Answer:

8.2 *10^5 ft lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Wcoal = 800*500  = 400000 = 4*10^5 ft lb

Wrope =\int\limits^{400}_0 {6(400-y)} \, dy

Using a right Riemann sum

The width of the entire region to be estimated = 400 - 0 = 400

Considering 8 equal subdivisions, then the width of each rectangular division is 400/8 = 50

F(x) = 6(400-y)

\left[\begin{array}{cccccccccc}x&0&50&100&150&200&250&300&350 &400\\f(x)&2400&2100&1800&1500&1200&900&600&300&0\end{array}\right]

Wrope = 50(2100) + 50(1800) + 50(1500) + 50(1200) + 50(900) + 50(600)

+ 50(300) + 50(0) = 420000 = 4.2 * 10^5 ft lb

Note: Riemann sum is an approximation, so may not give a accurate value

work done =  Wcoal + Wrope= 4*10^5+ 4.2 * 10^5 = 8.2 *10^5 ft lb

What are the intercepts of the function?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

x-int: (-1, 0), (-11, 0)

y-int: (0, 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x-int, set equation equal to 0:

x² + 12x + 11

(x + 1)(x + 11)

x = -11, -1

To find y-int, set <em>x</em> = 0

f(0) = 0² + 12(0) = 11

f(0) = 11
