A cereal company is exploring new cylinder-shaped containers. Two possible containers are shown in the diagram.x is 6 and r=4.5

y is 10.5 and r=3 If both containers have labels covering their lateral surfaces, which container will have less label area and by how much? Container Y by about 42 in.2. Container X by about 28 in.2. Container Y by about 9 in.2. Container X by about 85 in.2.

Answer:

Container \rm X will have less label area than container \rm Y by about 9\; \rm in.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular sheet of paper can be rolled into a cylinder. Conversely, the lateral surface of a cylinder can be unrolled into a rectangle- without changing the area of that surface.

Indeed, the width of that rectangle will be the same as the height of the cylinder. On the other hand, the length of that rectangle should be exactly equal to the circumference of the circles on the top and the bottom of the cylinder. In other words, if a cylinder has a height of h and a radius of r at the top and the bottom, then its lateral surface can be unrolled into a rectangle of width h and length 2\,\pi\, r.

Apply this reasoning to both cylinder \mathrm{X} and \rm Y:

For cylinder \mathrm{X}, h = 6\; \rm in while r = 4.5\; \rm in. Therefore, when the lateral side of this cylinder is unrolled:

  • The width of the rectangle will be 6\; \rm in, while
  • The length of the rectangle will be 2 \, \pi \times 4.5\; \rm in = 9\, \pi\; \rm in.

That corresponds to a lateral surface area of 54\, \pi\; \rm in^2.

For cylinder \rm Y, h = 10.5\; \rm in while r = 3\; \rm in. Similarly, when the lateral side of this cylinder is unrolled:

  • The width of the rectangle will be 10.5\; \rm in, while
  • The length of the rectangle will be 2\pi\times 3\; \rm in = 6\,\pi \; \rm in.

That corresponds to a lateral surface area of 63\,\pi \; \rm in^2.

Therefore, the lateral surface area of cylinder \rm X is smaller than that of cylinder \rm Y by 9\,\pi\; \rm in^2.

The price of a gym membership has a one-time sign-up fee and a monthly fee. The price can be modeled by the function y = 10x + 1
monitta
15; it represents the one-time sign-up fee

The y-intercept can be found either on the graph where the line intercepts the y-axis, or b in the equation y=mx+b.

It represents the fee because it will be charged even if the number of months (x) is zero. 10 is the monthly fee because it is multiplied by x, the number of months.

For which values of P and Q does the following equation have infinitely many solutions ?
solmaris [256]

Answer:

(P, Q) = (-75, 57)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will have infinitely many solutions when it is a tautology.

Subtract the right side from the equation:

Px +57 -(-75x +Q) = 0

x(P+75) +(57 -Q) = 0

This will be a tautology (0=0) when ...

P+75 = 0

P = -75

and

57-Q = 0

57 = Q

_____

These values in the original equation make it ...

-75x +57 = -75x +57 . . . . . a tautology, always true

ss7ja [257]
The waitress earns $425 weekly.

Work:
Use proportions.
x 4
------- = ------
4,200 100

4,200 x 4 = 16800
100 multiply x = 100x
16800 divided by 100 = 168
Commission = $168
Base salary = $257
$168 + $257 = $425
