Answer:

1.5m+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of months.

We have been given that Svetlana's hair grows 1.5 cm per month, so in m months her hair will grow 1.5m cm.

We are also told that Svetlana's hair is 4 centimeters long, so the total length of Svetlana's hair in m months will be 1.5m+4.

Since Svetlana wants her hair to grow less than 16 cm. This means that total length of Svetlana's hair should be less than 16. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

1.5m+4

Let us solve for m.

1.5m+4-4

1.5m

\frac{1.5m}{1.5}

m

Therefore, the inequality 1.5m+4 can be used to determine the number of months, m, Svetlana can allow her hair to grow so that it is less than 16 cm long.

use the general slicing method to find the volume of The solid whose base is the triangle with vertices (0 comma 0 )​, (15 comma
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

volume V of the solid

\boxed{V=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation is depicted in the picture attached

(see picture)

First, we divide the segment [0, 5] on the X-axis into n equal parts of length 5/n each

[0, 5/n], [5/n, 2(5/n)], [2(5/n), 3(5/n)],..., [(n-1)(5/n), 5]

Now, we slice our solid into n slices.  

Each slice is a quarter of cylinder 5/n thick and has a radius of  

-k(5/n) + 5  for each k = 1,2,..., n (see picture)

So the volume of each slice is  

\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-k(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}

for k=1,2,..., n

We then add up the volumes of all these slices

\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}+\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-2(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}+...+\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-n(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}

Notice that the last term of the sum vanishes. After making up the expression a little, we get

\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left[(-(5/n)+5)^2+(-2(5/n)+5)^2+...+(-(n-1)(5/n)+5)^2\right]=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(-k(5/n)+5)^2

But

\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(-k(5/n)+5)^2=\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}((5/n)^2k^2-(50/n)k+25)=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left((5/n)^2\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2-(50/n)\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k+25(n-1)\right)

we also know that

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2=\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{6}

and

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k=\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)}{2}

so we have, after replacing and simplifying, the sum of the slices equals

\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left((5/n)^2\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2-(50/n)\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k+25(n-1)\right)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left(\displaystyle\frac{25}{n^2}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{6}-\displaystyle\frac{50}{n}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)}{2}+25(n-1)\right)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{n^3}

Now we take the limit when n tends to infinite (the slices get thinner and thinner)

\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{n^3}=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(2-3/n+1/n^2)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}.2=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}

and the volume V of our solid is

\boxed{V=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}}

3. Tom, Sam and Matt are counting drum beats.
just olya [345]

Answer:

<em>When 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Least Common Multiple ( LCM )

The LCM of two integers a,b is the smallest positive integer that is evenly divisible by both a and b.

For example:

LCM(20,8)=40

LCM(35,18)=630

Since Tom, Sam, and Matt are counting drum beats at their own frequency, we must find the least common multiple of all their beats frequency.

Find the LCM of 4,10,12. Follow this procedure:

List prime factorization of all the numbers:

4 = 2*2

10 = 2*5

12 = 2*2*3

Multiply all the factors the greatest times they occur:

LCM=2*2*3*5=60

Thus, when 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.
