Jake made a wooden cone with a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 4.5 inches. What is the volume of this cone?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

42.42in³

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a cone

Step one

We know that the volume of a cone is

V= 1/3πr²h

Given data

Diameter d= 6 inches

Radius r= diameter/2= 6/2= 3 inches

Height h = 4.5 inches

Step two

Substituting our given data we have

Volume = 1/3*3.142*3²*4.5

V= 1/3*3.142*9*4.5

V= 127.251/3

V= 42.42in³

Find a quadratic polynomial the sum and product of whose zeroes are -8 and 12 respectively. Hence find the zeroes.
Olenka [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

We khow the sum and the product of the zeroes of this quadratic polynomial

Here is a trick :

when we khow the sum S and the product P ofvtwo numbers we can find them by solving :

x²-Sx+p=0

here S= -8 and P=12

so:

x²+8x+12=0

Let Δ be the discrminant of this equation: a= 1 , b= 8 and c=12

Δ= 8²-4*12 =16

the zeros are:

(-8-4)/2= -6

(-8+4)/2 = -2

verify:

-6+(-2)= -8

-2*(-6)= 12

now the polynomial quadratic is:

(x+6)(x+2)

Find all of the x-intercepts of the polynomial function <br>p(x) = 3x^3-23x^2+33x–5​
kari74 [83]

Answer:

x=5/3

x= 3+2\sqrt{2}

x=  3-2\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

if graphed the x intercepts would be (5/3 , 0) (3+2\sqrt{2} ) (3-2\sqrt{2})

y intercepts (0,-5)
