A rectangular container is 12cm long, 11cm wide and 10cm high. The container is filled with water to a depth of 8cm. A metal sph

ere of radius 3.5 cm is placed in the water and sinks to the bottom. Calculate the rise in water level, giving your answer in 3 significant figures.
Please can you show workings out? Many thanks

1) Initial volume of water inside the container: V1

V1 = 12cm*11cm*8cm = 1056 cm^3

2) Volumen of the sphere: V2

V2 = [4/3]π(r^3) = [4/3]π(3.5cm)^3 = 179.59 cm^3

3) Volume of the water plus the sphere: V3

V3 = V1+V2 = 1056 cm^3 +179.59cm^3 = 1,235.59 cm^3

4) Final level of the water inside the container: h

h = 1,239.59cm^3 / (12cm*11cm) = 9.36 cm

Which expression is equivalent to [(3xy^-5)^3 / (x^-2y^2)^-4]^-2
True [87]
<span>The answer is (x</span>¹⁰<span>y</span>¹⁴<span>)/729.

Explanation:
We can begin simplifying inside the innermost parentheses using the properties of exponents. The power of a power property says when you raise a power to a power, you multiply the exponents. This gives us

[(3</span>³<span>x</span>³<span>y</span>⁻¹⁵<span>)/(x</span>⁸<span>y</span>⁻⁸<span>)]</span>⁻²<span>.

Negative exponents tell us to "flip" sides of the fraction, so within the parentheses we have
[(3</span>³<span>x</span>³<span>y</span>⁸<span>)/(x</span>⁸<span>y</span>¹⁵<span>)]</span>⁻²<span>.

Using the quotient property, we subtract exponents when dividing powers, which gives us
(3</span>³<span>/x</span>⁵<span>y</span>⁷<span>)</span>⁻²<span>.

Evaluating 3</span>³<span>, we have
(27/x</span>⁵<span>y</span>⁷<span>)</span>⁻²<span>.

Using the power of a power property again, we have
27</span>⁻²<span>/x</span>⁻¹⁰<span>y</span>⁻¹⁴<span>.

Flipping the negative exponents again gives us x</span>¹⁰<span>y</span>¹⁴<span>/729.</span>

If x/y + y/x = -1 , ( x unequal y, y unequal 0) then the value of x^2 - y^2 is?
Maurinko [17]

Take your original equation \frac{x}{y} +\frac{y}{x} =-1

and multiply both sides by xy to remove the fractions. You are left with

x^2+y^2=-xy

So, x^2+y^2=-xy

Update: There is no numerical answer that can be found without being given a value for either x or y
