Answer:

A. 5x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 5b-2

b =x

We can rewrite the height as

h = 5x-2

We know the formula for area of a triangle

A = 1/2 bh

A =1/2 x * (5x-2)

Distributing the x

A=    1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

We know A =12

12 = 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply each side by 2

12*2 = 2*1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

24 = 5x^2 - 2x

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

0 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

Consider f and c below. f(x, y) = (3 + 4xy2)i + 4x2yj, c is the arc of the hyperbola y = 1/x from (1, 1) to 3, 1 3 (a) find a fu
irga5000 [103]
We want to find a scalar function f(x,y) such that \nabla f(x,y)=\mathbf f(x,y)=\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}\,\mathbf i+\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}\,\mathbf j.
So we need to have
\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=3+4xy^2
Integrating both sides with respect to x gives
f(x,y)=3x+2x^2y^2+g(y)
Differentiating with respect to y gives
\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=4x^2y+\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=4x^2y\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=0\implies g(y)=C
So we find that
f(x,y)=3x+2x^2y^2+C
By the fundamental theorem of calculus, we then know the line integral depends only on the values of f(x,y) at the endpoints of the path. Therefore

\displaystyle\int_{\mathcal C}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=f\left(3,\frac13\right)-f(1,1)=11-5=6
