Answer:
1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
if half the amount of blue marbles have sparkles you need to divide the amount of blue marbles in half
so 1/2 of 1/8 is 1/16
The two parabolas intersect for

and so the base of each solid is the set

The side length of each cross section that coincides with B is equal to the vertical distance between the two parabolas,
. But since -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, this reduces to
.
a. Square cross sections will contribute a volume of

where ∆x is the thickness of the section. Then the volume would be

where we take advantage of symmetry in the first line.
b. For a semicircle, the side length we found earlier corresponds to diameter. Each semicircular cross section will contribute a volume of

We end up with the same integral as before except for the leading constant:

Using the result of part (a), the volume is

c. An equilateral triangle with side length s has area √3/4 s², hence the volume of a given section is

and using the result of part (a) again, the volume is

13. Pick a point and see which formula works.
Ay = -4, A'y = 7. Only the formula of selection D makes that translation.
14. Use the compound interest formula A = P*(1 +r/n)^(nt).
..1500*1.015^80 = 4935.99, matching selection C
15. The lid has a perimeter of 90", so the area of the sides is
.. 90" * 24" = 2160 in^2
The area of the lid is
.. 30" * 15" = 450 in^2
The gray area is (2160 -450) in^2 = 1710 in^2 larger, corresponding to selection C.
16. The only formula that maps (7, -1) to (21, -3) is that of selection D.

The middle two problems are the only ones that require you to have prior knowledge. The others could be answered simply by seeing if the answers work.
You know that 6x+3 equals 45 because the two sides are equal. So you first put the equation 6x+3=45. Then you use the subtraction property of equality and subtract 3 from both sides. This gives you 6x=42. Then you divide 6 from both sides to get you final answer, x=7
