Answer:

D.    x = 12, solution is not extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

-4√(x - 3) = -12

Divide both sides by -4

√(x - 3) = 3

Square both sides

x - 3 = 9

add 3 to both sides

x = 12

To see if it's extraneous plug into original problem

-4√(12 - 3) = -12

-4√(9) = -12

-4 * 3 = -12

-12 = -12

not extraneous

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified axis. y=1/x^5, y=0,
igomit [66]
If you wanted to rotate f(x) around the y axis from x=a to x=b then the volume would be
\pi  \int\limits^a_b {(f(x))^2)} \, dx


that would be

\pi \int\limits^8_1 {(\frac{1}{x^5})^2} \, dx
\pi \int\limits^8_1 {\frac{1}{x^{10}}} \, dx
1/x^10=x^-10
integrate
-1/(9x^9)
so
\pi \int\limits^8_1 {\frac{1}{x^{10}}} \, dx=
\pi [\frac{-1}{9x^{9}}]^8_1=\pi (\frac{-1}{9(8^{9})}-\frac{-1}{9(1^{9})})=
\pi (\frac{-1}{9(8^{9})}+\frac{1}{9(1^{9})})=\pi (\frac{-1}{9(8^{9})}+\frac{1}{9})=
\pi (\frac{-1}{9(8^{9})}+\frac{8^9}{9(8^9)})=\pi (\frac{8^9-1}{9(8^{9})})=
(\frac{\pi8^9-\pi}{9(8^{9})})=\frac{134217727 \pi}{1207959552}
that's the volume of the solid

Convert 3/11 to a decimal equivalent using long division
Anastasy [175]

<span>In order to Convert 3/11 into a decimal, you have to divide 3/11 out. If you were to put the three on top, and the 11 on the bottom, (here's a little tip to make it easier " top dog stays out and snoopy stays in. Top dog would be 3 because it is on the top of the fraction. Snoopy would be the 11 which is on the bottom of the fraction.) so with that being said..... So if you do 3 divided by 11 The answer would be 0.27272727...hope it helped.

My name is Ann [436]
He will need 17 inches of ribbon.

The diagonal splits the square into two right triangles.  We can then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal (the hypotenuse of the triangle):

12² + 12² = x²
144 + 144 = x²
288 = x²

Take the square root of both sides:
√288 = √x²
16.97 = x
17≈x

Solve the following system of equations by elimination. What is the value of y?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 1  ----------------(i)

-3x + 2y = -18 ---------------(ii)

(i) * 3               6x - 15y = 3

(ii)*2             <u> -6x + 4y = -36</u>

add==>                  -11y = -33

                                  y = -33/-11

                                  y = 3
