to find the perimeter, you must add all 4 sides. You first do 16.8 + 16.8 + 9.6 + 9.6 which is 52.8.

Hope it helps!
