let the numbers x and y

sum of two numbers is x + y = 15 eq 1

given { one number is 3 less than so : y = x-3}

put in equation

x + x -3 = 15

2x - 3 = 15

2x = 18

x = 9

y = ( x-3 ) = ( 9 -3) = 6

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$V=9\pi\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by graphing the given function and finding the differential area we will use to set our integral up. (See attached picture).

The formula we will use for this problem is the following:

$V=\int\limits^b_a {\pi r^{2}} \, dy$

where:

$r=6-(6-3 sec(y))$

$r=3 sec(y)$

a=0

$b=\frac{\pi}{3}$

so the volume becomes:

$V=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{3}_0 {\pi (3 sec(y))^{2}} \, dy$

This can be simplified to:

$V=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{3}_0 {9\pi sec^{2}(y)} \, dy$

and the integral can be rewritten like this:

$V=9\pi\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{3}_0 {sec^{2}(y)} \, dy$

which is a standard integral so we solve it to:

$V=9\pi[tan y]\limits^\frac{\pi}{3}_0$

so we get:

$V=9\pi[tan \frac{\pi}{3} - tan 0]$

which yields:

$V=9\pi\sqrt{3}$ ]

Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

STatiana [176]

We can find the acceleration via

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

We have

$\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}$

Then by definition of average acceleration,

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t$

so that

$-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

$v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2$

Then

$\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$
