Answer:

The coordinates of M are (2,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the point that divides the line segment joining

$A(x_1,y_1)$ to $B(x_2,y_2)$ in the ratio m:n is given by:

$(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})$

If A is at (-4,-2) and B is at (4. -10) and the ratio is 3:1.

Then

$(\frac{3(4)+1(-4)}{3+1},\frac{3(-10)+1(-2)}{3+1})$

$(\frac{8}{4},\frac{-32}{4})$

The coordinates of M are (2,-8)

Cone details:

height: h cm

radius: r cm

Sphere details:

radius: 10 cm

================

From the endpoints (EO, UO) of the circle to the center of the circle (O), the radius is will be always the same.

Using Pythagoras Theorem

(a)

TO² + TU² = OU²

(h-10)² + r² = 10² [insert values]

r² = 10² - (h-10)² [change sides]

r² = 100 - (h² -20h + 100) [expand]

r² = 100 - h² + 20h -100 [simplify]

r² = 20h - h² [shown]

r = √20h - h² ["r" in terms of "h"]

(b)

volume of cone = 1/3 * π * r² * h

===========================

$\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} * \pi * (\sqrt{20h - h^2})^2 \ ( h)$

$\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} * \pi * (20h - h^2) (h)$

$\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} * \pi * (20 - h) (h) ( h)$

$\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi h^2(20-h)$

To find maximum/minimum, we have to find first derivative.

(c)

First derivative

$\Longrightarrow \sf V' =\dfrac{d}{dx} ( \dfrac{1}{3} \pi h^2(20-h) )$

apply chain rule

$\sf \Longrightarrow V'=\dfrac{\pi \left(40h-3h^2\right)}{3}$

Equate the first derivative to zero, that is V'(x) = 0

$\Longrightarrow \sf \dfrac{\pi \left(40h-3h^2\right)}{3}=0$

$\Longrightarrow \sf 40h-3h^2=0$

$\Longrightarrow \sf h(40-3h)=0$

$\Longrightarrow \sf h=0, \ 40-3h=0$

$\Longrightarrow \sf h=0,\:h=\dfrac{40}{3}$

maximum volume: when h = 40/3

$\sf \Longrightarrow max= \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (\dfrac{40}{3} )^2(20-\dfrac{40}{3} )$

$\sf \Longrightarrow maximum= 1241.123 \ cm^3$

minimum volume: when h = 0

$\sf \Longrightarrow min= \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (0)^2(20-0)$

$\sf \Longrightarrow minimum=0 \ cm^3$

One month Sam rented 3 movies and 8 video games for a total of $55 . The next month he rented 5 movies and 2 video games for a t

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to find the values of two quantities, so you will need to set up a system of two equations in two variables. We'll call M the price of a movie and V the price of a video game.

The first month: 3 movies, 8 video games, $55. Let's translate this into algebra:

3M + 8V = 55

The second month: 5 movies, 2 video games, $18. Translated:

5M + 2V = 18

Solve that system of equations
