This question is incomplete. Please find attached to this solved question, the diagram required to solve this question.

Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded portion of the rectangle forms the shape of a trapezium

The area of a trapezium = 1/2(a + b)h

From the diagram, we can see than x = b

a = 7 units

b = 7 units

Area of the trapezium = Area of the shaded portion = 63 square units

A = 1/2(a + b)h

63 = 1/2(7 + b)7

63 = 1/2(49 + 7b)

63 × 2 = 49 + 7b

126 - 49 = 7b

7b = 77

b = 77/7

b = 11 units

Since x = b, x = 11 units

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation.<br> 2x2 + 11x+15= 0

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The two values of x are -2.5 and -3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$2x^{2}+11x+15=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$a=2\\b=11\\c=15$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-11(+/-)\sqrt{11^{2}-4(2)(15)}} {2(2)}$

$x=\frac{-11(+/-)\sqrt{1}} {4}$

$x=\frac{-11(+/-)1} {4}$

$x_1=\frac{-11(+)1} {4}=-2.5$

$x_2=\frac{-11(-)1} {4}=-3$

therefore

The two values of x are -2.5 and -3

Using disks or washers, find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the curves y=x−1 y=0 x=2 and x=5

Irina-Kira [14]

Using disks ...
$V= \pi \int\limits^5_2 {(x-1)^{2}} \, dx =\pi(\frac{1}{3}(5^{3}-2^{3})-(5^{2}-2^{2})+(5-2))=21\pi$

The volume is 21π units³ ≈ 65.97 units³
