SA=4pir^2
d/2=r
9.4/2=r=4.7

SA=4*3.141592*4.7^2
SA=227.591

answer is D

Given,

Diameter of the basketball = 9.4 inches
∴ Radius of the basketball = diameter ÷ 2 = 9.4 ÷ 2 = 4.7 inches
π = 3.14159

Surface area of the basketball is the surface area of the sphere = 4 π r² = 4 × 3.141 x 4.7² = 277.59 = 277.6 inches²

Blizzard [7]

Let p = the normal price.
Then 7(p - .75)= 2.80
Divide by 7: p - .75 = .40 and p = 1.15

Find lim ?x approaches 0 f(x+?x)-f(x)/?x where f(x) = 4x-3

Whitepunk [10]

If $f(x)=4x-3$ :

$\displaystyle\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{(4(x+\Delta x)-3)-(4x-3)}{\Delta x}=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{4\Delta x}{\Delta x}=4$

If $f(x)=4x^{-3}$ :

$\displaystyle\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{\frac4{(x+\Delta x)^3}-\frac4{x^3}}{\Delta x}=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{\frac{4x^3-4(x+\Delta x)^3}{x^3(x+\Delta x)^3}}{\Delta x}$
