Answer:
12y i think
Step-by-step explanation:
You can go through the effort of determining the zero of the function analytically and evaluating an analytic expression for the derivative at that point, or you can let a graphing calculator do that heavy lifting. Since the numbers have to be "nice" for your equation to have the desired form, it is easy to know what to round to in the event that is necessary (it isn't).
We find the positive zero-crossing at x=2, and the slope of the curve at that point to be 8. Thus the line will have slope -1/8 and can be written as
.. x +8y -2 = 0
Andy is incorrect because more then one triangle can be drawn with the given information
Vol (pyr) = 1/3 b × h, where h = 15 and b = base = area of triangular base = 1/2 b×h, where h = 12 and b = 13
V = 1/3 (1/2×12×13)×15
V = (1/3×1/2×12)×13×15
V = 2×13×15 = 30×13 = 390 in^3
