Answer:

The equation that represents this problem is \frac{1}{2} p - 2 = 18 ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ p is the time it takes Tomás to bike to the park

∵ The time it takes Tomás to bike to the community center is 2 minutes

   less than half the time it takes him to bike to the city park

→ That means multiply p by \frac{1}{2} , then subtract 2 from it

∴ The time to the community center =  \frac{1}{2} (p) - 2

∴ The time to the community center =  \frac{1}{2} p - 2

∵ It takes Tomás 18 minutes to bike to the community center

→ Equate The time to the community center by 18

∴ \frac{1}{2} p - 2 = 18

∴ The equation that represents this problem is  \frac{1}{2} p - 2 = 18

A solid lies between planes perpendicular to the x-axis at x tox=. The cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are circular d
cluponka [151]

It's unclear what the planes are supposed to be, so I'll take x=a and x=b with 0\le a.

The cross sections are disks with diameter \csc x-\cot x, so each disk of thickness \Delta x has a volume of

\dfrac{\pi(\csc x-\cot x)^2}4\Delta x

Then taking infinitesimally thin disks, we find the solid has a volume of

\displaystyle\frac\pi4\int_a^b(\csc x-\cot x)^2\,\mathrm dx

Since

(\csc x-\cot x)^2=2\csc^2x-2\csc x\cot x-1

and

\dfrac{\mathrm d(\csc x)}{\mathrm dx}=-\csc x\cot x

\dfrac{\mathrm d(\cot x)}{\mathrm dx}=-\csc^2x

it follows that the volume is

\displaystyle\frac\pi4\left(-2\cot x+2\csc x-x\right)\bigg|_a^b

=\dfrac\pi4(2(\cot a-\cot b)+2(\csc b-\csc a)+a-b)

=\dfrac\pi4\left(2\tan\dfrac b2-2\tan\dfrac a2+a-b\right)
