So.. 2.86 - 2.79 is the amount in decrease or 0.07

so.. if we take 2.86 as the 100%, how much is 0.07 of that in percentage?

well \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
2.86&100\\
0.07&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.86}{0.07}=\cfrac{100}{x}

solve for "x"

Make a equation for the scatter plot line
aalyn [17]

Answer:

y = -7.2x + 540

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope I used the x-and-y intercepts: (0, 540) and (75, 0)

slope = 540/-75 or -7.2

Find the product of (x + 5)(x − 5).
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

x² - 30 + 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 5)(x − 5)

=x(x − 5)+5(x − 5)

=x² - 5 + 5x - 25

=x² - 30 + 5x

An icicle with a diameter of 15.5 centimeters at the top, tapers down in the shape of a cone with a length of
Helga [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: I will leave the answers as fraction and in terms of pi unless the question states rounding conditions to ensure maximum precision.

From the question, we can tell it is a inversed-cone (upside down)

Volume of Cone = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}

a) Given Diameter , d = 15.5cm and Length , h = 350cm,

we first find the radius.

r = \frac{d}{2} \\=\frac{15.5}{2} \\=7.75cm

We will now find the volume of the cone.

Volume of cone  \pi (7.75)^{2} \frac{350}{3} \\= \frac{168175\pi }{24}

We know the density of ice is 0.93 grams per 1cm^{3}

1cm^{3} =0.93g\\\frac{168175\pi }{24}  cm^{3} =0.93(\frac{168175\pi }{24} )\\= 20473 g(Nearest Gram)

b) After 1 hour, we know that the new radius = 7.75cm - 0.35cm = 7.4cm

and the new length, h = 350cm - 15cm = 335cm

Now we will find the volume of this newly-shaped cone.

Volume of cone = \pi (7.4)^{2} \frac{335}{3} \\= \frac{91723\pi }{15} cm^{3}

Volume of cone being melted = New Volume - Original volume

= \frac{168175\pi }{24} -\frac{91723\pi }{15} \\= \frac{35697\pi }{40} cm^{3}

c) Lets take the bucket as a round cylinder.

Given radius of bucket, r = 12.5cm (Half of Diameter) and h , height = 30cm.

Volume of cylinder = \pi r^{2} h\\=\pi (12.5)^{2} (30)\\=\frac{9375\pi }{2} cm^{3}

To overflow the bucket, the volume of ice melted must be more than the bucket volume.

Volume of ice melted after 5 hours = 5(\frac{35697\pi }{40} )\\=\frac{35697\pi }{8} cm^{3}

See, from here of course you are unable to tell whether the bucket will overflow as all are in fractions, but fret not, we can just find the difference.

Volume of bucket - Volume of ice melted after 5 hours

= \frac{9375\pi }{2} -\frac{35697\pi }{8 } \\=\frac{1803\pi }{8}cm^{3}

from we can see the bucket can still hold more melted ice even after 5 hours therefore it will not overflow.

A) 2x +3

Plug in the x

2(4.1) + 3

8.2+ 3= 11.2

A is 11.2


B) 16-5y

Plug in the y

16 - 5(2.3)

16- 11.5= 4.5

B is 4.5


C) x+y

Plug in x and y

4.1 + 2.3= 6.4

C is 6.4
