Answer:
2 is -1/3
3 is -6
4 is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is 7x + 8x = 3x - 4
3 is 5x + (-3) = 2x + (-15)
4 is -4x + 17 = 6x -3
I can't answer this question if we don't know by what scale the cylinder's radius was reduced. Luckily, I found the same problem that says the radius was reduced to 2/5. So, we find the ratio of both volumes.
V₁ = πr₁²h₁
V₂ = πr₂²h₂
where r₂ = 2/5*r₁ and h₂ = 4h₁
V₂/V₁ = π(2/5*r₁ )²(4h₁)/πr₁²h₁= 8/5 or 1.6
<em>Thus, the volume has increased more by 60%.</em>
For a cube,

The volume is the cube of the side length.


To raise a product to an exponent, raise each factor to the exponent.

To raise a power to a power, multiply powers.
