Melisande collected 14 bottles on Saturday and 9 bottles on Sunday for recycling. On Monday, she took all the bottles to the rec

ycling center, where they paid her a certain amount, b, for each bottle. However, she had to pay the recycling center a one-time service fee of $0.25. If she left there with $3.20 for the bottles, what is the value of b?

Answer: The value of b is $0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bottles co0llected = 14+9 =23

Payment for each bottle = b

Total payment she will get = 23b

One -time service fee = $0.25

She has left = $3.20

According to the question,

23b - 0.25 = 3.20

⇒23b = 3.20+0.25

⇒23b = 3.45

⇒b = 0.15 [divide both sides by 23]

Cost of each bottle = $ 0.15

hence, the value of b is $0.15.

Determine the volume of the solid that lies between planes perpendicular to the x-axis at x=0 and x=4. The cross sections perpen

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Volume = 16 unit^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Solid lies between planes x = 0 and x = 4.

- The diagonals rum from curves y = sqrt(x) to y = -sqrt(x)

Find:

Determine the Volume bounded.

Solution:

- First we will find the projected area of the solid on the x = 0 plane.

A(x) = 0.5*(diagonal)^2

- Since the diagonal run from y = sqrt(x) to y = -sqrt(x). We have,

A(x) = 0.5*(sqrt(x) + sqrt(x) )^2

A(x) = 0.5*(4x) = 2x

- Using the Area we will integrate int the direction of x from 0 to 4 too get the volume of the solid:

V = integral(A(x)).dx

V = integral(2*x).dx

V = x^2

- Evaluate limits 0 < x < 4:

V= 16 - 0 = 16 unit^3

Use green's theorem to compute the area inside the ellipse x252+y2172=1. use the fact that the area can be written as ∬ddxdy=12∫

Pavel [41]

The area of the ellipse $E$ is given by

$\displaystyle\iint_E\mathrm dA=\iint_E\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

To use Green's theorem, which says

$\displaystyle\int_{\partial E}L\,\mathrm dx+M\,\mathrm dy=\iint_E\left(\frac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial L}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

( $\partial E$ denotes the boundary of $E$ ), we want to find $M(x,y)$ and $L(x,y)$ such that

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=1$

and then we would simply compute the line integral. As the hint suggests, we can pick

$\begin{cases}M(x,y)=\dfrac x2\\\\L(x,y)=-\dfrac y2\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}=\dfrac12\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=-\dfrac12\end{cases}\implies\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=1$

The line integral is then

$\displaystyle\frac12\int_{\partial E}-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy$

We parameterize the boundary by

$\begin{cases}x(t)=5\cos t\\y(t)=17\sin t\end{cases}$

with $0\le t\le2\pi$ . Then the integral is

$\displaystyle\frac12\int_0^{2\pi}(-17\sin t(-5\sin t)+5\cos t(17\cos t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\frac{85}2\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^2t+\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt=\frac{85}2\int_0^{2\pi}\mathrm dt=85\pi$

###

Notice that $x^{2/3}+y^{2/3}=4^{2/3}$ kind of resembles the equation for a circle with radius 4, $x^2+y^2=4^2$ . We can change coordinates to what you might call "pseudo-polar":

$\begin{cases}x(t)=4\cos^3t\\y(t)=4\sin^3t\end{cases}$

which gives

$x(t)^{2/3}+y(t)^{2/3}=(4\cos^3t)^{2/3}+(4\sin^3t)^{2/3}=4^{2/3}(\cos^2t+\sin^2t)=4^{2/3}$

as needed. Then with $0\le t\le2\pi$ , we compute the area via Green's theorem using the same setup as before:

$\displaystyle\iint_E\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac12\int_0^{2\pi}(-4\sin^3t(12\cos^2t(-\sin t))+4\cos^3t(12\sin^2t\cos t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle24\int_0^{2\pi}(\sin^4t\cos^2t+\cos^4t\sin^2t)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle24\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^2t\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle6\int_0^{2\pi}(1-\cos2t)(1+\cos2t)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle6\int_0^{2\pi}(1-\cos^22t)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle3\int_0^{2\pi}(1-\cos4t)\,\mathrm dt=6\pi$

Norma-Jean [14]

They could miss each other 30 different ways. I solved this by drawing it out six different stores and making Alice and Betsy go to each one may different times. Example photo included for how I got the first five. Then I did the same thing, but switch A and B, counted that towards the total and continued the is drawing until all the possibilities were found.
