What is the approximate volume of a basketball with the circumference of 42ft ?

1 answer:

4 0

We know that

[volume of a sphere]=(4/3)*pi*r³

length of a circumference=42 ft
[length of a circumference]=2*pi*r-------> r=[length of a circumference]/(2*pi)
r=[42]/(2*pi)---------> r=6.6845 ft

[volume of a sphere]=(4/3)*pi*6.6845³-----------> 1251.11 ft³

the answer is 1251.11 ft³

The solutions of the quadratic equation x² - 5x - 36 = 0 are -4 and 9.

The graph is attached below.

We are given a quadratic function.
A polynomial equation of degree two in one variable is a quadratic equation.
The function given to us is :
y = x² - 5x - 36
We need to find the solution of the quadratic function.
To find the roots, let y = 0.
x² - 5x - 36 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a formula that gives the solution(s) to a quadratic equation.
x = [-b±√b²-4ac]/2a
x = [-(-5) ± √25 - 4(1)(-36)]/2(1)
x = (5 ± √25 + 144)/2
x = (5 ± √169)/2
x = (5 ± 13)/2
x = 9 or x = -4
