Answer:

  • equation: 1/2(s +8) = 20
  • Mark began with 32 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number Mark started with. After buying 8 more, he then had s+8. After the fire, he had ...

  (1/2)(s +8) = 20

This equation can be solved by multiplying by 2, then subtracting 8.

  s +8 = 40

  s = 32

Mark began with 32 boxes.

An equilateral triangles has 3 equal sides and 3 equal angles.
All the angles of an equilateral triangle have a measure of 60 degrees.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse squared is the length of one leg squared plus the length of another leg squared.

Here's the equation for the Pythagorean theorem.
Let c be the length of the hypotenuse.
Let a and b be the length of the two legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 

Have an awesome day! :)

First, we have to convert our function (of x) into a function of y (we revolve the curve around the y-axis). So:


y=100-x^2\\\\x^2=100-y\qquad\bold{(1)}\\\\\boxed{x=\sqrt{100-y}}\qquad\bold{(2)} \\\\\\0\leq x\leq10\\\\y=100-0^2=100\qquad\wedge\qquad y=100-10^2=100-100=0\\\\\boxed{0\leq y\leq100}

And the derivative of x:

x'=\left(\sqrt{100-y}\right)'=\Big((100-y)^\frac{1}{2}\Big)'=\dfrac{1}{2}(100-y)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\cdot(100-y)'=\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{100-y}}\cdot(-1)=\boxed{-\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{100-y}}}\qquad\bold{(3)}

Now, we can calculate the area of the surface:

A=2\pi\int\limits_0^{100}\sqrt{100-y}\sqrt{1+\left(-\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{100-y}}\right)^2}\,\,dy=\\\\\\= 2\pi\int\limits_0^{100}\sqrt{100-y}\sqrt{1+\dfrac{1}{4(100-y)}}\,\,dy=(\star)

We could calculate this integral (not very hard, but long), or use (1), (2) and (3) to get:

(\star)=2\pi\int\limits_0^{100}1\cdot\sqrt{100-y}\sqrt{1+\dfrac{1}{4(100-y)}}\,\,dy=\left|\begin{array}{c}1=\dfrac{-2\sqrt{100-y}}{-2\sqrt{100-y}}\end{array}\right|= \\\\\\= 2\pi\int\limits_0^{100}\dfrac{-2\sqrt{100-y}}{-2\sqrt{100-y}}\cdot\sqrt{100-y}\cdot\sqrt{1+\dfrac{1}{4(100-y)}}\,\,dy=\\\\\\ 2\pi\int\limits_0^{100}-2\sqrt{100-y}\cdot\sqrt{100-y}\cdot\sqrt{1+\dfrac{1}{4(100-y)}}\cdot\dfrac{dy}{-2\sqrt{100-y}}=\\\\\\

=2\pi\int\limits_0^{100}-2\big(100-y\big)\cdot\sqrt{1+\dfrac{1}{4(100-y)}}\cdot\left(-\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{100-y}}\, dy\right)\stackrel{\bold{(1)}\bold{(2)}\bold{(3)}}{=}\\\\\\= \left|\begin{array}{c}x=\sqrt{100-y}\\\\x^2=100-y\\\\dx=-\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{100-y}}\, \,dy\\\\a=0\implies a'=\sqrt{100-0}=10\\\\b=100\implies b'=\sqrt{100-100}=0\end{array}\right|=\\\\\\= 2\pi\int\limits_{10}^0-2x^2\cdot\sqrt{1+\dfrac{1}{4x^2}}\,\,dx=(\text{swap limits})=\\\\\\

=2\pi\int\limits_0^{10}2x^2\cdot\sqrt{1+\dfrac{1}{4x^2}}\,\,dx= 4\pi\int\limits_0^{10}\sqrt{x^4}\cdot\sqrt{1+\dfrac{1}{4x^2}}\,\,dx=\\\\\\= 4\pi\int\limits_0^{10}\sqrt{x^4+\dfrac{x^4}{4x^2}}\,\,dx= 4\pi\int\limits_0^{10}\sqrt{x^4+\dfrac{x^2}{4}}\,\,dx=\\\\\\= 4\pi\int\limits_0^{10}\sqrt{\dfrac{x^2}{4}\left(4x^2+1\right)}\,\,dx= 4\pi\int\limits_0^{10}\dfrac{x}{2}\sqrt{4x^2+1}\,\,dx=\\\\\\=\boxed{2\pi\int\limits_0^{10}x\sqrt{4x^2+1}\,dx}

Calculate indefinite integral:

\int x\sqrt{4x^2+1}\,dx=\int\sqrt{4x^2+1}\cdot x\,dx=\left|\begin{array}{c}t=4x^2+1\\\\dt=8x\,dx\\\\\dfrac{dt}{8}=x\,dx\end{array}\right|=\int\sqrt{t}\cdot\dfrac{dt}{8}=\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{8}\int t^\frac{1}{2}\,dt=\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot\dfrac{t^{\frac{1}{2}+1}}{\frac{1}{2}+1}=\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot\dfrac{t^\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}=\dfrac{2}{8\cdot3}\cdot t^\frac{3}{2}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{12}\left(4x^2+1\right)^\frac{3}{2}}

And the area:

A=2\pi\int\limits_0^{10}x\sqrt{4x^2+1}\,dx=2\pi\cdot\dfrac{1}{12}\bigg[\left(4x^2+1\right)^\frac{3}{2}\bigg]_0^{10}=\\\\\\= \dfrac{\pi}{6}\left[\big(4\cdot10^2+1\big)^\frac{3}{2}-\big(4\cdot0^2+1\big)^\frac{3}{2}\right]=\dfrac{\pi}{6}\Big(\big401^\frac{3}{2}-1^\frac{3}{2}\Big)=\boxed{\dfrac{401^\frac{3}{2}-1}{6}\pi}
