Answer:

  • 16.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle is x

Imagine the right triangle with the angle x, with side opposite to angle x 15 ft and the adjacent side is 50 ft.

<u>Use trigonometry:</u>

  • tangent = opposite / adjacent
  • tan x = 15/50
  • tan x = 0.3
  • x = arctan 0.3
  • x = 16.7° (rounded)

A coffee distributor plans to mix some Rift Valley coffee that normally sells for $12.10 per pound with some Mexican Shade Grown
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

24 pounds of Rift Valley coffee

26 pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

If R is pounds of Rift Valley coffee, and M is pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee, then:

R + M = 50

12.10 R + 13.10 M = 12.62 (50)

Substitute:

12.10 R + 13.10 (50 − R) = 12.62 (50)

12.10 R + 655 − 13.10 R = 631

R = 24

M = 26

The graphs arey=(1/3)x^2
and y=3
they intersect at x=3
so the limits are x=0 and 3
to rotate it about y=k, minus k from every function


area=\pi  \int\limits^3_0 {( \frac{1}{3}x^2-3)^2-(3-3)^2 } \, dx
which evaluates to 72/5pi
