Part 1

No of people voted in the election =6000

No of people from18to 29 years as a percentage =10%

No of people from 18 to 29 voted =

$6000 \times 10 \div 100 = 600$

Part 2

No of people voted in the election = 12000

No of people from 50 to 64 as a percentage=35%

No of people from 50 to 64 voted=

$12000 \times 35 \div 100 = 120 \times 35$

Part 3

Noof people voted in the election =596

No of people over 65 as a percentage =25%

No of people over 65 voted=

$596 \times 25 \div 100 =$

I told you the method. Please do the calculations

Maslowich

Answer:

0.3537 feet per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 10 ft3/min. Since we are told that the shape formed is a cone, the rate of change of the volume of the cone.

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=10$ ft^3/min$

$\text{Volume of a cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

If the Base Diameter = Height of the Cone

The radius of the Cone = h/2

Therefore,

$\text{Volume of the cone}=\dfrac{\pi h}{3} (\dfrac{h}{2}) ^2 \\V=\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12}$

$\text{Rate of Change of the Volume}, \dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}$

Therefore: $\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=10$

We want to determine how fast is the height of the pile is increasing when the pile is 6 feet high.

$When h=6$ feet$\\\dfrac{3\pi *6^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=10\\9\pi \dfrac{dh}{dt}=10\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{10}{9\pi}\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0.3537$ feet per minute$

When the pile is 6 feet high, the height of the pile is increasing at a rate of 0.3537 feet per minute.

What is a counterexample of the statement “all square roots are irrational”

skad [1K]

Rather than trying to guess and check, we can actually construct a counterexample to the statement.

So, what is an irrational number? The prefix "ir" means not, so we can say that an irrational number is something that's not a rational number, right? Since we know a rational number is a ratio between two integers, we can conclude an irrational number is a number that's not a ratio of two integers. So, an easy way to show that not all square roots are irrational would be to square a rational number then take the square root of it. Let's use three halves for our example:

$\sqrt{(\frac{3}{2})^2}=\\\sqrt{\frac{9}{4}}=\\\frac{3}{2}$

So clearly 9/4 is a counterexample to the statement. We can also say something stronger: All squared rational numbers are not irrational number when rooted. How would we prove this? Well, let $\frac{a}{b}$ be a rational number. That would mean, $\frac{a^2}{b^2}$ , would be a/b squared. Taking the square root of it yields:
