A rental car company is running two specials. Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $2 for each add

itional day, or they can rent the same car for $25 the first day and $5 for every additional day beyond that. Farid notices that, given the number of additional days he wants to rent the car for, the two specials are equivalent. How many additional days does Farid want?

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem is 40 + 2x = 25 + 5x

Now, to solve for x you first need to subtract 25 from each side:

15 + 2x = 5x

Next, subtract 2x from each side:

15 = 3x

Finally, divide both sides by 3:

5 = x

Farid is renting the car for 5 additional days.

Irene places a mirror on the ground 24ft away from the base of an oak tree. She walks backward until she can see the top of the
soldier1979 [14.2K]
First, illustrate the problem:

24 feet is the distance between the tree and the mirror. 
4 feet is the distance from Irene's eyes to the mirror. 
5.5 feet is the distance of Irene's eyes from the ground.
4 feet is the distance of Irene from the mirror

From this, we can draw a right triangle and then use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height of the oak tree. Also, we have an option to use ratio and proportion between two similar triangles.

Use calculus to find the volume of the following solid S:
Sveta_85 [38]

I assume the base of S is the disk centered at the origin, or x² + y² ≤ r². Solving for y gives two solutions corresponding to the upper and lower halves of the circular boundary,

x^2+y^2 = r^2 \implies y = \pm \sqrt{r^2-x^2}

and the vertical distance between them - i.e. the side length of each cross section - is

\sqrt{r^2-x^2} - \left(-\sqrt{r^2-x^2}\right) = 2\sqrt{r^2-x^2}

Then the volume of each square cross section 4 (r² - x²) ∆x, and the volume of S is

\displaystyle \int_{-r}^r 4(r^2-x^2) \, dx

By symmetry, this is the same as

\displaystyle 8 \int_0^r (r^2-x^2) \, dx

which gives a volume of

\displaystyle 8 \int_0^r (r^2-x^2) \, dx = 8 \left(r^3 - \frac{r^3}3\right) = \boxed{\frac{16r^3}3}
