Alright, so let's make both 7/8 and 3/10 into fractions with the same denominator.
The lowest common denominator for both of these is 80.
So, we multiply the top and bottom of 7/8 by 10, and the top and bottom of 3/10 by 8 to get fractions we can compare.
So, we have 70/80 of a candy bar, and we want to make servings of 24/80 each.
How many times can 24 go into 70? 2 times, with a remainder of 22.
So, Tony can make 2 servings.
Answer:
A= 12.5 inches²
Step-by-step explanation:
a=1/2bh
a=1/2(5)5
a=1/2(25)
a= 12.5
First, rewrite the equation so that <em>y</em> is a function of <em>x</em> :

(If you were to plot the actual curve, you would have both
and
, but one curve is a reflection of the other, so the arc length for 1 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 8 would be the same on both curves. It doesn't matter which "half-curve" you choose to work with.)
The arc length is then given by the definite integral,

We have

Then in the integral,

Substitute

This transforms the integral to

and computing it is trivial:

We can simplify this further to
