ANSWER

$x= 9 \: in$

EXPLANATION

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula,

$V = l \times b \times h$
We substitute the dimensions to obtain,

$V = 6 \times 3 \times 12 \: {in}^{3}$

The volume of the rectangular pyramid is,

$V = \frac{1}{3} \times 6 \times 12 \times x \: {in}^{3}$

Equating the two volumes gives,

$\frac{1}{3} \times 6 \times 12 \times x = 6 \times 3 \times 12$

We divide through by 6×12 to get,

$\frac{x}{3}=3$

We solve for x to obtain,

$x = 3 \times 3$

$x = 9 \: in$

Answer:

33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are both primes, the least common factor of 11 and 3 is 11 times 3, which is 33. Therefore, Camryn will practice the trumpet and flute on the same day 33 days in the future.

Imagine that you are given two linear equations in slope-intercept form. You notice that the slopes are the same, but the y-inte

Hitman42 [59]

If two lines have the same slope and different intercepts, then they will never cross each other; they are parallel lines. Therefore, they have no solutions since a solution is where the lines cross.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point ( − 4 , 8 )and has a slope of − 1/4

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

y = -1/4x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the point and slope into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

8 = -1/4(-4) + b

8 = 1 + b

7 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b:

y = mx + b

y = -1/4x + 7

So, the equation of the line is y = -1/4x + 7

Use the Trapezoidal Rule, the Midpoint Rule, and Simpson's Rule to approximate the given integral with the specified value of n.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Split up the integration interval into 4 subintervals:

$\left[0,\dfrac\pi8\right],\left[\dfrac\pi8,\dfrac\pi4\right],\left[\dfrac\pi4,\dfrac{3\pi}8\right],\left[\dfrac{3\pi}8,\dfrac\pi2\right]$

The left and right endpoints of the $i$ -th subinterval, respectively, are

$\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}4\left(\dfrac\pi2-0\right)=\dfrac{(i-1)\pi}8$

$r_i=\dfrac i4\left(\dfrac\pi2-0\right)=\dfrac{i\pi}8$

for $1\le i\le4$ , and the respective midpoints are

$m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{(2i-1)\pi}8$

Trapezoidal rule

We approximate the (signed) area under the curve over each subinterval by

$T_i=\dfrac{f(\ell_i)+f(r_i)}2(\ell_i-r_i)$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4T_i\approx\boxed{3.038078}$

Midpoint rule

We approximate the area for each subinterval by

$M_i=f(m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4M_i\approx\boxed{2.981137}$

Simpson's rule

We first interpolate the integrand over each subinterval by a quadratic polynomial $p_i(x)$ , where

$p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx$

It so happens that the integral of $p_i(x)$ reduces nicely to the form you're probably more familiar with,

$S_i=\displaystyle\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{r_i-\ell_i}6(f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i))$

Then the integral is approximately

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4S_i\approx\boxed{3.000117}$

Compare these to the actual value of the integral, 3. I've included plots of the approximations below.
