3'=3*12=36"
2'=2*12=24"
Area = 36" * 24" = 864 sq. in.

Which value of x makes the open sentence true?

xeze [42]

Answer:

x=1/2 or 0.5

B. 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one: Add x to both sides

you then get the equation 7=4x+5

Step two: subtract 5 from both sides

you then get the equation 2=4x

Divide both sides by 4 to undo the multiplication.

2/4=4x/4x

you get x=2/4 which simplifies to 1/2.

Find the area of the helicoid (or spiral ramp) with vector equation r(u, v) = ucos(v) i + usin(v) j + v k, 0 ≤ u ≤ 1, 0 ≤ v ≤ 9π

Natasha2012 [34]

Let $H$ denote the helicoid parameterized by

$\mathbb r(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf j+v\,\mathbf k$

for $0\le u\le1$ and $0\le v\le9\pi$ . The surface area is given by the surface integral,

$\displaystyle\iint_H\mathrm dS=\iint_H\|\mathbf r_u\times\mathbf r_v\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

We have

$\mathbf r_u=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r(u,v)}{\partial u}=\cos v\,\mathbf i+\sin v\,\mathbf j$
$\mathbf r_v=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r(u,v)}{\partial v}=-u\sin v\,\mathbf i+u\cos v\,\mathbf j+\mathbf k$
$\implies\mathbf r_u\times\mathbf r_v=\sin v\,\mathbf i-\cos v\,\mathbf j+u\,\mathbf k$
$\implies\|\mathbf r_u\times\mathbf r_v\|=\sqrt{1+u^2}$

So the area of $H$ is

$\displaystyle\iint_H\mathrm dS=\int_{v=0}^{v=9\pi}\int_{u=0}^{u=1}\sqrt{1+u^2}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
$=\dfrac{9(\sqrt2+\sinh^{-1}(1))\pi}2$
