The base of a solid in the xy-plane is the first-quadrant region bounded y = x and y = x^2. Cross sections of the solid perpendi

cular to the x-axis are equilateral triangles. What is the volume, in cubic units, of the solid?

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

<span>(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4. </span>
<span>Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have </span>
<span>[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4 </span>
<span>= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144. </span>

<span>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...

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

1) 28.4 miles per gallon

2) 34 miles per gallon

3) the red car

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

  • <em>Blue car:</em>

<em>Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline</em>

  • <em>Red car:</em>

<em>Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline</em>

<em />

We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:

  • Blue car:

(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon

  • Red car:

(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon

The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline
