Answer: The volume of the basketball is 449.09 in³.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the diameter of a basketball is 9.50 inches.

We are to find the volume of the basketball.

A basketball is of the shape of a sphere. And the volume of a SPHERE with radius 'r' units is given by

$V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3.$

Here, the diameter of the basketball is 9.50 inches, so the radius of the ball is

$r=\dfrac{9.50}{2}=4.75~\textup{inches}.$

Therefore, the volume of the basketball will be

$V\\\\\\=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\\\=\dfrac{4}{3}\times\dfrac{22}{7}\times (4.75)^3\\\\\\=\dfrac{88}{21}\times 107.17\\\\\\=\dfrac{9430.96}{21}\\\\=449.09~\textup{in}^3.$

Thus, the volume of the basketball is 449.09 in³.

The first step in determining the solution to the system of equations, y = -x2 - 4x - 3 and y = 2x + 5, algebraically is to set

Answer:

Combine like terms onto one side of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

You have

-x^2 -4x - 3 = 2x + 5

It seems that we should combine like terms to make this equations smaller.

-x^2 - 4x - 3 - 2x - 5 = 0

-x^2 -6x - 8 = 0

- (x + 2)(x + 4) = 0

x = -2 or x = -4

How do you prove if quantities vary directly?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If quantities vary directly, then one is simply the other multiplied by a fixed number. All sets of two numbers in a direct variation are one number multiplied by a fixed number to get the second number.

Example:

1 gallon of gasoline costs $3.50

2 gallons of gasoline cost $7.00

3 gallons of gasoline cost $10.50

Is the price of gasoline a direct variation based on the number of gallons?

3.5/1 = 3.5

7/2 = 3.5

10.5/3 = 3.5

When you multiply 1 gal, 2 gal, and 3 gal by the constant number 3.5 $/gal, you get the price. Since the multiplication is always by the same number, it is a direct variation.
