Answer:

b = 15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find the interception points of the curves

36 x² = 25

x² = 25/36 = 0.69444

|x| = √(25/36) = 5/6

thus the interception points are 5/6 and -5/6. By evaluating in 0, we can conclude that the curve y=25 is above the other curve and b should be between 0 and 25 (note that 0 is the smallest value of 36 x²).

The area of the bounded region is given by the integral

\int\limits^{5/6}_{-5/6} {(25-36 \, x^2)} \, dx = (25x - 12 \, x^3)\, |_{x=-5/6}^{x=5/6} = 25*5/6 - 12*(5/6)^3 - (25*(-5/6) - 12*(-5/6)^3) = 250/9

The whole region has an area of 250/9. We need b such as the area of the region below the curve y =b and above y=36x^2 is 125/9. The region would be bounded by the points z and -z, for certain z (this is for the symmetry). Also for the symmetry, this region can be splitted into 2 regions with equal area: between -z and 0, and between 0 and z. The area between 0 and z should be 125/18. Note that 36 z² = b, then z = √b/6.

125/18 = \int\limits^{\sqrt{b}/6}_0 {(b - 36 \, x^2)} \, dx = (bx - 12 \, x^3)\, |_{x = 0}^{x=\sqrt{b}/6} = b^{1.5}/6 - b^{1.5}/18 = b^{1.5}/9

125/18 = b^{1.5}/9

b = (62.5²)^{1/3} = 15.75

Evaluate ( f/g)(x) if f(x) = 2x and g(x) = 3x – 2 when x = 2.
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

(f/g)(x)

= \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}

= \frac{2x}{3x-2} ← substitute x = 2 into the expression

= \frac{2(2)}{3(2)-2}

= \frac{4}{6-2}

= \frac{4}{4}

= 1

Help please! <3

-x/2 + 4 > = 6
-x/2 > = 6 - 4
-x/2 > = 2...multiply both sides by -2
x < = -4
_________________________________________
x + 3/2 < 7/4
x < 7/4 - 3/2
x < 7/4 - 6/4
x < 1/4
