Answer:

) See annex

b) See annex

x  =  0,5 ft

y =  2 ft   and

V = 2 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:  See annex

c) V = y*y*x

d-1) y = 3 - 2x

d-2) V = (3-2x)* ( 3-2x)* x   ⇒ V = (3-2x)²*x    

V(x) =( 9 + 4x² - 12x )*x    ⇒   V(x) = 9x + 4x³ - 12x²

Taking derivatives

V¨(x) = 9 + 12x² - 24x

V¨(x) = 0              ⇒   12x² -24x +9 = 0     ⇒  4x² - 8x + 3 = 0

Solving for x (second degree equation)

x =[ -b ± √b²- 4ac ] / 2a

we get    x₁  =  1,5       and    x₂ =  0,5

We look at y = 3 - 2x    and see that the value x₂ is the only valid root

then

x  =  0,5 ft

y =    2 ft   and

V = 0,5*2*2

V = 2 ft³

Step 1: find slope intercept form using the given point and the slope
y - 14 = 21/2(x - 9)
y - 14 = 21/2x - 94.5
y = 21/2x - 80.5
now plug in your given y value and solve for x
-7 = 21/2x - 80.5
73.5 = 21/2x
x = 7
