Since there are no figures given, I will give an example.
You are given a silo that is shaped as
a closed cylinder with a conical end. The diameter of the silo is 4 ft, the
length of the cylindrical part is 6 ft, and the entire length of the silo is
10.5 ft. Suppose that you are asked to find the total volume of
grains that can be stored in the silo.
Given:
Cylinder part
D = 4 ft
H = 6 ft
Cone part
H = 10.5 – 6 = 4.5ft
D = 4ft
Required:
Volume of silo
Solution:
V of cylinder = πr²H
V of cylinder = π(4/2)²(6)
V of cylinder = 75.4 ft³
V of cone = πr²H/3
V of cone = π(4/2)²(4.5/3)
V of cone = 18.85 ft³
Total volume = 94.25 ft³
Answer:
The fraction -31/8 cannot be simplified.
Be sure to include the "=" sign: <span>f(x) = 2^x -7
To find the x-intercepts, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x: 2^x - 7 = 0,
or
2^x = 7
Take the common log of both sides: x log 2 = log 7
log 7
Solve for x: x = --------- = 2.81 (approx)
log 2
