Answer:

y = -2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line could be represented as original form:

y = ax + b

Let's pick the first 2 pairs of numbers in the table: (x, y) = (1, 5) and (x, y) = (2, 3).

=> 5 = a*1 + b

3 = a*2 + b

Subtract the 1st equation from the 2nd equation, we have:

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

-2 = a

Substitute a = -2 into the 1st equation, we have:

5 = (-2)*1 + b

5 = -2 + b

b = 2 + 5 = 7

=> Substitute a = -2 and b = 7 into original form, the equation that represents the data shown in the table is:

y = -2x + 7

Hope this helps!

The base of a solid in the region bounded by the two parabolas y2 = 8x and x2 = 8y. Cross sections of the solid perpendicular to

Usimov [2.4K]

The two curves intersect at two points, (0, 0) and (8, 8):

$x^2=8y\implies y=\dfrac{x^2}8$

$y^2=\dfrac{x^4}{64}=8x\implies\dfrac{x^4}{64}-8x=0\implies\dfrac{x(x-8)(x^2+8x+64)}{64}=0$

$\implies x=0,x=8\implies y=0,y=8$

The area of a semicircle with diameter $d$ is $\dfrac{\pi d^2}8$ . The diameter of each cross-section is determined by the vertical distance between the two curves for any given value of $x$ between 0 and 8. Over this interval, $y^2=8x\implies y=\sqrt{8x}$ and $\sqrt{8x}>\dfrac{x^2}8$ , so the volume of this solid is given by the integral
