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

Write the equation in slope intercept form with a slope of 3/4 and passes through (-4,-5)
attashe74 [19]

Answer:Use the slope −2 and the point (−4,−5) to find the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

⇒−5=(−2×−4)+b

⇒−5=8+b

⇒b=−13

Write the equation in slope intercept form as:

y=mx+b

⇒y=(−2)x−13

Hence, the equation of the line is y=−2x−13.

The data below represents the number of minutes Jake and Sarah spent doing chores
hichkok12 [17]
-

The median number of minutes for Jake and Sarah are equal, but the mean numbers are different.

-

For this, you never said the choices, but I’ve done this before, so I’m going to use the answer choices I had, and hopefully they are right.

Our choices are -

• The median number of minutes for Jake is higher than the median number of minutes for Sarah.

• The mean number of minutes for Sarah is higher than the mean number of minutes for Jake.

• The mean number of minutes for Jake and Sarah are equal, but the median number of minutes are different.

• The median number of minutes for Jake and Sarah are equal, but the mean number of minutes are different.

————————

So to answer the question, we neee to find the median and mean for each data set, so -

Jack = [90 median] [89.6 mean]
Sarah = [90 median] [89.5 mean]

We can clearly see the median for both is 90, so we can eliminate all the choices that say they are unequal.

We can also see that Jack has a higher mean (89.6) compared to Sarah (89.5).

We can eliminate all the choices that don’t imply that too.

That leaves us with -

• The median number of minutes for Jake and Sarah are equal, but the mean number of minutes are different.

The sum of the digits of a certain two-digit number is 7. Reversing its digits increase the number by 9. What is the number?
Elis [28]
Let the two numbers be x and y.

According to your question;

x + y = 7
10y + x = 10x + y + 9

By equation 1 ; x = 7-y

Substituting the value of x ;

10y + ( 7 -y) = 10(7-y) + y + 9

9y + 7 = 70 -10y + y + 9

9y + 7 = 70 - 9y + 9

=> 18y = 70 -7 + 9
=> 18y = 72
=> y = 4

Substituting for x ;

x = 7 - y
=> x = 7 -4
=> x = 3

Thus, x = 3 and y = 4;
=> The number is 34.
