Answer:

9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to graph these two functions and find where they intersect so you can figure out the lower and upper bounds you need on your integral. I just entered it in on my TI-84 and had it figure out the intersections for me: (1, -3) and (4, 0). You could also set these two equations equal to one another and figure out their intersection point algebraically.

This means your integral should have an upper bound of 4 and a lower bound of 1, since I want to integrate with respect to x. You could also integrate with respect to y; it depends on your preference. Since the equations are already solved for y, it's easier to integrate with respect to x. To find the area between two curves, you want to integrate the height of the space between these two curves, so what you do is the curve on top minus the curve on the bottom. In our case, x - 4 is the above the area between the curve, and x^2 - 4x is below the area between the curve. So the integral looks like this:

\int\limits^4_1 {(x - 4) - (x^2 - 4x)} \, dx

My result is that the area is 9/2, which you can find by simplifying the integral. I'd be happy to do it for you, but using the formula thing on this site is kind of a huge pain. It'll take me a second to write down the work if you need it, but hopefully just seeing how the integral is set up will be enough to get you there!

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

9000 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

He went on a 54 km hike. First, we have to find this distance in metres.

1 km = 1000 m

54 km = 54 * 1000 = 54000 m

He divided the distance evenly over 6 days.

To find how many metres he walked each day, we divide the total distance he hiked by the number of days spent. That is:

54000 / 6 = 9000 metres

He walked 9000 metres each day.

What is 10 of 25%......................................
tia_tia [17]


the math behind it: 
your equation looks like this: .25x = 10 
then you divide both sides by .25 and then ur equation looks like this: x=40 
by the way the variable x stands for the number you are looking for. and since x=40, the number you are looking for is 40 
well i hope i helped!

Your monthly living expenses are $1500 on an income of $1,650 per month. Your goal is to have an emergency fund of 4 times your
Aneli [31]
For the answer to the question above, your end goal is to have $6,000 total in 12 months. since you have $2400 already you can subtract that from 6,000 leaving you with $3600 over the course of 12 months. since you already put $150 in a month over the course of 12 months you would have $1800 which is only half of the goal of $3600. in order for you to put in $3600, you would have to put an additional 150 in your savings along with your regular 150 making Letter B the answer.
