The number of pepperoni slices that kim puts on a pizza varies directly as the square of the diameter of the pizza. If she puts

15 slices on a 10" diameter pizza, how many slices should she put on a 16" diameter pizza?

You can make this into a fraction, and then simplify it.

15/10, right?

15/10 = 3/2

Then compare 3/2 to the rest of the equation

3/2 = x/16

2 * 8 = 16
so
3 * 8 = x
x = 24

Kim would put x number of pizza slices on her pizza.
So she would be putting on 24 slices on her pizza.

Varies directly as the square of the diameter
square means to multiply by itself or x^2
that means
k=x/y
in this case
x=15
y=10^2
k=15/10^2=15/100=3/20
so the new pizza is
k=x/16^2
k=3/20
3/20=x/16^2
evaluate 16^2
3/20=x/256
multiply both sides by 256
768/20=x
384/10=x
38.4=x
she should put about 38 slises

You throw a ball up and its height h can be tracked using the equation h=2x^2-12x+20.
postnew [5]

<em><u>This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists</u></em>

Answer:

1) There is no maximum height

2) The ball will never land

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Derivatives</u>

Sometimes we need to find the maximum or minimum value of a function in a given interval. The derivative is a very handy tool for this task. We only have to compute the first derivative f' and have it equal to 0. That will give us the critical points.

Then, compute the second derivative f'' and evaluate the critical points in there. The criteria establish that

If f''(a) is positive, then x=a is a minimum

If f''(a) is negative, then x=a is a maximum

1)

The function provided in the question is

h(x)=2x^2-12x+20

Let's find the first derivative

h'(x)=4x-12

solving h'=0:

4x-12=0

x=3

Computing h''

h''(x)=4

It means that no matter the value of x, the second derivative is always positive, so x=3 is a minimum. The function doesn't have a local maximum or the ball will never reach a maximum height

2)

To find when will the ball land, we set h=0

2x^2-12x+20=0

Simplifying by 2

x^2-6x+10=0

Completing squares

x^2-6x+9+10-9=0

Factoring and rearranging

(x-3)^2=-1

There is no real value of x to solve the above equation, so the ball will never land.

This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists

How can you represent all of the solutions to systems of inequalities?​
Dimas [21]

Answer:A closed, or shaded, circle is used to represent the inequalities greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤) . The point is part of the solution. An open circle is used for greater than (>) or less than (<). The point is not part of the solution. Solving" systems of linear inequalities means "graphing each individual inequality, and then finding the overlaps of the various solutions". So I graph each inequality, and then find the overlapping portions of the solution regions.Step 1: Line up the equations so that the variables are lined up vertically. Step 2: Choose the easiest variable to eliminate and multiply both equations by different numbers so that the coefficients of that variable are the same. Step 3: Subtract the two equations. Step 4: Solve the one variable system.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps have a great night ❤️❤️❤️

Volume of this prism ​
Lyrx [107]

The volume is (area of cross-section) x (length) .

-- The cross-section is a triangle.  The area of a triangle is

Area = (1/2) (base) (height) .

In this one, the base is 9/4 m and the height is 3-1/3 m .

Area = (1/2) (9/4 m) (3-1/3 m)

Area = (1/2) (9/4) (10/3)

Area = 90/24 m² .

-- Volume = (area of cross-section) x (length)

Volume = (90/24 m²) x (7-1/3 m)

Volume = (90/24) x (22/3) m³

Volume = (1,980 / 72) m³

<em>Volume = 27.5 m³  </em>
