Hello,

To find the value of (1 - x)³ when x = -3, you just need to substitute x = -3 into the given expression.

(1 - (-3)³
(1 + 3)³
4³
64

Your final answer is D, 64. Hopefully it helps! :D

A Norman window is a window with a semi-circle on top of regular rectangular window. (See the picture.) What should be the dimen

Vikki [24]

Answer:

bottom side (a) = 3.36 ft

lateral side (b) = 4.68 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to maximize the area of the window, subject to a constraint in the perimeter of the window.

If we defined a as the bottom side, and b as the lateral side, we have the area defined as:

$A=A_r+A_c/2=a\cdot b+\dfrac{\pi r^2}{2}=ab+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\left (\dfrac{a}{2}\right)^2=ab+\dfrac{\pi a^2}{8}$

The restriction is that the perimeter have to be 12 ft at most:

$P=(a+2b)+\dfrac{\pi a}{2}=2b+a+(\dfrac{\pi}{2}) a=2b+(1+\dfrac{\pi}{2})a=12$

We can express b in function of a as:

$2b+(1+\dfrac{\pi}{2})a=12\\\\\\2b=12-(1+\dfrac{\pi}{2})a\\\\\\b=6-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)a$

Then, the area become:

$A=ab+\dfrac{\pi a^2}{8}=a(6-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)a)+\dfrac{\pi a^2}{8}\\\\\\A=6a-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)a^2+\dfrac{\pi a^2}{8}\\\\\\A=6a-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\pi}{4}-\dfrac{\pi}{8}\right)a^2\\\\\\A=6a-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\pi}{8}\right)a^2$

To maximize the area, we derive and equal to zero:

$\dfrac{dA}{da}=6-2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\pi}{8}\right )a=0\\\\\\6-(1-\pi/4)a=0\\\\a=\dfrac{6}{(1+\pi/4)}\approx6/1.78\approx 3.36$

Then, b is:

$b=6-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)a\\\\\\b=6-0.393*3.36=6-1.32\\\\b=4.68$

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21 meters cubed. A sphere with height h a

8090 [49]

Answer:

C. 14 metres cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is denoted by: $V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ , where r is the radius, while the volume of a cylinder is denoted by: $V=\pi r^2h$ , where r is the radius and h is the height.

Here, we know that the sphere and cylinder have the same radius and height. However, the "height" of the sphere is technically just the diameter, which is twice the radius. So, h = 2r. We know the volume of the cylinder is 21, so:

$V=\pi r^2h=\pi r^2*2r=2\pi r^3$
