What is the volume of the solid of revolution generated by revolving R about the x-axis?

Let f(x) = e^(-3x/2)
Let R be the region between the graph of f and the x-axis on the interval 0 < x < 1. Find the volume V of the solid of revolution generated by revolving R about the x-axis.
I’ve been trying all night to figure this problem out with no luck at all. Please [...]

What’s the difference between x-intercept form and y intercept form?

I’ve been told the basic rule for y-intercept is ‘ y=ax^2+bx+c ‘ and x-intercept is y=c(x-a)(x-b) but can you elaborate on it? Such as explaining how to spot each one and the differences.
The x-intercept form is the points that lie on the horizontal line and the y-intercept are the poitns that lie on the vertical [...]

How to determine value of X when adding log with different bases?

log(base 16) x + log (base 4) x + log (base 2) x = 7
How do you solve it?
Well the answer is 16, but I want to know the solution.
Thank you.
ln(x)/ln(16)+ln(x)/ln(4)+ln(x)/ln(2)=7
ln(x)(1/ln(16)+1/ln(4)+1/ln(2))=7
ln(x)=7/(1/ln(16)+1/ln(4)+1/ln(2))
x=e^(7/(1/ln(16)+1/ln(4)+1/ln(2)))
Here, it helps to know that ln(16)=4ln(2) and ln(4)=2ln(2).
Remember, ln(a^b)=b*ln(a).
x=e^(7/(1/(4ln2)+1/(2ln2)+1/ln2))
x=e^(7/(7/(4ln2)))
x=e^(28ln2/7)
x=e^(4ln2)
x=e^(ln(2^4))
x=e^ln16
x=16

How dangerous to health is the powerful X Ray scanner at Manchester airport?

I have noticed that people who give you an X Ray always hide behind a lead screen themselves.
Is this one the equivalent of being X Rayed 50 times in one go?
Never mind seeing my bum, what about my health, you bums?
It is well within the permitted limits and don’t forget you are fully dressed. One [...]

How to I resize a photo to get 600 x 600 pixels exactly?

I need to submit my photo for DV2011 visa lottery and they need it to be 600 x 600 pixels exactly. I’ve tried so many kinds of photo shopping but they automatically correct it to 450 x 600. Thanks!
Try this software: http://www.imageconverterplus.com/. They have lots of resize options, and I believe you yourself can point [...]

How do you rearrange to make x the subject in a quadratic equation?

Like (x-3)(2x+4)=y HOW do you rearrange to make x the subject here?
I’d like to get to know how to do this for ALL quadratics.. Are there any sites for doing it?
there is no such kind of rearranging that can do that. However, if you want the roots; you can use the quadratic formula.

How does Generation X feel in its work environment in relation to Baby Boomers?

Generation X has been qualified by the Baby Boomer generation as "slackers", a generation with no vision that defies authority and has nothing better to do than hang out in coffee shops and smoke cigarettes. I would like to know how Generation X (1961 to 1980) views itself in regard to its actual contribution and [...]
