F(-3)=121=112-k(-3)

121=112+3k
minus 112 both sides
9=3k
divide by 3
k=3

Answer: The required value of k is 3.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of k in the following function f(x) if $f(-3)=121:$

$f(x)=112-kx~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Substituting x = -3 in equation (i), we get

$f(-3)=112-k\times(-3)\\\\\Rightarrow 121=112+3k\\\\\Rightarrow 3k=121-112\\\\\Rightarrow 3k=9\\\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{9}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow k=3.$

Thus, the required value of k is 3.

Find the volume of the solid generated when R (shaded region) is revolved about the given line. x=6−3sec y, x=6, y= π 3, and

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$V=9\pi\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by graphing the given function and finding the differential area we will use to set our integral up. (See attached picture).

The formula we will use for this problem is the following:

$V=\int\limits^b_a {\pi r^{2}} \, dy$

where:

$r=6-(6-3 sec(y))$

$r=3 sec(y)$

a=0

$b=\frac{\pi}{3}$

so the volume becomes:

$V=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{3}_0 {\pi (3 sec(y))^{2}} \, dy$

This can be simplified to:

$V=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{3}_0 {9\pi sec^{2}(y)} \, dy$

and the integral can be rewritten like this:

$V=9\pi\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{3}_0 {sec^{2}(y)} \, dy$

which is a standard integral so we solve it to:

$V=9\pi[tan y]\limits^\frac{\pi}{3}_0$

so we get:

$V=9\pi[tan \frac{\pi}{3} - tan 0]$

which yields:

$V=9\pi\sqrt{3}$ ]

You are going to roll two dice. Let the variable x = the sum of the numbers rolled. What is the probability that x = 9 ?

Vladimir79 [104]

The first cube can land in any one of 6 ways.
The second cube can land in any one of 6 ways.
Total number of ways that 2 dice can land = (6 x 6) = 36 ways.

For any of these ways, the sum of the numbers rolled is 9 :

3, 6
4, 5
5, 4
6, 3

There are 4 ways to roll a 9, out of a total of 36 ways that
the dice can land. So the probability of rolling a 9 is

4 / 36 = 1 / 9 = <em>11-1/9 percent</em>

Nine and one half less than four and one half times a number is greater than 62,5. Which of the following represents

morpeh [17]

Answer: (16,O0) That is 16 to positive infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5x - 9.5 > 62.5

4.5x > 62,5 + 9.5

4.5x > 72

x > 72/ 4.5

x> 16

So all real numbers greater than 16 is the solution set.

(16,O0)

I wish I had the infinity symbol on this keyboard!
