Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work.
In 1 hour, the 12 men will finish 1/6 of the work
( 1 job ) / ( 6 hrs ) = ( 1/6 of a job ) / ( 1 hr )
-----------------------------------------
That means there is of the job
left to do.
-------------------
If 12 men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work,
1 man will take 12 times as long, to finish the work, so
( 1 job ) / ( 6*12 = 72 hrs ) = rate of working for 1 man, or

-------------------
After 1 hour, there are a total of men working
20 men will work 20 times as fast as 1 man on the
of a job that remains, so
Let = hours for the 20 men to finish the job

Find the area bounded by the graphs of the indicated equations over the given interval.
NeX [460]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0

is basically the horizontal axis.

First, find the integral of x^2-25.

Remember that

integral of a constant is that constant times x.

Also that

to take the integral of a power function, add 1 to the degree and divide by that same degree.

y =  {x}^{2}  - 25

We then get

\frac{ {x}^{3} }{3}  - 25x

Evaluate at -3

\frac{ - 3 {}^{3} }{3}  - 25( - 3)

- 27 + 75 = 48

Then we evaluate at 0

\frac{0 {}^{3} }{3}  - 25(0) = 0

Next, we subtract the the answer then we get

48 - 0 = 48
