In the x-y plane, the base has equation(s)

16x^2+9y^2=144\implies y=\pm\dfrac43\sqrt{9-x^2}

which is to say, the distance (parallel to the y-axis) between the top and the bottom of the ellipse is

\dfrac43\sqrt{9-x^2}-\left(-\dfrac43\sqrt{9-x^2}\right)=\dfrac83\sqrt{9-x^2}

so that at any given x, the cross-section has a hypotenuse whose length is \dfrac83\sqrt{9-x^2}.

The cross-section is an isosceles right triangle, which means the legs occur with the hypotenuse in a ratio of 1 to \sqrt2, so that the legs have length \dfrac8{3\sqrt2}\sqrt{9-x^2}. Then the area of each cross-section is

\dfrac12\left(\dfrac8{3\sqrt2}\sqrt{9-x^2}\right)\left(\dfrac8{3\sqrt2}\sqrt{9-x^2}\right)=\dfrac{16}9(9-x^2)

Then the volume of this solid is

\displaystyle\frac{16}9\int_{-3}^39-x^2\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{64}

In 2021, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) decreased the deductible mileage cost to 56 cents from 57.5 cents. Find the percent
Anon25 [30]

The deductible mileage cost has reduced by 2.16%

What is a percentage change?

A percentage change  compares the difference between the new amount and the old amount to the old amount.

I mean the percentage change is the new deductible mileage cost minus the old deductible mileage cost divided by the old deductible mileage cost

New deductible mileage cost= 57.5 cents

Old deductible mileage cost= 56 cents

percentage decrease=(56-57.5)/57.5

percentage decrease=-2.61%

The negative sign in -2.61% means that there was a percentage decrease in deductible mileage cost by 2.61%

In essence, the deductible mileage cost has been reduced by 2.16%

Hundredth of a percent means two decimal places.

Expand (x-2) (x-1). Must be in polynomial form.
Ludmilka [50]
To expand two terms such as these, we can use the method called FOIL (stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last). Here is what I mean:

We have two terms: (x - 2)(x - 1)

We should first multiply the First two terms of each term in order to complete the F stage:

(x)*(x) = x^{2}

So then, we take the two outer terms and multiply them together to complete the O stage:

(x)*(-1) = -x

So far we have two things that we have calculated; at the end of the FOIL process we will have four.

To keep going with the FOIL, we now multiply the two inner terms to complete the I stage:

(-2)*(x) = -2x

Last but not least, we need to complete the L stage - so we multiply the two last terms of each term:

(-2)*(-1) = 2

Now that we have our four terms, let us add them together and combine like terms:

x^{2}  + (-x) + (-2x) + 2

Since -x and -2x both have the x portion in common and they are added together, we can add them to create one single term:

-x + (-2x) = -3x

So now that we have our terms completed, we can combine into one polynomial equation:

x^{2} + (-3x) + 2 or x^{2} -3x+2

const2013 [10]

Answer:

5/8 of a quart.

Step-by-step explanation:

That would be 28/32 - 1/4

= 28/32 - 8 /32

= 20/32  

= 5/8 of a quart.
