A spherical hot-air balloon has a diameter of 55 feet. When the balloon is inflated, the radius increases at a rate of 1.5 feet

per minute. Approximately how long does it take to inflate the balloon to Two-thirds of its maximum volume? Use π = 3.14 and V = four-thirds pi r cubed.

Answer:

The time it would take to inflate the balloon to approximately two-thirds of its maximum volume is approximately 46.90 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The diameter of  the balloon  = 55 feet

The rate of increase of the radius of the balloon when inflated = 1.5 feet per minute

We have;

dr/dt = 1.5 feet per minute = 1.5 ft/min

V = 4/3·π·r³

The maximum volume of the balloon = 4/3 × 3.14 × 55³ = 696556.67 ft³

When the volume is two-thirds the maximum volume, we have;

2/3 × 696556.67 ft³ = 464371.11 ft³

The value of the radius, r₂ at that point is found as follows;

4/3·π·r₂³ = 464371.11 ft³

r₂³ = 464371.11 ft³ × 3/4 = 348278.33 ft³

348278.333333

r₂ = ∛(348278.33 ft³) ≈ 70.36 ft

The time for the radius to increase to the above length = Length/(Rate of increase of length of the radius)

The time for the radius to increase to the above length ≈ 70.369 ft/(1.5 ft/min) ≈ 46.90 minutes

The time it would take to inflate the balloon to approximately two-thirds of its maximum volume ≈ 46.90 minutes.

Find an equation in standard form of the parabola passing through these points: (0,-6),(-1,-12),(3,0)
Elan Coil [88]
One form of the equation of a parabola is
y = ax² + bx + c

The curve passes through (0,-6), (-1,-12) and (3,0). Therefore
c = - 6                       (1)
a - b + c = -12            (2)
9a + 3b + c = 0         (3)

Substitute (1) into (2) and into (3).
a - b -6 = -12
a - b = -6                  (4)
9a + 3b - 6 = 0
9a + 3b = 6              (5)

Substitute a = b - 6 from (4) into (5).
9(b - 6) + 3b = 6
12b - 54 = 6
12b = 60
b = 5
a = b - 6 = -1

The equation is
y = -x² + 5x - 6 

Let us use completing the square to write the equation in standard form for a parabola.
y = -[x² - 5x] - 6
   = -[ (x - 2.5)² - 2.5²] - 6
   = -(x - 2.5)² + 6.25 - 6

y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25
This is the standdard form of the equation for the parabola.
The vertex us at (2.5, 0.25).
The axis of symmetry is x = 2.5
Because the leading coefficient is -1 (negative), the curve opens downward.
The graph is shown below.

Answer: y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25

If 3220 = 80+7, what is the value of c?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Correct option is

C

36.25

Modal class =30−40

So we have, l=30,f0=12,f1=32,f2=20 and h=10

⇒  Mode=l+2f1−f0f2f1−f0×h

                  =30+2×32−12−2032−12×10

                  =30+6.25

                  =36.25

∴  Mode =36.25

A) work out the radius of the mercury, giving your answer as an ordinary number
guapka [62]

Answer:

a. 2,440 km

b. 1.33*10^{27} kg

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Diameter of Mercury = 4.88*10^3

Radius of Mercury = ½ of its diameter = \frac{4.88*10^3}{2}

Radius of Mercury = 2.44*10^3

To convert the radius to ordinary number, multiply 2.44 by 1,000.

Radius of Mercury as an ordinary number = 2.44*1,000 = 2,440 km

b. Mass of Jupiter = 1.898*10^{27} kg

Mass of Saturn = 5.68*10^{26} kg

Difference between mass of Jupiter and mass of Saturn = 1.898*10^{27} - 5.68*10^{26} (subtract 5.68 from 1.898 = 5.68. we would retain the largest exponent, which is raised to the lower of 27.)

= 1.33*10^{27}

consider the following scenario: Assume daily protein intake values in a population of athletes are known to have a standard dev
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean daily protein intake is between 69.97g and 84.03g.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96*\frac{58.6}{\sqrt{267}} = 7.03

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 77 - 7.03 = 69.97g.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 77 + 7.03 = 84.03g.

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean daily protein intake is between 69.97g and 84.03g.
