I've attached a plot of one such cross-section (orange) over the region in the x-y plane (blue), including the bounding curves (red). (I've set
for this example.)
The length of each cross section (the side lying in the base) has length determined by the horizontal distance
between the y-axis
and the curve
. In terms of
, this distance is
. The height of each cross section is twice the value of
, so the area of each rectangular cross section should be
.
This means the volume would be given by the integral
Answer:
To ensure uniformity on an exam
Or
To test whether you can distinguish between the two formats
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form is when a straight line equation is rearranged in the form:
Therefore y=2x+4 in standard form is
The slope-intercept form is when a a straight line equation is written in the form:
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
The given equation is
This is already in slope-intercept form:
The standard form and slope-intercept forms are just formats.
Your instructor may restrict you to leave your answer in one of these formats maybe for uniformity on a test.
You may also decide to rewrite an equation in slope-intercept form, so that you can easily identify the slope and y-intercept easily for graphing purpose.
Range is the set of possible output values of a function. In this case, it’s (-9, -3, 0, 5, 7).
