We can find the answer by solving the two equations simultaneously.

equation 1: y = -0.4x^2 +3xequation 2: x + y = 10
We need to write equation to with y as the subject:equation 2: y = 10 - x

equation 1 = equation 2:
10 - x = -0.4x^2 + 3x0.4x^2 - 4x + 10 = 02x^2 - 20 + 50 = 0(2x - 10)(x - 5) = 0x = -10/2 or x = 5

But x >= 0 (the question says it's a height above the water), so x = 5

Substituting x = 5 into one of the equations:
y = 10 - x
y = 10 - 5
y = 5

So the answer is C

icang [17]

Answer:

V = 128π/3 vu

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that: f(x)₁ = √(4 - x²);  f(x)₂ = -√(4 - x²)

knowing that the volume of a solid is  V=πR²h, where R² (f(x)₁-f(x)₂) and h=dx, then

dV=π(√(4 - x²)+√(4 - x²))²dx;  =π(2√(4 - x²))²dx ⇒

dV= 4π(4-x²)dx , Integrating in both sides

∫dv=4π∫(4-x²)dx , we take ∫(4-x²)dx and we solve

4∫dx-∫x²dx = 4x-(x³/3) evaluated -2≤x≤2 or too 2 (0≤x≤2) , also

∫dv=8π∫(4-x²)dx evaluated 0≤x≤2

V=8π(4x-(x³/3)) = 8π(4.2-(2³/3)) = 8π(8-(8/3)) =(8π/3)(24-8) ⇒

V = 128π/3 vu
