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

Tony’s Electronics is marking down the price of a TV 23% from the original price of $175. Which expression can be used to find t
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The sale price is \$134.75

The expression is \$175(0.77)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sale price is equal to subtract the discount price from the original price

The discount price is equal to multiply the original price by the percent discount in decimal form

Let

x ----> the sale price

y ---> discount price

23\%=23/100=0.23 ----> percent discount in decimal form

y=\$175(0.23)=\$40.25

x=\$175-y

substitute

x=\$175-\$40.25=\$134.75

therefore

the expression is

175-0.23(175)\\175(1-0.23)\\175(0.77)

The volume of a right circular cone is 300 cubic inches. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

900 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given the following data </u>

Volume of right circular cone = 300in³

We know that the volume of a right circular cone is given by the formula;

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h

Where;

  • V is the volume of right circular cone.
  • r is the radius of the base of the right circular cone.
  • h is the height of the right circular cone.

The volume of a right circular cylinder is given by the formula;

V = \pi r^{2}h

Thus, multiplying the volume of the right circular cone by 3 would give us the volume of the right circular cylinder.

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h * 3

<em>Substituting into the equation, we have;</em>

V = 300 * 3

V = 900in³

<em>Therefore, the volume of a right cylinder that has the same base and height as the cone is 900 cubic inches.</em>

(WILL MARK BRAINIEST PLEASE ASSIST) Define the inverse secant function by restricting the domain of the secant function to the i
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

  see the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph attached shows the secant function in red. The restriction to the interval [0, π/2] is highlighted by green dots, and the corresponding inverse function is shown by a green curve.

The restriction to the interval [π/2, π] is highlighted by purple dots, and the corresponding inverse function is shown in purple.

The dashed orange line at y=x is the line over which a function and its inverse are mirror images of each other.

mei has 8 jars of soup .Each jar contains 300 milliliters of soup. What is the smallest pot Mei can use to heat all the soup
laiz [17]

Mei has 8 jars and each is 300ml

so she will need to times 8 by 300ml = 2400ml.

She needs a pot that holds 2400ml at least

(Actually, she needs a bigger pot because it needs to hold 2400ml so if the pot is that size the liquid will spill)
