First, you will need to find the percentage of shots made for each person, or you can find the least common denominator. This is because it makes it easier to see how the numbers compare to each other in size. You can find the percentage of shots made by looking at how many shots a person made and dividing it by the total shots that person made, which us the denominator. Then, you would take the decimal and move it two places to the right. Once you find the percentages of all three people, you can then compare the percentages to each other. In this case, the higher the percentage, the better the shooter that person is.

mixer [17]
For this case the first thing you should do is find the volume of the sphere.
 We have then:
 V = (4/3) * (pi) * (r ^ 3)
 Where,
 r: sphere's radius
 Substituting values we have:
 V = (4/3) * (3.14) * ((3/2) ^ 3)
 V = 14.13 in ^ 3
 Answer:

Consider the function graphed below.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

B. (see attached)

Step-by-step explanation:

All the answers agree that the function is x² for x < 1. Where they disagree is in the slope and y-intercept of the linear portion for x > 1.

The line has a slope that is less than 1 unit of rise for 1 unit of run, so will not be selections A or C, which have slopes of 3.

The y-intercept is clearly positive if we extend the line to the left until it reaches the y-axis. This eliminates selection D from consideration, leaving only selection B.
