Answer:

196

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the largest share was 56 and the largest ratio is 14, then

56 ÷ 14 = 4 ← value of 1 part of the share, thus

8 parts = 8 × 4 = 32

6 parts = 6 × 4 = 24

9 parts = 9 × 4 = 36

14 parts = 14 × 4 = 56

12 parts = 12 × 4 = 48

Total the amounts

total = 32 + 24 + 36 + 56 + 48 = 196

Evaluate f(-3) for f(x) = 2^x<br> a. 1/8<br> b. -8<br> c. 8<br> d. -6

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-3) = 2^-3

to get rid of a negative in an exponent, move the whole thing to the denominator.

1/(2^3)

2^3 = 2×2×2

1/(2×2×2)

For hw plss help!!!!

yarga [219]

Answer:

4th term is 274.4 cm

5th term is 192.08 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the 4th and 5th term

Let us get the common ratio;

That would be ;

392/560 = 560/800 = 0.7

The 4th term will be ar^3

= 800 * 0.7^3 = 274.4

The 5th term will be ar^4

= 800 * 0.7^4 = 192.08

Archimedes calculated the volume of a sphere by comparing it to what solid? prism cylinder pyramid box

Stella [2.4K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

cylinder

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Archimedes was a brilliant mathematician. This man rose the formula of the volume of a sphere by comparing this shape to a cylinder. The volume of a sphere is hard to calculate by comparing this object to a cube. So Archimedes imagined cutting a sphere into two halves, called hemispheres. So an hemisphere gave him a flat surface, which is easier to work with. Therefore, if he'd find the volume of a hemisphere, then he'd multiply the result by 2 and would get the volume of a sphere. Then he imagined a hemisphere within a cylinder as the one shown below. Also, he imagined a cone within the same cylinder. <em>What did he find? </em>He found that the volume of the hemisphere should be equal to the volume of the cylinder minus the volume of the cone:

$V=\pi r^3-\frac{1}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ V=\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3$

Then the volume of a sphere is twice this volume:

$\boxed{V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3}$
