The area of an equilateral triangle of side "s" is s^2*sqrt(3)/4. So the volume of the slices in your problem is
(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4.
Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have
[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4
= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144.
Since this seems quite small, it makes sense to ask what the base area might be...integral from 0 to 1 of (x - x^2) dx = (1/2) - (1/3) = 1/6. Yes, OK, the max height of the triangles occurs where x - x^2 = 1/4, and most of the triangles are quite a bit shorter...
Answer:
(a) 2%
Step-by-step explanation:
A score of 60 is 2 standard deviations below the mean (80 -2·10 = 60). The empirical rule tells you that 95% of the distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The remaining 5% is split evenly between those that are more than 2 SD above the mean and those that are more than 2 SD below the mean.
That tells you the percentage who failed is about 2.5%. The best answer choice is 2%.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The empirical rule is a little bit sloppy, but it gets you in the ballpark. The actual percentage is closer to 2.275%.
3 meters below sea level represents a -3
From -3 to 0 is 3
3 + 5 above sea level = 8 meters
There are 8 meters between the house and the school
Answer:
yes,because parallel line are lines with point which do not meet and the two lines in the plane will not meet nor intersect .
Step-by-step explanation:
obviously a parallel line
