First, notice that, by the Pythagorean Theorem,

x^2+y^2=3^2

meaning that:

x^2=9-y^2

Also, since the volume of a cone with radius r and height h is \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h we know that the volume of the cone is:

\frac{1}{3} \pi x^2 (3+y) =  \frac{1}{3} \pi  (9-y^2)(3+y) =  \frac{1}{3} \pi [27+9y-3y^2-y^3]

Therefore, we want to maximize the function V(y) =  \frac{1}{3} \pi  [27+9y-3y^2-y^3] subject to the constraint 0 \leq y \leq 3.

To find the critical points, we differentiate:

V'(y)= \frac{1}{3} \pi [9-6y-3y^2] =  \pi [3-2y-y^2] =  \pi (3+y)(1-y).

Therefore, V'(y) = 0 when

                                                    \pi (3+y)(1-y)=0

meaning that y = -3 or y=1. Only y=1 is in the interval [0,3] so that’s the only critical point we need to concern ourselves with.

Now we evaluate V at the critical point and the endpoints:

V(0) =  \frac{1}{3} \pi  [27+9(0) - 3(0)^2] = 9 \pi

V(1) =  \frac{1}{3} \pi  [27+9(1)-3(1)^2-1^3] =    \frac{32 \pi }{3}

V(3) = \frac{1}{3} \pi [27+9(3) - 3(3)^2-3^2] = 0

Therefore, the volume of the largest cone that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius 3 is \frac{32 \pi }{3}

The sum of a number in 6 ?? algebraic expression
Leokris [45]
I'm guessing you meant the sum of a number AND 6? If so:
x+6=y or just x+6

x is a variable for "a number" and you add 6 to it. The y on the other side of the equals sign is because the sum (number you get when adding) is unknown due to the value of the x variable being unknown.

The cost to ride a ferris wheel is $2.00 per person. The ferris wheel has a capacity of 64 people. The amount of money collected
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The ferris wheel has a maximum capacity of 64, the domain is [0,64]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

the maximum number of people that can seat on the ferris wheel = 64

the minimum number of people that can seat on the ferris wheel = 0

Function to calculate the amount of money

M(p)=2p

Value of p can be any integer from zero to 64 so the domain of this function is

0 ≤ x ≤ 64

X would equal 1/2 the measure of the intercepted arc, or 45/2

Y = 1/2 the difference of the intercepted arcs, so (105-45)/2
