If

<em>f(x)</em> = <em>ax</em> ³ + <em>bx</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 9

then

<em>f '(x)</em> = 3<em>ax </em>² + 2<em>bx</em> - 5

Given that <em>f</em> (-1) = 12 and <em>f</em> '(-1) = 3, we get the system of equations

-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + 5 + 9 = 12

3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> - 5 = 3

or

-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -2

3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = 8

Multiply through the first equation by 2 and add it to the second one to eliminate <em>b</em> and solve for <em>a</em> :

2(-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) + (3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em>) = 2(-2) + 8

-2<em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em> + 3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = -4 + 8

<em>a</em> = 4

Substitute this into the first equation above to solve for <em>b</em> :

-4 + <em>b</em> = -2

<em>b</em> = 2

Consider a solid spherical ball made of wood. Suppose a hole is bored (drilled) vertically through the center of the ball and th
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The volume of solid is 268.08 inches cube.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solid spherical ball has height 8 inches that means the diameter of the sphere is 8 inches. So, the radius will be the half of diameter. Thus, radius is 4 inches.

Now use below formula to find the volume of solid sphere.

Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{2} \\Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi (4)^{2} \\Volume = 268.08 \ in^{3}

Therefore, the volume of solid is 268.08 inches cube.
