The base of a solid in the first quadrant of the xy plane is a right triangle bounded by the coordinate axes and the line x + y

The area of an equilateral triangle of side "s" is s^2*sqrt(3)/4. So the volume of the slices in your problem is 

(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4. 

Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have 

[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4 

= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144. 

Since this seems quite small, it makes sense to ask what the base area might be...integral from 0 to 1 of (x - x^2) dx = (1/2) - (1/3) = 1/6. Yes, OK, the max height of the triangles occurs where x - x^2 = 1/4, and most of the triangles are quite a bit shorter...

Solve the equation 0.4+0.5=-4.7-0.6z
Charra [1.4K]
0.9 = -4.7 - 0.6z
0.9 + 4.7 = -0.6z
5.6 = -0.6z
z = 5.6 ÷ -0.6
z = -9.33

A total of 480 were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or students tickets. The number of student tickets
Talja [164]

Ok so basically, the number of student tickets is 3x, where x=the number of adult tickets sold. And we know that s(for student tickets)+x=480 total tickets sold. So if we replace s with 3x we have 3x+x=480, or 4x=480. We divide by 4 and get x=120, which is the amount of adult tickets sold.

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words for numbers.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

x=-16

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

x = 8a

which was written to find the value of x.

We have to find the value of x when the value of a is inserted as -2

So, putting the value

x = 8(-2)

x= -16

So the value of x when a = -2 is -16 ..
