An architect was asked to build a special staircase in a new building. The staircase will be built like a helix that rotates aro

und the outside of a cylindrical waterfall. Because it is a helix, the beginning of the staircase begins at a point directly above the position where the staircase ends at the bottom base of the column. Describe how to find the length of the staircase if the cylinder it surrounds is 30 m in height and has a radius of 12 m

Answer:

\Delta s \approx 754.579\,m (See explanation below).

Step-by-step explanation:

Each floor has a height of 3 meters. Then, the number of floors of the cylinder is:

n = \frac{30\,m}{3\,m}

n = 10\,floors

Let consider that spiral makes a revolution per floor. Then, the parametric equations of the spiral are:

x = r\cdot \cos \theta

y = r\cdot \sin \theta

z = \Delta h \cdot \frac{\theta}{2\pi}

Length of the staircase can be modelled by using the formula for arc length:

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{d\theta} \right) ^{2}+\left(\frac{dy}{d\theta} \right)^{2}+\left(\frac{dz}{d\theta}\right)^{2}}} \, d\theta

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{\left(-r\cdot \sin \theta\right)^{2}+\left(r\cdot \cos \theta\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{\Delta h}{2\pi} \right)^{2}} } \, d\theta

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{r^{2}+\frac{(\Delta h)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} }} \, d\theta

\Delta s = \sqrt{(12\,m)^{2}+\frac{(3\,m)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} } \cdot (20\pi-0)

\Delta s \approx 754.579\,m

Otero translated the phrase "three less than a number" into the expression 3 minus x. Which best describes the accuracy of Otero
fomenos

Correct Question:

Otero translated the phrase "three less than a number" into the expression 3 minus x. Which best describes the accuracy of Otero's expression?.

a. It is accurate. The phrase can be translated as "three" = 3, "less than" = subtraction, and "a number" = X, SO 3- X is the correct expression.

b. It is inaccurate. Three is being subtracted from a number, so X-3 is what he should have written.

c. It is inaccurate. Three is being compared to a number, so 3 It is inaccurate. Three is being added to a number, so 3+ x is what he should have written.

Answer:

The answer is B because three less than a number means that a 3 is less than some number X meaning three is being subtracted from X. So equation should be X-3 rather than 3-X.

Solve for n: 3(n+6)≥3n+8
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

3(n+6)≥3n+8

3n+18≥3n+8 (distributive property)

18≥8 (subtracted 3n from both sides)

this will always be true so there are infinite solutions
