The given curve is y = 5x -4,  -1 ≤ x ≤ 3.

The length of the arc is computed from the formula
S= \int_{-1}^{3} \,\sqrt{1+ (\frac{dy}{dx} )^{2}} \, dx

The derivative is 
y' = 5

Therefore
S = \int_{-1}^{3} \sqrt{1+25} \, dx =\sqrt{26}*(3-(-1))=20.396

Note that 
x = -1 +> y = 5(-1) - 4 = -9
x = 3 => y = 5(3) - 4 = 11
The distance between the points (-1, -9) and (3, 11) from the distance formula is
D = √[(3-(-1))² + (11-(-9))²] = √(16+400) = 20.396
This answer agrees with that obtained by integration.

Answer: 20.396
Obtained by integration and verified by the distance formula.

A right triangle has an area of 98 square inches. If the triangle is not an Isosceles triangle, what are the all possible length
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The possible length of the triangle =

1) (1inches, 196inches)

2) (2incheq, 98inches)

3) (4inches , 49 inches)

4) (7 inches , 28 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the above Triangle is not an Isosceles Triangle

Hence, we assume it is a right angle triangle

The area of a triangle is = 1/2 × Base × Height

= let us represent Base and Height = x

Hence:

1/2 × x × x = 98

x² /2 = 98

Cross Multiply

x² = 98 × 2

x² = 196

Step 2

We find the factors of 196

1× 196 = 196 (1, 196)

2 × 98 = 196 (2, 98)

4 ×49 = 196 (4, 49)

7 × 28 = 196 (7, 28)

Therefore, all the possible length of the triangle =

1) (1inches, 196inches)

2) (2incheq, 98inches)

3) (4inches , 49 inches)

4) (7 inches , 28 inches)

Marco created a table to help him represent the sample space of spinning a spinner and flipping a coin. Result of spin Result of
Svetradugi [14.3K]

The probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.

Spinner has three colors that are  red, green and yellow and coin has two sides that are  head or tail.

<h3>What is the formula for probability?</h3>

Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes

The sample space is,{(red - head; red - tail; green - head; green - tail; yellow - head; yellow - tail)}In total there are 6 ways to combine different colors with coin sides.

Therefore ,the probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.
