Answer:

1.778 times more or 16/9 times more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''

- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"

Find:

Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?

Solution:

- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:

                                           LGP ∝ A

- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:

                                           A ∝ D^2

- Hence,                              LGP ∝ D^2

- Now compare the two diameters given:

                                           LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2

                                           LGP ∝ (D_2)^2

- Take a ratio of both:

                           LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2

- Plug in the values:

                               LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2

- Compute:             LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more

It’s not 0.615 , or 0.75 or the one shown in the picture
Dafna1 [17]
2.40714

1) Let's evaluate that expression, given that a=4.9, b=-7, and c=-0.5

\begin{gathered} a^3\div b^2+c^3 \\ (4.9)^3\div(-7)^2+(-0.5)^3= \\ \frac{4.9^3}{\left(-7\right)^2+\left(-0.5\right)^3} \\  \\ \frac{4.9^3}{48.875} \\  \\ \frac{117.649}{48.875} \\  \\ 2.40714 \end{gathered}

Note that we have rewritten it as a fraction so that we can easily operate. Also, we have applied here the PEMDAS order of operations, prioritizing the exponents.
