Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the speciﬁed axis. y = 64x−8x^2,

Mandarinka [93]

We need to get the limits first. When y = 0
0 = 64x - 8x^2
x = 0 and x = 8
The volume is
V = ∫ y dx from 0 to 8
V = ∫ (64x - 8x^2) dx from 0 to 8
V = 32x^2 - 8x^3/3 from 0 to 8
V = 682.67<span />

On the following number line, two rational numbers are graphed.Represent the two numbers as fractions (or mixed numbers) in lowe

nordsb [41]

The first graphed rational number is at the middle of -2 and -1, thus the number represented is $-1 \frac{1}{2}$

The second graphed number is five out of six places from from 0 to 1, thus the number graphed is $0+ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$

The difference between the two numbers can be represented as
$-1 \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{6}$
or
$\frac{5}{6} -(-1 \frac{1}{2} )= \frac{5}{6} +1 \frac{1}{2}$

To find the difference,

$-1 \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ =-1 \frac{3+5}{6} \\ \\ =-1 \frac{8}{6} =-2 \frac{2}{6} \\ \\ =-2 \frac{1}{3}$

Also,

$\frac{5}{6} +1 \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ =1 \frac{5+3}{6} \\ \\ =1 \frac{8}{6} =2 \frac{2}{6} \\ \\ =2 \frac{1}{6}$
