The area of an equilateral triangle of side "s" is s^2*sqrt(3)/4. So the volume of the slices in your problem is
(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4.
Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have
[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4
= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144.
Since this seems quite small, it makes sense to ask what the base area might be...integral from 0 to 1 of (x - x^2) dx = (1/2) - (1/3) = 1/6. Yes, OK, the max height of the triangles occurs where x - x^2 = 1/4, and most of the triangles are quite a bit shorter...
Answer:
$42.58
Step-by-step explanation:
You would multiply the price of the item (45.79) by the percentage as a decimal (0.07) and subtract the product.
in this case:
45.79x0.07 = 3.205 (rounded 3.21)
45.79-3.21 = 42.58
Answer:
for the first one I got y=-2x-2 the second part i got y=-x-1 or -1x-y-1=0 Correct me if I am wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula
-4-4 =-8
/ =-2
1 - -3=4
2. The second part use this formula y-y1=m(x-x1)
y--4=-1(x-3)
y+4=-x+3
-4 -4
y+0=-x-1
y=-x-1 or -1x-y-1=0 I am not sure
Answer:
B
) Negative
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression 3xy
when x>0 and y<0
The value of the expression 3xy will be negative.
This is because the product of a positive and negative number will always be negative.
For illustration,
Let x=5>0 and y=-5<0
3xy=3(5)(-5)=-75
NOTE:

Compare the slopes of the 4 equations, which is the number in the term with "x". The slope with highest absolute value is the steepest. Positive slope means the function is ascending left to right, negative slope means it is descending left to right. If you only care that it is the steepest, regardless of whether it is ascending or descending, then the answer is (D).
