Rearranging literal equations ASAP NEED HELP

When we look at this thing for the first time, it looks like it's going to be a dog of a bear to solve, because 'q' is buried inside a squared term and a cubed term.

But this is why it's so important to learn that in math, you DON't immediately ignite your hair and go running around in circles as soon as you see the problem.  The first thing you have to do <u>every</u> time is sit still, look at the problem, breathe air, and switch your brain into the 'ON' position.

Look at that big ugly fraction in the equation.  Can it be simplified ? You betcha it can ! The quantity (q+r) is a factor of the numerator and denominator, so we can do some canceling.

Divide the top and the bottom of the fraction by (q+r)², and then the problem says . . .

<em>p = (q+r)/12  + 4r</em>

which is MUCH easier to unravel and solve for 'q' .  Let's do this !

p = (q+r)/12  + 4r

Subtract  (q+r)/12  from each side . . . p - (q+r)/12 = 4r

Subtract 'p' from each side . . . -(q+r)/12 = 4r - p

Multiply each side by -1 . . . (q+r)/12 = p - 4r

Multiply each side by 12 . . . (q+r) = 12p - 48r

Subtract 'r' from each side . . . <em>q = 12p - 49r</em>

a cone with a radius 3 units is shown below. it’s volume is 57 cubic units. find the height of the cone
ipn [44]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the radius of the cone is 3 units.

The volume of the cone is 57 cubic units.

We need to determine the height of the cone.

<u>Height of the cone:</u>

The height of the cone can be determined using the formula,

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

Substituting the values, r = 3 and V = 57, we get;

57=\frac{1}{3} (3.14) (3)^2 h

Simplifying the terms, we get;

57=\frac{1}{3} (3.14) (9) h

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, we get;

171= (3.14) (9) h

171=28.26 h

Dividing both sides of the equation by 28.26, we get;

6.05=h

Thus, the height of the cone is 6.05 units.

Find The Surface Area
omeli [17]

A = (12 x 8 x 3) + (1/2 x 8 x 6.9) + (1/2 x 8 x 7 x 3)

A = 288 + 27.6 + 84

A = 399.6 m²

Which sequence begins with 1 and follows this rule? multiply by 2 and add 1.
Olin [163]
Change the information into an equation and do sequence. pull out any necessary information.
y = 2x + 1
starts at 1... so your first sequence is 1.
plug in x=1 then it becomes 3. then the next sequence you plug in 3 (, the answer to your previous solve) you get 7. continue to do this. next sequence you plug in x=7 into the equation y = 2x + 1.
thus, y = 2(7) + 1 =15... so forth...
therefore the answer is B.

Hope this helps :)
