The volume of a sphere is (4/3) (pi) (radius cubed).

The volume of one sphere divided by the volume of another one is

 (4/3) (pi) (radius-A)³ / (4/3) (pi) (radius-B)³

Divide top and bottom by (4/3) (pi) and you have     (radius-A)³ / (radius-B)³
and that's exactly the same as
                                                         ( radius-A / radius-B )  cubed.

I went through all of that to show you that the ratio of the volumes of two spheres
is the cube of the ratio of their radii.

Earth radius = 6,371 km
Pluto radius = 1,161 km

Ratio of their radii = (6,371 km) / (1,161 km)

Ratio of their volumes =  ( 6,371 / 1,161 ) cubed = about <u>165.2</u>

Note: 
I don't like the language of the question where it asks "How many spheres...".
This seems to be asking how many solid cue balls the size of Pluto could be
packed into a shell the size of the Earth, and that's not a simple solution.
The solution I have here is simply the ratio of volumes ... how many Plutos
can fit into a hollow Earth if the Plutos are melted and poured into the shell.
That's a different question, and a lot easier than dealing with solid cue balls.

Answer:

-4     4     4.5     8     20.5     32

Step-by-step explanation:

f$ \circ  $ g(x) = f(g(x))

Given,   f(x) = 2x²

and       g(x) = x - 2

Now f(g(x)) = f(x - 2) = 2(x - 2)²

We know that (a - b)² = a² - b² + 2ab

Using this we expand f(g(x)). We get:

                        f(g(x)) = 2{x² - 4x + 4}

Similarly,        g(f(x)) = g(2x²) = 2x² - 2

Now, f(g(-2))    = 2[(-2)² - 4(-2) + 4]     = 2(16)                           = 32.

Also, g(f(-2))   = 2[(-2)² - 2]                = 2(2)                             = 4.

f(g(3.5))  = 2{(3.5)² -4(3.5) + 4} = 2[12.25 - 14 + 4] = 2(2.25)    = 4.5.

g(f(3.5))  = 2{(3.5)² -2} = 2{12.25 - 2}                     = 2(10.25)   = 20.5.

f(g(0))     = 2{0 - 4(0) + 4}  = 2(4)                                               =  8.

g(f(0))     = 2{0 - 2}                         = 2(-2)                                 = -4.

Arranging them in ascending order, we get:

-4     4     4.5     8     20.5     32 would be the sequence.

Solve:7 +42-32-32 = 14.3-2a +7<br> A = -3<br> A= 0<br> A= 3<br> no solution
madreJ [45]

Answer:

a = 18.15

Step-by-step explanation:

7+42-32-32=14.3-2a+7

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation first. Add 7 and 42, then subtract 32 from the answer you get, then subtract 32 from that answer. This is going by order of PEMDAS.

Remember PEMDAS: (numbers 3 & 4 and numbers 5 & 6 are solved from left to right)

  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Multiplication
  4. Division
  5. Addition
  6. Subtraction

-15=14.3-2a+7

After combining like terms on the left side, you get -15. Now combine like terms on the right side of the equation by adding 14.3 and 7.

-15=21.3-2a

Get -2a alone by subtracting 21.3 from both sides.

-36.3=-2a

Divide both sides by -2.

a=18.15

In this equation, a should equal \boxed{18.15}.
