Y=-.3x^2+3x 

....

-2x+5.5y=19.5

5.5y=19.5+2x

y=(19.5+2x)/5.5

When the light touches the parabola y=y so

(19.5+2x)/5.5=-.3x^2+3x  multiply both sides by 5.5

19.5+2x=-1.65x^2+16.5x  add 1.65x^2 to both sides

1.65x^2+2x+19.5=16.5x  subtract 16.5x from both sides

1.65x^2-14.5x+19.5=0

Using the quadratic equation for simplicity...

x=(14.5±√81.55)/3.3  we only need the lower point, or the smaller value of x

x≈1.657423  since:

y=(19.5+2x)/5.5

y≈4.15 units

Kishore bought a basket containing 30 orangs for rs 310. If he sells the orangs at rs 12 each , what Would be it's profit or los
iris [78.8K]

Given : Kishore bought a basket containing 30 oranges for rs 310. If he sells the oranges at rs 12 each , what Would be it's profit or loss?

Solution :

Cost price of oranges = rs.310

As we know that each oranges cost rs.12

So, selling price of oranges is 30 × 12 = rs.360

Now, <u>finding profit or loss</u>

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

Profit = rs.360 - rs.310

Profit = rs.50

  • So, the profit is ₹50

The volume of a sphere is 3,000π m3. What is the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square meter? 165 m2 2,158 m2 1,079 m
DENIUS [597]
To solve this problem and calculate the area of the sphere, you must apply the following formulas:

 Formula N° 1:

 V=4/3(πr³)  

 V is the volume of the sphere (V=3,000π m³).
 r is the radius.

 Formula N° 2:

 A=4πr²

 A is the area of the sphere.
 r is the radius.

 As you can see, you don't have the value of the radius "r". So, you must rewrite the Formula N° 1, and clear "r":

 V=4/3(πr³)
 (3,000)(3)=4πr²
 r³=9,000/4π
 r=(9,000/4π)<span>^1/3
</span> r=13.1037 m

 Then, to calculate the area of the sphere, you must substitute the value of "r" into the Formula N° 2:

 A=4πr²
 A=4π(13.1037)²
 A=2,158 m²

 <span>What is the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square meter?
</span>
 The answer is: 2,158 m²
