The volume of a sphere is (4/3) (pi) (radius cubed).
The volume of one sphere divided by the volume of another one is
(4/3) (pi) (radius-A)³ / (4/3) (pi) (radius-B)³
Divide top and bottom by (4/3) (pi) and you have (radius-A)³ / (radius-B)³
and that's exactly the same as
( radius-A / radius-B ) cubed.
I went through all of that to show you that the ratio of the volumes of two spheres
is the cube of the ratio of their radii.
Earth radius = 6,371 km
Pluto radius = 1,161 km
Ratio of their radii = (6,371 km) / (1,161 km)
Ratio of their volumes = ( 6,371 / 1,161 ) cubed = about <u>165.2</u>
Note:
I don't like the language of the question where it asks "How many spheres...".
This seems to be asking how many solid cue balls the size of Pluto could be
packed into a shell the size of the Earth, and that's not a simple solution.
The solution I have here is simply the ratio of volumes ... how many Plutos
can fit into a hollow Earth if the Plutos are melted and poured into the shell.
That's a different question, and a lot easier than dealing with solid cue balls.
the point that the function intercepts the x axis are the zeros of the function, where the products set equal to zero give you the x coordinate in which it intercepts.
x=-15 and x=9
set both equal to 0
x+15 and x-9
These are your two products
(x+15)(x-9)
or
x^2+6x-135
Answer:
A. y-axis only
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the graph of as given below.
It can be seen that passes through the points (0,0), (4,0) and (6,0).
Also, the graph is plotted in the 1st and 2nd quadrant symmetrically along the y-axis.
Hence, the axis of symmetry of is the y-axis only.
Answer:
(3, 0) and (5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
we know that
The x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of y is equal to zero
so
For y=0
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to
in this problem we have
so
substitute in the formula
so
x=3, x=5
therefore
The x-intercepts are (3,0) and (5,0)
