A rectangle has an area of 14 square centimeters. It's length is five cm greater than its width. Find the dimensions.

1 answer:

8 0

//Use algebra to find work out the size

14 = w * l
l = 5 + w
14 = w * (5 + w)
14 = 5w + w^2
0 = w^2 + 5w - 14
0 = (w - 2) (w + 7)
=> w = 2cm (as it cannot be negative)

l = w + 5
l = 7cm

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 11=\frac{8+u}{7.68}\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 11 = \frac{8 + u}{ \frac{192}{25} } \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 11=\frac{(8+u)×25}{192}\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 11=\frac{200+25u}{192}\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 2112=200+25u\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 2112-25u=200\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto -25u=200-2112\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto -25u=-1912\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto u=\frac{1912}{25}\end{gathered}$

sand falls from an overhead bin and accumulates in a conical pile with a radius that is always four times its height. suppose th

blagie [28]

Answer:

$\frac{dv}{dt} =7239.168 cm/sec$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Rate $\frac{dh}{dt}=1cm$

Height $h=12cm$

Radius $r=4h$

Generally the equation for Volume of Cone is mathematically given by

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (4h)^2h$

Differentiating

$\frac{dv}{dt} =\frac{16}{3}\pi3h^2\frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{dv}{dt} =\frac{16}{3}*3.142*3*12^2*1$

$\frac{dv}{dt} =7239.168 cm/sec$

use the general slicing method to find the volume of The solid whose base is the triangle with vertices (0 comma 0 ), (15 comma

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

volume V of the solid

$\boxed{V=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation is depicted in the picture attached

(see picture)

First, we divide the segment [0, 5] on the X-axis into n equal parts of length 5/n each

[0, 5/n], [5/n, 2(5/n)], [2(5/n), 3(5/n)],..., [(n-1)(5/n), 5]

Now, we slice our solid into n slices.

Each slice is a quarter of cylinder 5/n thick and has a radius of

-k(5/n) + 5 for each k = 1,2,..., n (see picture)

So the volume of each slice is

$\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-k(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}$

for k=1,2,..., n

We then add up the volumes of all these slices

$\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}+\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-2(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}+...+\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-n(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}$

Notice that the last term of the sum vanishes. After making up the expression a little, we get

$\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left[(-(5/n)+5)^2+(-2(5/n)+5)^2+...+(-(n-1)(5/n)+5)^2\right]=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(-k(5/n)+5)^2$

But

$\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(-k(5/n)+5)^2=\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}((5/n)^2k^2-(50/n)k+25)=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left((5/n)^2\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2-(50/n)\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k+25(n-1)\right)$

we also know that

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2=\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{6}$

and

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k=\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$

so we have, after replacing and simplifying, the sum of the slices equals

$\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left((5/n)^2\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2-(50/n)\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k+25(n-1)\right)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left(\displaystyle\frac{25}{n^2}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{6}-\displaystyle\frac{50}{n}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)}{2}+25(n-1)\right)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{n^3}$

Now we take the limit when n tends to infinite (the slices get thinner and thinner)

$\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{n^3}=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(2-3/n+1/n^2)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}.2=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}$
