Answer:

6 3/

= 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 2 3/

to a improper fraction: 2 3/5 = 2 3/

= 2 · 5 + 3/

= 10 + 3/

= 13/

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 5. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 5/

= 10/

b) Add the answer from previous step 10 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 10 + 3 = 13

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 13) over the denominator 5.

Two and three fifths is thirteen fifths

Add: 4 + 13/

= 4/

+ 13/

= 4 · 5/

1 · 5

+ 13/

= 20/

+ 13/

= 20 + 13/

= 33/

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(1, 5) = 5. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 1 × 5 = 5. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - four plus thirteen fifths = thirty-three fifths.

The solid surface area is equal to the solid volume. Find the value of x? The measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$x=7.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent height of the prism.

We know that volume of rectangular is equal to product of its height, width and length.

$\text{Surface area of rectangular prism}=2(wl+lh+hw)$ , where w, h and l represents width, length and height respectively.

We have been given that the surface area of rectangular prism is equal to the volume of the prism. So we can set an equation as:

$lwh=2(wl+lh+hw)$

We are also told that the measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches long and 4 inches wide. Upon substituting these values in above equation, we will get:

$9\cdot 4\cdot x=2(4\cdot 9+9\cdot x+x\cdot 4)$

Let us solve for x.

$36x=2(36+9x+4x)$

$36x=2(36+13x)$

$36x=72+26x$

$36x-26x=72+26x-26x$

$10x=72$

$x=\frac{72}{10}\\\\x=7.2$

Therefore, the value of x is 7.2 inches.

Use Simpson's Rule with n = 10 to approximate the area of the surface obtained by rotating the curve about the x-axis. Compare y

DiKsa [7]

The area of the surface is given exactly by the integral,

$\displaystyle\pi\int_0^5\sqrt{1+(y'(x))^2}\,\mathrm dx$

We have

$y(x)=\dfrac15x^5\implies y'(x)=x^4$

so the area is

$\displaystyle\pi\int_0^5\sqrt{1+x^8}\,\mathrm dx$

We split up the domain of integration into 10 subintervals,

[0, 1/2], [1/2, 1], [1, 3/2], ..., [4, 9/2], [9/2, 5]

where the left and right endpoints for the $i$ -th subinterval are, respectively,

$\ell_i=\dfrac{5-0}{10}(i-1)=\dfrac{i-1}2$

$r_i=\dfrac{5-0}{10}i=\dfrac i2$

with midpoint

$m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{2i-1}4$

with $1\le i\le10$ .

Over each subinterval, we interpolate $f(x)=\sqrt{1+x^8}$ with the quadratic polynomial,

$p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$

Then

$\displaystyle\int_0^5f(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^{10}\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx$

It turns out that the latter integral reduces significantly to

$\displaystyle\int_0^5f(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\frac56\left(f(0)+4f\left(\frac{0+5}2\right)+f(5)\right)=\frac56\left(1+\sqrt{390,626}+\dfrac{\sqrt{390,881}}4\right)$

which is about 651.918, so that the area is approximately $651.918\pi\approx\boxed{2048}$ .

Compare this to actual value of the integral, which is closer to 1967.
