Step-by-step explanation:
I got 12 for the answer.
Is this a multiple choice question? If so...what are the options?
If
<em>f(x)</em> = <em>ax</em> ³ + <em>bx</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 9
then
<em>f '(x)</em> = 3<em>ax </em>² + 2<em>bx</em> - 5
Given that <em>f</em> (-1) = 12 and <em>f</em> '(-1) = 3, we get the system of equations
-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + 5 + 9 = 12
3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> - 5 = 3
or
-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -2
3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = 8
Multiply through the first equation by 2 and add it to the second one to eliminate <em>b</em> and solve for <em>a</em> :
2(-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) + (3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em>) = 2(-2) + 8
-2<em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em> + 3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = -4 + 8
<em>a</em> = 4
Substitute this into the first equation above to solve for <em>b</em> :
-4 + <em>b</em> = -2
<em>b</em> = 2
Answer:
a. 113.1 cm^3.
b. 339.29 cm^3.
c. 18 cm.
d. 508.94 cm^3.
e. 169.65 cm^3.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. (4/3) * pi * (3^3) = (4/3) * pi * 27 = 36 * pi = 113.0973355, which is about 113.1 
.
b. 113.0973355 * 3 = 339.2920066, which is about 339.29 cm^3.
c. Since the radius of a tennis ball is 3 cm, the diameter is 6 cm. There are three tennis balls, and the diameters added up become the height of the cylinder. 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 cm.
d. pi * (3^2) * 18 = pi * 9 * 18 = pi * 162 = 508.9380099, which is about 508.94 cm^3.
e. 508.9380099 - 339.2920066 = 169.6460033, which is about 169.65 cm^3.
Hope this helps!!
Y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. If we were to consider a line of best fit that would represent all these points with a linear line, it'd cross the y-axis with a y-value of 10, so we can fill in y = mx + b to y = mx + 10. Now, it runs down from left to right, so we know the slope must be negative. The only equation that fits this description is y= -3/4x + 10
