Grandma Edith uses her big punch bowl at family gatherings. The bowl is half of a sphere, with a diameter of 30 cm. Her ladle is

also half of a sphere, with a diameter of 8 cm. How many ladles can Grandma Edith scoop from the punch bowl? use 3.14 to approximate pi and express your answer as a whole number. show your work.

Our first instinct is to go through every step ...

-- calculate the volume of the bowl
-- calculate the volume of the ladle
-- divide the volume of the bowl by the volume of the ladle

and we may even start down that path.  But we soon realize that
it's going to be painful and take a lot of time.  So we stop right
where we are, and consider our options. 
We have two options: 
            #1). Give up, quit, and walk away. 
            #2). Find a smarter way to do it.

Look at the formula for the volume of a sphere:

           Volume = (4/3 π) (radius³) .

Do you see that ?  The radius³ is a factor in the volume of
every sphere.  That means that if you multiply the radius
of a sphere by (a number), the volume of the sphere gets
multiplied by (the same number)³ ! 

How does that help us with this problem ?  Well, it also means
that the ratio of the volumes of two spheres is

                         (the ratio of their radii)³.

Radius of the bowl  =  15 inches
Radius of the ladle  =   4 inches
Ratio of their radii  =  (15/4)  =  3.75

 
  So the bowl holds  (3.75)³  as much as the ladle holds.

  
(3.75)³  =  52.73 ...

  
The bowl holds  52.73 ... times as much as the ladle.

   After Grandma Edith scoops 52 ladle-fulls from the bowl,
there will be less than 1 ladle-full remaining in there. 

And we did it all without even knowing π .

1) we calculate the volume of the big punch bowl
Volume (half sphere)=(1/2)(4/3)πr³=2/3πr³
radius=30 cm / 2=15 cm

Volume=(2/3)π(15 cm)³=2250π cm³

2) we calculate the volume of the ladle:
radius=8 cm/2=4 cm
Volume=(2/3)π(4 cm)³=128π/3 cm³

3) we calculate the number of ladles by the rule of three.
1 ladle----------------------128π/3 cm³
x------------------------------2250π cm³

x=(1 ladle * 2250π cm³) / (128π/3 cm³)=52.73 ladles≈52 ladles

Answer: 52 ladles.

We are given the expression x³ - 2y² - 3x³ + z⁴. We have to evaluate it at a given set of x, y, and z values. Before then, let's combine like terms.

x³ - 2y² - 3x³ + z⁴

= -2x³ - 2y² + z⁴ <-- by combining like terms

Now we evaluate for x=3 y=5 z = -3

= -2(3³) - 2(5²) + (-3⁴) <-- by putting in for x, y, z

= -2(27) - 2(25) + 81 <--- parentheses and exponents first in order of operations

= -54 - 50 + 81 <---- multiplication is next

= -4 + 81

= 77


Thus, we evaluate and it's 77.

Look the video up on gogle then I got the 4 of those points

Explanation:

1. A clean and neat professional appearance is an important step in making a good first impression. You want the interviewer to focus on you and your skills not your clothes. Dress as you want to be seen: professional, successful, and the kind of person the company wants to represent it.

2. Many people think that arriving early will take too much time out of their day. Yet, arriving early actually gives you time back in your day. You will more than recoup the ten minutes you arrive early in the productivity you gain by being able to catch up and prepare for the interview.

3. Bringing a hard copy does two things: it refreshes your memory, and it makes you look prepared for anything. You should always bring two to three copies of your resume so the person you're meeting can have it in front of them throughout the conversation. A well-written resume can help you secure an interview and get a job offer.

4. Note taking forces you to pay attention and helps you focus while the interviewer is talking. It has been shown that actively engaging with the topic by listening and then writing what you hear helps you understand and remember the information later.
