Answer:

a_n = 2.2 + 0.6 n

a_50 = 32.2

Step-by-step explanation:

What's the common difference of this series?

$a_1 = 2.8$

$a_2 = 3.4$

Common difference = $a_2 - a_1 = 3.4 - 2.8 = 0.6$ .

Expression for the nth term:

$a_n = a_1 + (n - 1) \cdot\text{Common Difference} \\\phantom{a_n } = 2.8 + 0.6 \; (n-1) \\\phantom{a_n} = 2.8 + 0.6 \; n - 0.6\\\phantom{a_n} = 2.2 + 0.6\; n$

n = 50 for the fiftieth term. Therefore

$a_{50} = 2.2 + 0.6 \times 50 = 32.2$ .

x = 12√1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of sines.

12/sin45 = x/sin60

x = 12(½√3) / (½√2)

x = 12√3/√2

x = 12√1.5

Find the volume of the following solid. The solid between the cylinder f(x,y)equals=e Superscript negative xe−x and the region

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

It is hard to comprehend your question. As far as I understand:

f(x,y) = e^(-x)

Find the volume over region R = {(x,y): 0<=x<=ln(6), -6<=y <= 6}.

That is all I understood. It would be easier to understand with a picture or some kind of visual aid.

Anyways, to find the volume between the surface and your rectangular region R, we must evaluate a double integral of f on the region R.

$\iint_{R}^{ } e^{-x}dA=\int_{-6}^{6} \int_{0}^{ln(6)} e^{-x}dx dy$
