Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$V =\dfrac{25\pi}{\sqrt{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

y=5√sinx

Volume of the solid by revolving

$V = \int_a^b(\pi y^2)dx$

a and b are the limits of the integrals

now,

$V = \int_a^b(\pi (5\sqrt{sinx})^2)dx$

$V =25\pi \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}sinxdx$

$\int sin x = - cos x$

$V =25\pi [-cos x]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}$

$V =25\pi [-cos (\pi/2)+cos(\pi/4)]$

$V =25\pi [0+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]$

$V =\dfrac{25\pi}{\sqrt{2}}$

volume of the solid generated is equal to $V =\dfrac{25\pi}{\sqrt{2}}$

zimovet [89]

Answer:

capacity of the container is 4 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that a container of the coffee is $\frac{1}{6}$ full

And it contains $\frac{2}{3}$ of a pound so $\frac{2}{3}$ pound

It means $\frac{1}{6}$ f of container contain $\frac{2}{3}$ pound coffee

So capacity of the container is $\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}}=4pound$

So capacity of the container is 4 pound

Which expression shows how 8•54 can be rewritten using the distributive property ?

konstantin123 [22]

The distributive property is a(b+c) = ab + ac or a(b-c) = ab - ac

So here are some potential answers:

8(50 + 4) = 8·50 + 8·4

8(60 - 6) = 8·60 - 8·6
