Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A <u>helix</u> is a curve for which the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line. The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (see attached diagram for helix).
The parametrization for the helix is
where 
is the radius of the helix, 
is the constant, and 
is the parameter

Step-by-step explanation:
Adam plans to choose a video game from a section of the store where everything is 75% off.
The expression written by him for this situation is d - 0.75d.
Here, the part d represents the sale price before discount and the part 0.75d is the discount amount.
The expression written by Rena is 0.25d.
Here, the part 0.25d is the price after discount. Since 75% is the discount, the rate after disount is 25% and 25% of d is 0.25d.
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Don't worry about the volume to start with. Just look at the area of the top or bottom.
The hole has a 4 inch diameter
d = 4
r = d/2
r = 2
Area = pi r^2
Area = pi * 2^2
Area = 4 pi
Now find the area of the top (or bottom) if the circle was not there.
L = 8
W = 6
Area = L * W
Area = 8 * 6
Area = 48
Now take away the area of the circle.
Area Top = 48 - 4 * pi
Area Top = 48 - 12.56
Area Top = 35.44
Finally, Find the volume
Volume = area of the top * height
Volume = 35.44 * 15
Volume = 531.6
