What does the y intercept represent in distance vs time squared?

1 answer:

4 0

The y represents the distance, remember time is the independent variable and distance is the dependent variable.

Another tip, when you see the title, such as distance vs time squared. The first term in the title always goes for the y axis and the second goes for the x axis.
I hope this answers your question!

Find the surface area of a sphere with a volume of 36π in3.

swat32

First use known volume to solve for radius:
$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$
$r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi}}$
$r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3(36\pi)}{4\pi}}$
$r=\sqrt[3]{27}$
$r=3$

Then use the radius to get the surface area:
$A_{surf}=4 \pi r^{2}$
$A_{surf}=4 \pi 3^{2}$
$A_{surf}=4 \pi 9$
$A_{surf}=36\pi\approx113.09$
