And animals weight change from 12 pounds to 16 pounds what was the percent increase to the nearest whole number

amm1812

That's a 33% increase.

I calculated this using the formula:

$\frac{|n-o|}{o} * 100$

Where n = the new value (16 in your question), o = the old value (12 in your question) and the result is outputted as a percent increase. You can check that this is correct by finding 33% of 12, adding the result to 12, and checking that the result equals your "new" number.

Note that 33% is only an approximation as your question requires a number rounded to the nearest whole.

Consider the degree 5 polynomial function P(x)=x^5-4x^3+2x^2+3x-5. You do not need to factor this polynomial to answer the quest

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

5.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Linear Factorization Theorem, a polynomial function will have the same number of factors as its degree. We also know that these factors will have the form (x - c) where c is a complex number.

In this problem, and without factoring the polynomial, we observe that the <u>polynomial function is a 5 degree function so we can know that it will have 5 linear factors. </u>

A cylindrical canister contains three tennis balls. Assume the tennis balls touch the sides of the canister and the top and bott

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Ok, so we know that teh diameters of the 3 tennis balls added up equals the height of the canister

also, since the tennis balls touch the sides, the diameter of the tennis ball=diameter of the base

so what we do is
canister volume-3tennisballvolume=wasted space

normally alot of the equations are using radius so
2.7=diameter
diameter=2r
d/2=r
2.7/2=r
1.35=r

since we are to aprox volume to hundreth. use 3.14=pi

volume of cylinder=hpir^2
volume of sphere (tennis ball)=volume of spere= $\frac{4}{3}pir^{3}$

first find volume of cylinder

h=3 times diameter of 1 tennis ball=3 times 2.7=8.1
r=1.35
vofcylinder=8.1 times 3.14 times 1.35^2
v=25.434 times1.8225
v=46.353465 (keep as many digits a possible for accuracy)

volume of tennis balls=volume of shpere times 3
v= $\frac{4}{3}pir^{3}$ times 3
and we can see that the 4/3 and the 3 cancel to get 4
v= $4pir^{3}$
v= $4pi1.35^{3}$
v=4(3.14)(2.460375)
v=30.90231

so we have
volume of canister=46.353465 in^3
volume of tennis balls=30.90231 in^3
subtract
wasted space=46.353465-30.90231
wasted space=15.451155
round to hundreth
15.45

wasted space=15.45 in^3
