Answer:

<u>The radius of the base circle has to be 1.51 inches</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Height of the ice cream package = 4 inches

Volume of the ice cream package = 1 pint = 16 fluid ounces

2. What does the radius of the base circle have to be?

Let's calculate the volume of the ice cream package, as follows:

16 fluid ounces = 16 * 1.8 inches³

Volume = 28.8 inches³

Let's recall the formula of the volume of a cylinder:

Volume = π * r² * h

Replacing with the values we have:

28.8 = 3.1416 * r² * 4

28.8 = 12.57 r²

r² = 28.8/12.57

r² = 2.29

√ r² = √2.29

<u>r = 1.51 inches</u>

Solve the system by graphing. Write the solution as an ordered pair. y = 1/3x + 2 y = –x – 2

Dima020 [189]

ANSWER

The solution is where the two graphs intersect, which is
$(-3,1).$

EXPLANATION

The given system of equations are
$y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2$
and

$y = - x - 2$

We need to graph the two equations.

Let us graph

$y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2$
first.

We need at least two points.

You can choose any appropriate value for x and solve for y. Choosing zero makes our working easier. So let us plot the intercepts.

When
$x = 0$

$\Rightarrow \: y = \frac{1}{3} (0) + 2$

$\Rightarrow y = 0 + 2$

$\Rightarrow y = 2$

So this gives us the ordered pair,

$(0,2)$

When
$y = 0$
we get,

$0= \frac{1}{3} x + 2$

$\Rightarrow \: - 2 = \frac{1}{3} x$

$\Rightarrow \: - 2 \times 3= x$

$\Rightarrow \: -6= x$
This also gives the ordered pair

$(-6,0).$

We plot these two points and draw a straight line through them to obtain the blue graph in the attachment.

For the second line

$y = - x - 2$

We again find the intercepts and plot them.

When
$x = 0$

$y = - 0 - 2$

$\Rightarrow \: y = - 2$

This gives the ordered pair

$(0,-2)$

Also, when
$y = 0$

then we have,

$0 = - x - 2$

$2 = - x$

$x = - 2$

Then we again have the ordered pair,

$(-2,0)$

We plot these two points on the same graph sheet to obtain the red graph above.

The intersection of the two lines is
$(-3,1)$

You will get good grades so don't worry much.

What is the distance between the points (5, 1) and (-3,-5)?

Reil [10]

Answer: THIRD OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to use the formula for calculate the distance between two points. This is:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Given the following points:

$(5, 1)$ and $(-3,-5)$

You can identify that:

$x_2=-3\\x_1=5\\\\y_2=-5\\y_1=1$

Knowing these values, the next step is to substitute them into the equation for calculate the distance between two points and then evaluate.

Therefore, the distance between $(5, 1)$ and $(-3,-5)$ is:

$d=\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(-5-1)^2}\\\\d=10$
