y = x² has a lower bound at the vertex (0, 0); <em> y = 0</em>

y = 9 has an upper bound at y = 9

x² = 9   ⇒  x = +/- 3  the region is bounded on the left at x = -3 and on the right at x = 3

Solve the integral from -3 to 3 to find the area under the curve, then multiply by 1/3 to calculate 1/3 of the area.

\int\limits^3_3 (9 - {x^{2}}) \, dx = (9x - x³/3) | from -3 to 3

= (9(3) - 3³/3) - (9(-3) - (-3)³/3)

= (27 - 9) - (- 27 - (-9))

= 16 - (-16)

= 32

*** 32/3 is 1/3 of the area ****

Now that we know what 1/3 of the area is, we can find the height <em>at y = a</em> which will satisfy 1/3 of the area. We do this by solving the integral from "0 to a" and setting it equal to 1/3 of the area (32/3).

\int\limits^a_0 (9 - {x^{2}}) \, dx - a(9 - a²)

=  (9x - x³/3) | from 0 to a   - (9a - a³)

= (9a - a³/3) - (9(0) - (0)³/3) - 9a + a³

= 9a - a³/3 - 9a + a³

= a³ - a³/3

= 2a³/3

32/3 = 2a³/3

32 = 2a³

16 = a³

∛16 = a  

2∛2 = a  (This is the distance from the upper bound (y = 9)

Answer: y = 9 - 2∛2

Follow the same steps using 2/3 of the area (64/3) to find "b".

64 = 2b³

32 = b³

∛32 = b   3.17

2∛4 = b  (This is the distance from the upper bound (y = 9)

Answer: y = 9 - 2∛4

A number is greater than 8. The same number is less than 10. The inequalities x greater-than 8 and x less-than 10 represent the
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

There are a few solutions because there are some fractions and decimals between 8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be 'x'

If the number is greater than 8 and the same number is less than 10, this can be expressed as;

x>8 and x < 10

Note that if x>8, then 8<x

The resulting inequalities are now;

8<x and x<10

Combining both inequalities we have: 8<x<10

Since the inequality didn't tell us that the variable 'x' is equal to 8 and 10, this means that our solution falls between 8 and 10 and the value of integer that falls within this range is 9. Other values that falls within this range are decimals and fractions.

Therefore it can be concluded that there are a few solutions because there are some fractions and decimals between 8 and 10

A sum of rs 400 is lent for 3 yrs at the rate of 6% per annum. Find the interest.
Nimfa-mama [501]
Interest is equal to rs 72

Simple Interest is computed by multiplying the principal to the interest rate and the time.

I = P * r * t

Principal = rs 400
Interest rate = 6%
Term / time = 3 yrs

I = 400 * 6% * 3
I = 72   the total interest that must be paid in 3 yrs.

Answer:

multiply 3x-2(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS

also you must simplify both sides to solve this problem and that's the first step to simplifying this side (the other one is simplified)
