Answer:

The length of each side is 31.5m, 26.5m, 7m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the first side of the triangle be x meters.

Then, the second side is x-5 meters.

The third side is given as 7 meters.

The perimeter is 65 meters

This gives us the equation:

$65 = x + x - 5 + 7$

$65 - 7 + 5 = x + x$

$63 = 2x$

$x = \frac{63}{2} = 31.5$

The length of each side is 31.5m, 26.5m, 7m

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

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

12x+5=4x? Show steps, please.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

x = 5/-8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 12x + 5

4x - 12x = 5

-8x = 5

x = 5/-8
