Assuming the figure has identifiable bases and sides, the total surface area is the sum of the areas of those:

... B. Base area + lateral area

The surface area of any object is the sum of all areas on the object itself, and thus it cannot be D. This would include both the base area and the lateral areas. And thus the correct answer would be B.

What is the scale factor? See attachment.

ale4655 [162]

A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x.

All computers are on sale for 10% off the original price. If x is the original price of the computer, then the function that rep

prohojiy [21]

So the original price is "x".

the discounted price by 10% is P(x) = 0.9x.

the price minus a $150 coupon is C(x) = x - 150.

so, if you go to the store, the item is discounted by 10%, so you're really only getting out of your pocket 90% of that, or 0.9x, but!!! wait a minute!! you have a $150 coupon, and you can use that for the purchase, so you're really only getting out of your pocket 0.9x - 150, namely the discounted by 10% and then the saving from the coupon.

C( P(x) ) = P(x) - 150

C( P(x) ) = 0.9x - 150

Use Simpson's Rule with n = 10 to estimate the arc length of the curve. Compare your answer with the value of the integral produ

SOVA2 [1]

$y=\ln(6+x^3)\implies y'=\dfrac{3x^2}{6+x^3}$

The arc length of the curve is

$\displaystyle\int_0^5\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}\,\mathrm dx$

which has a value of about 5.99086.

Let $f(x)=\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}$ . Split up the interval of integration into 10 subintervals,

[0, 1/2], [1/2, 1], [1, 3/2], ..., [9/2, 5]

The left and right endpoints are given respectively by the sequences,

$\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}2$

$r_i=\dfrac i2$

with $1\le i\le10$ .

These subintervals have midpoints given by

$m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{2i-1}4$

Over each subinterval, we approximate $f(x)$ with the quadratic polynomial

$p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$
