Answer: 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is determined by dividing the amount of vertical movement by the amount of horizontal movement and then simplifying the answer. In this case it is 15/24. To simplify you need to find the least common denominator (LCD), which is 3, and divide both numbers by it. 15/3=5 and 24/3=8, so the answer is 5/8.

Find the area of the surface. the part of the hyperbolic paraboloid z = y2 − x2 that lies between the cylinders x2 + y2 = 4 and

Nadusha1986 [10]

Call the surface $S$ ; then the area of $S$ is given by the surface integral

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm d\mathbf S$

Parameterize the surface by

$\mathbf r(u,v)=\begin{cases}x(u,v)=u\cos v\\y(u,v)=u\sin v\\z(u,v)=u^2\cos^2v-u^2\sin^2v=u^2\cos2v\end{cases}$

with $2\le u\le4$ and $0\le v\le2\pi$ . The surface element is given by

$\mathrm d\mathbf S=\|\mathbf r_u\times\mathbf r_v\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
$\mathrm d\mathbf S=u\sqrt{1+4u^2}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

So the area is

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}\int_{u=2}^{u=4}u\sqrt{1+4u^2}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
$=\displaystyle2\pi\int_{w=17}^{w=65}\sqrt w\,\frac{\mathrm dw}8$

where $w=1+4u^2\implies\mathrm dw=8u\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\frac\pi4\frac23w^{3/2}\bigg|_{w=17}^{w=65}$
$=\dfrac\pi6\left(65^{3/2}-17^{3/2}\right)\approx237.69$

Jaymile wants to construct congruent angles with a compass and straightedge, while Annie wants to construct congruent segments w

andre [41]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Both will use the straight edge to make segments and use the compass to take measurements.

They will draw a line with a straight edge and will find a starting point, then with a compass:

Annie will take the measurement of the segment and, from the starting point of the line, will put in the other point to obtain the congruent segment.

But in Jaymie's case, she will need to do a little more work with a compass because to build congruent angles, she will need to make a semi-circle in the original angle and transfer this measurement to the new line to construct the angle.

What is the explicit formula for this sequence?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sequence -7, -4, -1, 2, 5....... => a₁ = -7, a₂ = -4, a₃ = -1, a₄ = 2 and a₅ = 5

We conclude that this sequence is arithmetic series.

First we must find difference d:

d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = -4 - (-7) = -1 - (-4) = -4 + 7 = -1 + 4 = 3

d = 3

The formula for n-th term of the arithmetic series is:

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1) d

aₙ = -7 + (n-1) 3

Which container holds the most?

goldenfox [79]

Cylinder:

V = pi * r^2 * h

V = 3.14 * 9^2 * 11

Simplify exponent:

V = 3.14 * 81 * 11

Multiply:

V = 2797.74

Sphere:

V = 4/3 * pi * r^3

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 9^3

Simplify exponent:

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 729

Multiply:

V = 3052.08

Cone:

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 12^2 * 20

Simplify exponent:

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 144 * 20

Multiply:

V = 3014.4

So the Sphere holds the most.
