Translate every statement into algebraic language.

1) <span>hardcover books for $8 each

- name h the number of hardcover books
- amount of sale from hardcover books = 8h

2) paperbacks for $4 each

- namel p the number from paperback books
- amount of sale of paperbacks = 4p

3) the number of hardcover books, h, sold one day was 2 more than four times the number of paperback books, p, sold that same day.

-  h = 2 + 4p

4) the total amount of sales for that day was $160.

- 8h + 4p = 160

6) system of equations

h = 2 + 4p
8h + 4p = 160

5) Jean-Paul wrote the following system of linear equations to find the number of each type of book sold, </span><span>

8H+4P=160
P=4H+2 <---------- here is the error. This means that number of paperback books sold was 2 more than four times the number of hardcover books sold, when the right statement is that </span><span><span>the number of hardcover book sold was 2 more than four times the number of paperback books, p, sold.</span></span>

The volume of this CONE is 175π cubic units.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

1649.33 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height and the radius be known as "h" and "r" respectively.

<u>Formulae(s):</u>

  • Volume of cylinder: πr²h
  • Volume of cone: πr²h/3

Clearly, we can see that the volume of the cylinder is three times greater than the volume of the cone as,

  • ⇒ πr²h = 3(πr²h/3)
  • ⇒ πr²h = πr²h (True)

<u>Determining the volume of the cylinder;</u>

  • ⇒ Volume of cylinder = Volume of cone × 3
  • ⇒ Volume of cylinder = 175π × 3
  • ⇒ Volume of cylinder = 525π
  • ⇒ Volume of cylinder = 1649.33 units³   (2 d.p)

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 1649.33 units³.

(-1 2/3) to the third power
Drupady [299]

Answer:

-4\dfrac{17}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to calculate the value of -1\dfrac{2}{3} to the third power.

Now, (-1\dfrac{2}{3})^{3}  

= (-\dfrac{5}{3} )^{3}

= (-\dfrac{5}{3} ) \times (-\dfrac{5}{3} )\times (-\dfrac{5}{3} ) { Since we know, a³ = a × a × a }

= -\dfrac{5^{3} }{3^{3} } { Since the product of three negative numbers is also negative }

= -\frac{125}{27}

= -4\dfrac{17}{27} ( Answer )
