Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the piecewise function:

And we want to find f(8).
Since our input value is 8, choose the equation that fits our input.
The first equation demand x to be less than 3. 8 is not less than 3, so we won't use that.
The second equation demand x to e greater than or equal to 3 and less than 8. 8 is <em>not</em> less than 8. So, we won't use that.
The third equation demands x to be greater than or equal to 8. 8 is greater than or equal to 8, so we'll use the third equation.
So:


There're nothing more to do, we're done :)
The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

has characteristic equation

with roots at
. Then the characteristic solution is

For the particular solution, consider the ansatz
, whose first and second derivatives vanish. Substitute
and its derivatives into the equation:

Then the general solution to the equation is

With
, we have

and with
,

Then the particular solution to the equation is

Step-by-step explanation:
Check the picture below.
the "lateral" area, or "sides" area, is just the area of all the four triangular faces, and it doesn't include the bottom or base of the pyramid.
however, notice, each triangular face is really just a triangle with a base of 24, and a height of 16.
