a spherical container with a radius of 4 ft is filled with gas that costs$12 per cubic foot what is the total value of the gas i
1 answer:
The spherical container has a radius of 4ft (where ft represents feet)
Its filled with gas that costs $12 per ft³
The value of gas in the container = ?
The volume of a sphere = 4/3r³
The volume of the container = 4/3 × × 4³ ft³
One cubic foot = $12
4/3 × × 64 = How much?
Cross multiplying gives:
4/3 × ×64 × $12 = $3216.99 (Rounded up to nearest one cent)

Let's rewrite the expression as
So, if , you may divide both sides by
, the equation becomes
, and the only solution is
, which means that this is not an identity (an indentity is tautologically true, no matter the value of x).
If instead , you are multiplying both sides by zero, so the equation becomes
So, it doesn't matter which value for x you choose, because you will always end up with , which is obviously always true.
