If two similar cones have volumes of 320cm^3 and 1,080cm^3, find the scale factor.

1 answer:

3 0

The ratio of the volumes is equal to the scale factor cubed.

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=k^3 \\ \\
\frac{320 \ cm^3}{1080 \ cm^3}=k^3 \\
\frac{8}{27}=k^3 \\
k=\sqrt[3]{\frac{8}{27}} \\
\boxed{k=\frac{2}{3}} \Leftarrow \hbox{answer B}$

How do you correctly graph a system of inequalities

Olin [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right.

Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>)

Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥) or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤).

Use the quadratic formula to solve x^2-2x+2=0

Helen [10]

The quadratic formula is...
$\frac{-b (+/-)\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
your a will be in front of your x^2, b in front of your x, and c will be the number without an x. Plug those into the equation and you'll get two answers. That will be it

Find the first three terms of the sequence with nth term 3n-2

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

To find out the first three terms of 3n - 2 substitute 1 ,2 and 3 into the equation.

so the three terms a

3(1)-2=1

3(2)-2=6-2=4

3(3)-2=9-2=7

As you can see the sequence goes up in 1,4 and 7.To find out the 10th term you also substitute 10 into the equation so 3(9)-2=18-2=16

so 16 is the tenth term

Hope this helped!
