Answer:

The required number is 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Given :-. 50% of a number ( 50% of x ) is added to the number ( x ) the result is 195.

$50\% \: of \: x \: + x = 195 \\ \\ \frac{50}{100} \times x + x = 195 \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} x + x = 195 \\ \\ \frac{3}{2} x = 195 \\ \\ x = 195 \times \frac{2}{3}$

x = 130 !

Let the region R be the area enclosed by the function f(x)=ln(x) and g(x)= 1/2x-2. Find the volume of the solid generated when t

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

$V=61.66$

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the expression for the Volume of a solid with the washer method

$V=\pi \int \limit_a^b[R(x)^2-r(x)^2]dx$

where R and r are the functions f and g respectively (f for the upper bound of the region and r for the lower bound).

Before we have to compute the limits of the integral. We can do that by taking f=g, that is

$f(x)=g(x)\\ln(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

there are two point of intersection (that have been calculated with a software program as Wolfram alpha, because there is no way to solve analiticaly)

x1=0.14

x2=8.21

and because the revolution is around y=-5 we have

$R=ln(x)-(-5)\\r=\frac{1}{2}x-2-(-5)\\$
