Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x,x+1,x+2,x+3,x+4,x+5,x+6,x+7,x+8

be 9 integers

x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5+x+6+x+7+x+8=9x+36=9(x+4)

which is divisible by 9

What is the volume of the composite figure shown? (Use 3.14 for π.)

Nimfa-mama [501]

$The\ volume\ of\ the\ cone:V_1=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 H\\(r-a\ radius;\ H-height)\\------------------\\r=7ft;\ H=7ft\\\\V_1=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot7^2\cdot7=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot343=\frac{343}{3}\pi\ (ft^2)\\-------------------\\The\ volume\ of\ the\ cylinder:V_2=\pi r^2 H\\(r-a\ radius;\ H-height)\\-------------------\\r=7ft;\ H=6ft\\\\V_2=\pi\cdot7^2\cdot6=294\pi\ (ft^3)\\------------------------\\The\ volume\ of\ the\ composite\ figure: V_F=V_1+V_2$

$V_F=\frac{343}{3}\pi+294\pi=\frac{343}{3}\pi+\frac{294\cdot3}{3}\pi=\frac{343}{3}\pi+\frac{882}{3}\pi=\boxed{\frac{1225}{3}\pi\ (ft^3)}\\\\\approx\frac{1225}{3}\cdot3.14}=\frac{3846.5}{3}\approx\boxed{1,282.17\ (ft^3)}\leftarrow answer$

Suppose two different states each pick a two-digit lottery number between 00 and 99 (for a 100 possible numbers).

Neporo4naja [7]

A. 1/10000 because it is a 1/100 chance for each.
b. 1/100 because there are 10,000 options and 100 of them are the same options. Simplify for the answer.

If f(x) = 3x – 4 and g(x) = x, find the value of f(3) – g(2).

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(3) = 3(3)-4

f(3)= 9-4

f(3) = 5

g(2) = (2)

g(2) = 2

f(3)-g(2) = ?

(5) - (2) = ?

(5) - (2) = 3

8 customers entered a store over the course of 16 minutes. At what rate were the customers entering the store in minutes per cus

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

<h3>2min/customer</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

If 8 customers entered a store over the course of 16 minutes, then;

8 customers = 16 minutes.

The rate at which the customers are entering is expressed as;

Rate = Time (in minutes)/amount of customers;

Given

Time = 16 minutes

Amount of customers = 8 customers

Rate = 16min/8customers

Rate = 2min/customer

Hence the rate at which the customers entering the store in minutes per customer is 2min/customer.
