Consider a circle with radius r centered at some point (R+r,0) on the x-axis. This circle has equation

(x-(R+r))^2+y^2=r^2

Revolve the region bounded by this circle across the y-axis to get a torus. Using the shell method, the volume of the resulting torus is

\displaystyle2\pi\int_R^{R+2r}2xy\,\mathrm dx

where 2y=\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2}-(-\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2})=2\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2}.

So the volume is

\displaystyle4\pi\int_R^{R+2r}x\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2}\,\mathrm dx

Substitute

x-(R+r)=r\sin t\implies\mathrm dx=r\cos t\,\mathrm dt

and the integral becomes

\displaystyle4\pi r^2\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}(R+r+r\sin t)\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt

Notice that \sin t\cos^2t is an odd function, so the integral over \left[-\frac\pi2,\frac\pi2\right] is 0. This leaves us with

\displaystyle4\pi r^2(R+r)\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt

Write

\cos^2t=\dfrac{1+\cos(2t)}2

so the volume is

\displaystyle2\pi r^2(R+r)\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}(1+\cos(2t))\,\mathrm dt=\boxed{2\pi^2r^2(R+r)}

Help asappppp? i’m having trouble on wat the 1/4 point is
blagie [28]

Answer:

  (-14, 5.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps the easiest way to find the 1/4 point is to find (x, y), then find the midpoint between that and M.

  (x, y) = 2M -(13, 25) = 2(-5, 12) -(13, 25) = (-23, -1)

Then the 1/4 point is ...

  ((-23, -1) +M)/2 = ((-23, -1) +(-5, 12))/2 = (-28, 11)/2 = (-14, 5.5)

_____

If we call the end points A(x, y) and B(13, 25), then we know ...

  M = (A+B)/2

  A = 2M -B . . . . we'll need this in a bit

and the 1/4 point Q is such that ...

  (Q -A)/(B -A) = 1/4

  4Q -4A = B -A . . . . cross multipliy

  Q = (B +3A)/4 = (B +3(2M -B))/4 = (6M -2B)/4 . . . . solve for Q

  Q = (3M -B)/2 . . . . reduce the fractions

  Q = (3(-5, 12) -(13, 25))/2 = (-28, 11)/2 = (-14, 5.5) . . . as above

One box of cake mix makes a maximum of 24 cupcakes. A caterer needs 300 cupcakes for an event.
krek1111 [17]
We are given the data that in each box of cupcakes the capacity is a maximum of 24. There are 300 cupcakes required. Hence the number of boxes needed is 300 cupacakes/ 24 cupcakes/ box. The answer is equals to 12. 5. Since there is no such thing as 0.5 box, the answer is rounded up to C. 13
