(-1/4)x + 2 = 8

Multiply all terms by 4.

(-1)x + 8 = 32

Simplify.

-x + 8 = 32

Subtract 8 from both sides.

-x = 24

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = -24.

<h3>The value of x is equal to -24.</h3>

-1/4(-24) + 2 = 8

Calculus Problem

Roman55 [17]

The two parabolas intersect for

$8-x^2 = x^2 \implies 2x^2 = 8 \implies x^2 = 4 \implies x=\pm2$

and so the base of each solid is the set

$B = \left\{(x,y) \,:\, -2\le x\le2 \text{ and } x^2 \le y \le 8-x^2\right\}$

The side length of each cross section that coincides with B is equal to the vertical distance between the two parabolas, $|x^2-(8-x^2)| = 2|x^2-4|$ . But since -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, this reduces to $2(x^2-4)$ .

a. Square cross sections will contribute a volume of

$\left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = 4(x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x$

where ∆x is the thickness of the section. Then the volume would be

$\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 4(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx \\\\ = 8 \int_0^2 (x^4-8x^2+16) \, dx \\\\ = 8 \left(\frac{2^5}5 - \frac{8\times2^3}3 + 16\times2\right) = \boxed{\frac{2048}{15}}$

where we take advantage of symmetry in the first line.

b. For a semicircle, the side length we found earlier corresponds to diameter. Each semicircular cross section will contribute a volume of

$\dfrac\pi8 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \dfrac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x$

We end up with the same integral as before except for the leading constant:

$\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \frac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \pi \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx$

Using the result of part (a), the volume is

$\displaystyle \frac\pi8 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{256\pi}{15}}}$

c. An equilateral triangle with side length s has area √3/4 s², hence the volume of a given section is

$\dfrac{\sqrt3}4 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \sqrt3 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x$

and using the result of part (a) again, the volume is

$\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \sqrt 3(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \frac{\sqrt3}4 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{512}{5\sqrt3}}$

Solve for q. -5(3-q) +4=5q-11

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Perform the indicated multiplication first: -15 + 5q + 4 = 5q - 11

Note that 5q appears on both sides of this equation. Cancelling, we get :

-11 = -11. This is always true. Thus, -5(3-q) +4=5q-11 is true for all q.
