Hunter spent 2/3 of his money on a video game. If Hunter spent $65 on a video game, how much total money did Hunter have?

1 answer:

8 0

If Hunter spent $65 on the game, then he had $x in total.
$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{65}{x}$
Cross multiplication;
$2x = 65 \times 3$

2x = 195
x = 195/2
x = 97.5

>>Hunter had $97.50

A cone with a height of 4 in, and a diameter of 6 in. Find the surface area and Volume

Vitek1552 [10]

if its diameter is 6, then its radius is half that or 3.

$\textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h }{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=3\\ h=4 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi (3)^2(4)}{3}\implies V=12\pi \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{surface area of a cone}\\\\ SA=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\pi r^2\qquad \implies \qquad SA=\pi (3)\sqrt{3^2+4^2}+\pi (3)^2 \\\\\\ 3\pi \sqrt{25}+9\pi \implies 3\pi (5)+9\pi \implies 15\pi +9\pi \implies 24\pi$

Find the eqation of the line perpendicular to y=3x-6 that runs through the point (-1, -3)

alexgriva [62]

The coefficient of x in the equation of the given line, 3, is its slope. The slope of the perpendicular line is the negatve reciprocal of that, -1/3. You now have the slope and a point on the perpendicular line, so you can write its equation using the point-slope form:
y = m(x -x₁) +y₁
where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point.

An equation for your perpendicular line is
y = (-1/3)(x -(-1)) -3
y = (-1/3)x -10/3

The slope-intercept form of the equation of the perpendicular line is ...
y = (-1/3)x -10/3
