Answer:

  a = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the triangle with a base of 4-1 = 3 units to have an area of 3 square units, the height of it must be 2. Since the parabola opens downward, the y-intercept of the equation must be -2. Filling in known values for that point, we have ...

  -2 = a(0 -1)(0 -4)

  -2 = 4a . . . . . . . . . simplify

  -2/4 = a = -1/2

Calculate X3 dx .<br><br>A.×2 + c<br>B. 3X2 + c<br>c . x4 + c<br>D . x4/4+c
olga nikolaevna [1]
\LARGE \int x^3 dx = \frac{x^4}{4}+C

So the answer is choice D. You can check this by differentiating the right hand side and you'll get x^3 back again. 

This answer can be found by using the power rule for integrals. That rule is

\LARGE \int x^n dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C

On the graph of the equation 5x - y = 8, the point whose y-coordinate is 7 has an x-coordinates of ?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-coordinate, substitute y = 8 into the equation abd solve for x

5x - 7 = 8 ( add 7 to both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

Thus (3, 7) is a solution to the equation

The median price, P, of a home rose from $50 thousand in 1980 to $150 thousand in 2000. Let t be the number of years since 1980.
Assoli18 [71]
150,000 = 50000a^20
a^20 = 150000/50000 = 3
a = 20th root of 3 = 1.056467

Required equation is P = 50000(1.056467)^t
