Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

y = 7x - 4x² 

<span>7x - 4x² = 0 </span>

<span>x(7 - 4x) = 0 </span>

<span>x = 0, 7/4 </span>

<span>Find the area of the bounded region... </span>

<span>A = ∫ 7x - 4x² dx |(0 to 7/4) </span>

<span>A = 7/2 x² - 4/3 x³ |(0 to 7/4) </span>

<span>A = 7/2(7/4)² - 4/3(7/4)³ - 0 = 3.573 </span>

<span>Half of this area is 1.786, now set up an integral that is equal to this area but bounded by the parabola and the line going through the origin... </span>

<span>y = mx + c </span>

<span>c = 0 since it goes through the origin </span>

<span>The point where the line intersects the parabola we shall call (a, b) </span>

<span>y = mx ===> b = m(a) </span>

<span>Slope = m = b/a </span>

<span>Now we need to integrate from 0 to a to find the area bounded by the parabola and the line... </span>

<span>1.786 = ∫ 7x - 4x² - (b/a)x dx |(0 to a) </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)x² - (4/3)x³ - (b/2a)x² |(0 to a) </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)a² - (4/3)a³ - (b/2a)a² - 0 </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)a² - (4/3)a³ - b(a/2) </span>

<span>Remember that (a, b) is also a point on the parabola so y = 7x - 4x² ==> b = 7a - 4a² </span>
<span>Substitute... </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)a² - (4/3)a³ - (7a - 4a²)(a/2) </span>

<span>1.786 = (7/2)a² - (4/3)a³ - (7/2)a² + 2a³ </span>

<span>(2/3)a³ = 1.786 </span>

<span>a = ∛[(3/2)(1.786)] </span>

<span>a = 1.39 </span>

<span>b = 7(1.39) - 4(1.39)² = 2.00 </span>

<span>Slope = m = b/a = 2.00 / 1.39 = 1.44</span>

Simplify the product (x-4)(x+3)
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Final answer is x^2-x-12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is \left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right).

Now we need to find the product of the given expression \left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right).

\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)

=x\left(x-4\right)+3\left(x-4\right)

=x^2-4x+3x-12

combine like terms

=x^2-1x-12

=x^2-x-12

Hence final answer is x^2-x-12.

PLEASE HELP!
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formulae directly

For a cone, with base radius = r and height = h, here are the related formula

\textrm{Slant height  l} = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}  (1)

\textrm{Lateral surface area} = \pi r l

\textrm {Base area} = \pi r^2

\textrm { Total Surface Area SA} = \textrm{Base Area + Lateral Area} = \pi r^2 + \pi rl = \pi r(r + l) (2)

\textrm{Volume V = } (1/3)  \pi r^2h (3)

Therefore directly plugging in the numbers in the above equations:

Note:

l = slant height in cm
SA = total surface area in sqcm
V = Volume in cubic cm

Figure(a)

r = 4, h = 8

\textrm{l} = \sqrt{4^2 + 8^2} =\sqrt{80} = 8.944 \\\textrm{SA}  = 4\pi(4 + 8.944) =  4\pi(12.944) = 162.66\\\textrm{V} = (1/3)\pi(4^2)(8) = 134.04

Figure(b)

r = 7, h =15

\textrm{l} = \sqrt{7^2 + 15^2} =\sqrt{274} = 16.55

\textrm{SA}  = 7\pi(7 + 16.55) =  517.89

Figure (c)

r = 5, l = 8

h = \sqrt{l^2 - r^2} = \sqrt{8^2 - 5^2} = \sqrt{39} = 6.245\\SA = \textrm{SA}  = 5\pi(5 + 8) =  204.2\\V = (1/3)\pi(5^2)(6.245) = 163.5
