Answer:  800 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets remove the brackets from the function's expression

A(x) = -2x²+80x

So we got the quadratic function and we have to find the x that corresponds to function's maximum. Let it be X max

As we know Xmax= (X1+X2)/2 , where X1 and X2 are the roots of the function A(x)

Lets find X1 and X2

x(80-2x)=0

x1=0   80-2*X2=0

x2=40

So Xmax= (0+40)/2=20

So Amax= A(20)= 20*(80-2*20)=20*40=800 feet²

Find the diameter of the sphere with the volume of 36 pi cubic units
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

{ \tt{volume =  \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3} }} \\ 36\pi =  \frac{4}{3} \pi \times  {(2d)}^{3}  \\  \frac{36 \times 3}{4}  = 8 {d}^{3}  \\ 27 = 8 {d}^{3}  \\  {d}^{3}  =  \frac{27}{8}  \\ diameter = 1.5 \: units
