Solution:

we have been asked to find that , how many times one number is to the other given numbers.

To do this we will divide the larger number by the smaller number and the resulting number will be the answer of the question.

Here the larger number is $8.5\times10^8$

The smaller number is $3.4\times 10^5$

Now lets divide as follows

$\frac{8.5\times10^8}{3.4\times 10^5} =\frac{8.5}{3.4}\times 10^{8-5}\\ \\\frac{8.5\times10^8}{3.4\times 10^5} =2.5\times10^3=2500$

Hence the correct option is C.

Given the following three points, find by the hand the quadratic function they represent (0,6, (2,16, (3,33)

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function is given as $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

Let's find a, b and c:

Substituting (0, 6):

$6 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c$

$6 = 0 + 0 + c$

$c = 6$

Now that we know the value of c, let's derive 2 system of equations we would use to solve for a and b simultaneously as follows.

Substituting (2, 16), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$16 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + 6$

$16 = 4a + 2b + 6$

$16 - 6 = 4a + 2b + 6 - 6$

$10 = 4a + 2b$

$10 = 2(2a + b)$

$\frac{10}{2} = \frac{2(2a + b)}{2}$

$5 = 2a + b$

$2a + b = 5$ => (Equation 1)

Substituting (3, 33), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + x$

$33 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + 6$

$33 = 9a + 3b + 6$

$33 - 6 = 9a + 3b + 6 - 6$

$27 = 9a + 3b$

$27 = 3(3a + b)$

$\frac{27}{3} = \frac{3(3a + b)}{3}$

$9 = 3a + b$

$3a + b = 9$ => (Equation 2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to solve simultaneously for a and b.

$3a + b = 9$

$2a + b = 5$

$a = 4$

Replace a with 4 in equation 2.

$2a + b = 5$

$2(4) + b = 5$

$8 + b = 5$

$8 + b - 8 = 5 - 8$

$b = -3$

The quadratic function that represents the given 3 points would be as follows:

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$f(x) = (4)x^2 + (-3)x + 6$

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Miguel wants to build a container out of sheet metal that has a volume of about 320 cubic inches . He

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

cylinder, has the least surface area

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to choose the shape that has the least surface area for the approximate volume desired. In general, the least area for the volume will be provided by a sphere, a "square" cylinder with height equal to diameter, and a cube, in order of increasing area.

We are asked to find the area and volume of two rectangular prisms, a cylinder, and a square pyramid. Then, we are to identify the shape with the least surface area. Volume and area formulas will be used for the purpose.

<h3>Rectangular Prism</h3>

The relevant formulas are ...

V = LWH

A = 2(LW +H(L +W))

for length L, width W, and height H.

<u>a)</u><u> prism 1</u>

The given dimensions are L = W = 8 in, H = 5 in. Then the volume and area are ...

V = (8 in)(8 in)(5 in) = 320 in³

A = 2((8 in)(8 in) +(5 in)(8 in +8 in)) = 2(64 in² +80 in²) = 288 in²

<u>b)</u><u> prism 2</u>

The given dimensions are L = 10 in, W = 8 in, H = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...

V = (10 in)(8 in)(4 in) = 320 in³

A = 2((10 in)(8 in) +(4 in)(10 in +8 in)) = 2(80 in² +72 in²) = 304 in²

<h3>Cylinder</h3>

The relevant formulas are ...

V = πr²h

A = 2πr(r +h)

for radius r and height h.

c) The given dimensions are r = 5 in, h = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...

V = π(5 in)²(4 in) = 100π in³ ≈ 314 in³

A = 2π(5 in)(5 in +4 in) = 90π in² ≈ 283 in²

<h3>Square Pyramid</h3>

The relevant formulas are ...

V = 1/3s²h

A = s(s +2H)

for base side dimension s, vertical height h, and slant height H.

d) The given dimensions are s = 10 in, h = 10 in, H = 14 in. Then the volume and area are ...

V = 1/3(10 in)²(10 in) = 1000/3 in³ ≈ 333 in³

A = (10 in)(10 in + 2×14 in) = 380 in²

<h3>Summary</h3>

The proposed figures have volume and area (rounded to the nearest unit) as follows:

$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-4}&shape&V (in^3)&A (in^2)\\\cline{1-4}a&rect prism&320&288\\b&rect prism&320&304\\c&cylinder&314&\bf283\\d&pyramid&333&380\\\cline{1-4}\end{tabular}$

The proposed <em>cylinder</em> requires the least amount of sheet metal for its construction. It has the least surface area of all of the shape choices offered.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

For a volume of 320 in³, a cube would have a surface area of 280.7 in². A "square" cylinder would have an area of 260.0 in². A sphere would have an area of 226.2 in². The above areas are somewhat larger because the shapes depart from the ideal aspect ratio.

Select each equation which is equivalent to 60% of 25.

krek1111 [17]

The equation which is equivalent to 60% of 25 are x • 1.6 = 25, 0.6 • 25 = x and x/25=60//100

Percentages can be expressed as decimals or fractions.

Given the expression 60% of 25, this can b expressed as:

60% of 25 = x

where x is the result of the expression.

60/100 * 25 = x

Expressing 60% as a decimal will give;

0.6 of 25 = x

0.6 * 25 = x

From the expression 60/100 * 25 = x, this can also be written as:

25 = 100/60 x

25 = 10/6 x

25 = 1.6x

Hence the equation which is equivalent to 60% of 25 are x • 1.6 = 25, 0.6 • 25 = x and x/25=60//100
