Answer: The answer is (D). Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that we are solving the following quadratic equation:

$x^2+10x+25=11.$

We are to select the most logical step among the given options in solving the above quadratic equation.

The correct answer is (D), because taking the square root of both the sides of the equation will directly result in the value of 'x' as follows:

$x^2+10x+25=11\\\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{x^2+10x+25}=\sqrt {11}\\\\\Rightarrow x+5=\pm\sqrt{11}\\\\\Rightarrow x=-5\pm\sqrt{11}.$

Thus, (d) is the answer.

Find the volume of the solid.

dmitriy555 [2]

In Cartesian coordinates, the region (call it $R$ ) is the set

$R = \left\{(x,y,z) ~:~ x\ge0 \text{ and } y\ge0 \text{ and } 2 \le z \le 4-x^2-y^2\right\}$

In the plane $z=2$ , we have

$2 = 4 - x^2 - y^2 \implies x^2 + y^2 = 2 = \left(\sqrt2\right)^2$

which is a circle with radius $\sqrt2$ . Then we can better describe the solid by

$R = \left\{(x,y,z) ~:~ 0 \le x \le \sqrt2 \text{ and } 0 \le y \le \sqrt{2 - x^2} \text{ and } 2 \le z \le 4 - x^2 - y^2 \right\}$

so that the volume is

$\displaystyle \iiint_R dV = \int_0^{\sqrt2} \int_0^{\sqrt{2-x^2}} \int_2^{4-x^2-y^2} dz \, dy \, dx$

While doable, it's easier to compute the volume in cylindrical coordinates.

$\begin{cases} x = r \cos(\theta) \\ y = r\sin(\theta) \\ z = \zeta \end{cases} \implies \begin{cases}x^2 + y^2 = r^2 \\ dV = r\,dr\,d\theta\,d\zeta\end{cases}$

Then we can describe $R$ in cylindrical coordinates by

$R = \left\{(r,\theta,\zeta) ~:~ 0 \le r \le \sqrt2 \text{ and } 0 \le \theta \le\dfrac\pi2 \text{ and } 2 \le \zeta \le 4 - r^2\right\}$

so that the volume is

$\displaystyle \iiint_R dV = \int_0^{\pi/2} \int_0^{\sqrt2} \int_2^{4-r^2} r \, d\zeta \, dr \, d\theta \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac\pi2 \int_0^{\sqrt2} \int_2^{4-r^2} r \, d\zeta\,dr \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac\pi2 \int_0^{\sqrt2} r((4 - r^2) - 2) \, dr \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac\pi2 \int_0^{\sqrt2} (2r-r^3) \, dr \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac\pi2 \left(\left(\sqrt2\right)^2 - \frac{\left(\sqrt2\right)^4}4\right) = \boxed{\frac\pi2}$
