Answer:

y = -2/3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3, 7) and (3, 3)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(3 - 7) / (3 -(-3))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (3 - 7) / (3 + 3)

Simplify the fraction.

= (-4) / (6)

= -4/6

= -2/3

This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.

y = -2/3x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the second point (3, 3). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

3 = -2/3(3) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(3)

3 = -2 + b

Now, add 2 to both sides to isolate b.

5 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -2/3x + 5

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (-3, 7).

y = -2/3x + 5

7= -2/3(-3) + 5

7 = 2 + 5

7 = 7

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!

sasho [114]

Answer:

The sequence of functions $\{x^{n}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ converges to the function

$f(x)=\begin{cases}0&0\leq x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The limit $\lim_{n\to \infty }c^{n}$ exists and converges to zero whenever $\lvert c \rvert$ . But, if $c=1$ the sequence $\{c^{n}\}$ is constant and all its terms are equal to $1$ , then converges to $1$ . Using this result, consider the sequence of functions $\{f_{n}\}$ defined on the interval $[0,1]$ by $f_{n}(x)=x^{n}$ . Then, for all $0\leq x$ we have that $\lim_{n\to \infty}x^{n}=0$ . Now, if $x=1$ , then $\lim_{n\to \infty }x^{n}=1$ . Therefore, the limit function of the sequence of functions is

$f(x)=\begin{cases}0&0\leq x$ .

To show that the convergence is not uniform consider $0$ . For any $n>1$ choose $x\in (0,1)$ such that $\varepsilon^{1/n}$ . Then

$\varepsilon$

This implies that the convergence is not uniform.

Check the picture below.

since the diameter of the cone is 6", then its radius is half that or 3", so getting the volume of only the cone, not the top.

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=3\\ h=4 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi (3)^2(4)}{3}\implies V=12\pi \implies V\approx 37.7$

now, the top of it, as you notice in the picture, is a semicircle, whose radius is the same as the cone's, 3.

$\bf \textit{volume of a sphere}\\\\ V=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=3 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{4\pi (3)^3}{3}\implies V=36\pi \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{half of that for a semisphere}}{V=18\pi }\implies V\approx 56.55$

well, you'll be serving the cone and top combined, 12π + 18π = 30π or about 94.25 in³.

pretty much the same thing, we get the volume of the cone and its top, add them up.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{cone's volume}}{\cfrac{\pi (3)^2(8)}{3}}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{half a sphere}}{\textit{top's volume}}}{\cfrac{4\pi 3^3}{3}\div 2}\implies 24\pi +18\pi \implies 42\pi ~~\approx~~131.95~in^$
