Answer:

4pq(p³+q³)

Step-by-step explanation:

Exactly 5 game would be when 4 wins and 1 loss of a particular person

loss has to be one of the first 4 games

A wins: qp⁴ + pqp³ + p²qp² + p³qp

= qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ = 4qp⁴

B wins: pq⁴ + qpq³ + q²pq² + q³pq

= pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ = 4pq⁴

A wins or B wins:

4pq⁴ + 4qp⁴ = 4pq(q³+p³)

A cylinder with a radius of 1 cm and a height of 21 cm has the same volume as a cone with a height of 7 cm. What is the radius o
Maru [420]
Volume of the cylinder = πr²h = π(1)² (21) = 21π cm³

Volume of the cone = 1/3 π r² h

21π = 1/3 π (r)² (7)

r³ = 21π ÷ (7/3 π) 

r² = 9

r = 3

Answer : Radius = 3

Answer:

As the slope is -2, so the rate of change of the function is:

  • rate of change of function = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is basically the rate of change of a function.

Let us take the two points from the graph

  • (0, 5)
  • (4, -3)

Taking the slope between two points to determine the rate of change of a function

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:-3\right)

m=-2

As the slope is -2, so the rate of change of the function is:

  • rate of change of function = -2
