Answer:

3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x+5 Finding the inverse:

y = 2x + 5

2x = y - 5

x = (y - 5)/2

So the inverse f-1(x) = (x - 5)/2

and f-1(8) = (8-5)/2

= 3/2.

Let R = [ 0 , 1 ] × [ 0 , 1 ] R=[0,1]×[0,1]. Find the volume of the region above R R and below the plane which passes through th

Bond [772]

The three vectors $\langle0,0,1\rangle$ , $\langle1,0,8\rangle$ , and $\langle0,1,9\rangle$ each terminate on the plane. We can get two vectors that lie on the plane itself (or rather, point in the same direction as vectors that do lie on the plane) by taking the vector difference of any two of these. For instance,

$\langle1,0,8\rangle-\langle0,0,1\rangle=\langle1,0,7\rangle$

$\langle0,1,9\rangle-\langle0,0,1\rangle=\langle0,1,8\rangle$

Then the cross product of these two results is normal to the plane:

$\langle1,0,7\rangle\times\langle0,1,8\rangle=\langle-7,-8,1\rangle$

Let $(x,y,z)$ be a point on the plane. Then the vector connecting $(x,y,z)$ to a known point on the plane, say (0, 0, 1), is orthogonal to the normal vector above, so that

$\langle-7,-8,1\rangle\cdot(\langle x,y,z\rangle-\langle0,0,1\rangle)=0$

which reduces to the equation of the plane,

$-7x-8y+z-1=0\implies z=7x+8y+1$

Let $z=f(x,y)$ . Then the volume of the region above $R$ and below the plane is

$\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1(7x+8y+1)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\frac{17}2}$

A family has traveled 114 miles of a planned trip. This is 37% of the total distance they must travel on the trip. Find, correct

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The total distance they will travel on their trip is 308 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

114 miles is 37% = 0.37. How many mines are 100% = 1?

114 miles - 0.37

x miles - 1

$0.37x = 114$

$x = \frac{114}{0.37}$

$x = 308.11$

Rounding to the nearest mile

The total distance they will travel on their trip is 308 miles.
