[(49 - x^2)^(1/2) + 9x^2(49 - x^2)^(-1/2)] / (49 - x^2)
= (49 - x^2)^(-1/2) * [(49 - x^2) + 9x^2 * 1] / (49 - x^2), via factoring
= (49 + 8x^2) / [(49 - x^2) (49 - x^2)^(1/2)]
= (49 + 8x^2) / (49 - x^2)^(3/2).

I hope this helps!

A cone has a slant length of 10 and a diameter of 8. Height is unknown.

patriot [66]

Answer: 153.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formulas:

Volume of a cone: 1/3 π r² h

Where r is the radius and h is the height (unknown)

Diameter = r x 2

8 = 2r

8/2 =r

r = 4

Before calculating the volume we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find h. (where the slant is the hypotenuse and h and r are the sides of the triangle)

10 ² = h² + 4²

Solving for h

100 = h² + 16

100-16 = h²

84= h²

√84 =h

9.16= h

Back on the volume formula:

V= 1/3 π r² h

V =1/3 π 4² (9.16) =153.56
