Hello, we need to see it as a difference of two squares as we know that for all a and b real numbers

$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

So, here

$9x^2-4=(3x)^2-2^2=(3x-2)(3x+2)$

Voila !

Thank you

Find the volume of the solid of revolution generated by revolving the region bounded by y = 2x^2, y = 0, and x = 2 about the x-a

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$128 \pi/5 units^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the solid revolution is expressed as;

$V = \int\limits^2_0 {\pi y^2} \, dx$

Given y = 2x²

y² = (2x²)²

y² = 4x⁴

Substitute into the formula

$V = \int\limits^2_0 {4\pi x^4} \, dx\\V =4\pi \int\limits^2_0 { x^4} \, dx\\V = 4 \pi [\frac{x^5}{5} ]\\$

Substituting the limits

$V = 4 \pi ([\frac{2^5}{5}] - [\frac{0^5}{5}])\\V = 4 \pi ([\frac{32}{5}] - 0)\\V = 128 \pi/5 units^3$

Hence the volume of the solid is $128 \pi/5 units^3$

Find the smallest zero for the function h(x)=4x^2-8x-60.

ankoles [38]

H(x) = 4x² - 8x - 60
0 = 4x² - 8x - 60
  0 = 4(x²) - 4(2x) - 4(15)
  0 = 4(x² - 2x - 15)
4 4
0 = x² - 2x - 15
0 = x² - 5x + 3x - 15
0 = x(x) - x(5) + 3(x) - 3(5)
0 = x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5)
0 = (x + 3)(x - 5)
0 = x + 3 or 0 = x - 5
- 3 - 3 + 5 + 5
3 = x    or    5 = x
