Answer:

The ratio of the slant heights of the two cones will also be n : m.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

If we take the vertical sections along any diameter of the base circle of the cones A and B then the triangular sections as we get will be similar.

Now, ratio of the base of the triangles A and B i.e. the ratio of the diameters of the cones A and B will be 2n : 2m = n : m and this will be the same as the ratios of other two sides of the triangles A and B.

Therefore, the ratio of the slant heights of the two cones will also be n : m. (Answer)

Factor the expression 8x^3y-8x^2y-30xy

miv72 [106K]

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

GCF = 2xy

Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

2xy(8x^3y/2xy + -8x^2y/2xy + -30xy/2xy)

Simplify each term in parenthesis

2xy(4x^2 - 4x - 15)

Split the second term in 4x^2 - 4x - 15 into two terms

2xy(4x^2 + 6x - 10x - 15)

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms;

2xy(2x(2x + 3) -5(2x + 3))

Factor out the common term 2x + 3

Answer:

23.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use phyth. Thm.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

A and B are the side lengths, and C is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is across the right angle.

Since you only have one side length and the hypotenuse this what your equation will look like:

30^2 + x^2 = 38^2

900 + x^ = 1444

544 = x^2

x = roughly 23.3

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in one to the equation to get (1)^3 - 2(1)^2, 1 to the power of anything is 1 so it boils down to 1-2, which is -1
