Answer:

You bought 5 pounds of bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we assign variables.

Let the number of pounds of bananas bought be b and the number of pounds of apple bought be a .

One more pound of apples than bananas were bought.

Mathematically this means a - b = 1 or a = b+ 1 .........(i)

The total cost of apples bought is 3.4 * a = $3.4a

The total cost of bananas bought is 2.30 * b = $2.30b

Now the addition of both equals $31.90

Thus, we have;

3.4a + 2.3b = 31.9 •••••••••(ii)

From i, we can substitute for a

3.4(b+1) + 2.3b = 31.9

3.4b + 3.4 + 2.3b = 31.9

5.7b + 3.4 = 31.9

5.7b = 31.9 - 3.4

5.7b = 28.5

b = 28.5/5.7

b = 5 pounds

4/5 minus 1/3 plz i need help
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 4 by 3, and get 12.

Then we multiply 1 by 5, and get 5.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 5 × 3 = 15.

So now our fractions look like this:

12

15

−  

5

15

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

12 − 5 = 7

So the answer is:

7

15

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 5...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 7...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 11...

No good. 11 is larger than 7. So we're done reducing.

Hello people ~
Luden [163]

Cone details:

  • height: h cm
  • radius: r cm

Sphere details:

  • radius: 10 cm

================

From the endpoints (EO, UO) of the circle to the center of the circle (O), the radius is will be always the same.

<u>Using Pythagoras Theorem</u>

(a)

TO² + TU² = OU²

(h-10)² + r² = 10²                                   [insert values]

r² = 10² - (h-10)²                                     [change sides]

r² = 100 - (h² -20h + 100)                       [expand]

r² = 100 - h² + 20h -100                        [simplify]

r² = 20h - h²                                          [shown]

r = √20h - h²                                       ["r" in terms of "h"]

(b)

volume of cone = 1/3 * π * r² * h

===========================

\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3}  * \pi  * (\sqrt{20h - h^2})^2  \  ( h)

\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3}  * \pi  * (20h - h^2)  (h)

\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3}  * \pi  * (20 - h) (h) ( h)

\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi h^2(20-h)

To find maximum/minimum, we have to find first derivative.

(c)

<u>First derivative</u>

\Longrightarrow \sf V' =\dfrac{d}{dx} ( \dfrac{1}{3} \pi h^2(20-h) )

<u>apply chain rule</u>

\sf \Longrightarrow V'=\dfrac{\pi \left(40h-3h^2\right)}{3}

<u>Equate the first derivative to zero, that is V'(x) = 0</u>

\Longrightarrow \sf \dfrac{\pi \left(40h-3h^2\right)}{3}=0

\Longrightarrow \sf 40h-3h^2=0

\Longrightarrow \sf h(40-3h)=0

\Longrightarrow \sf h=0, \ 40-3h=0

\Longrightarrow \sf  h=0,\:h=\dfrac{40}{3}<u />

<u>maximum volume:</u>                <u>when h = 40/3</u>

\sf \Longrightarrow max=  \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (\dfrac{40}{3} )^2(20-\dfrac{40}{3} )

\sf \Longrightarrow maximum= 1241.123 \ cm^3

<u>minimum volume:</u>                 <u>when h = 0</u>

\sf \Longrightarrow min=  \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (0)^2(20-0)

\sf \Longrightarrow minimum=0 \ cm^3
