1 answer:
Setler79 [48]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

13,846\ cones

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of ice cream cones sold 5 years ago

Remember that

100\%+30\%=130\%=130/100=1.3

we know that

Sales 5 years ago, multiplied by the 30% increase should equal 18,000 ice cream cones.

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

1.30x=18,000

Solve for x

Divide by 1.3 both sides

x=13,846\ cones

Optimization problem: what are the dimensions of the lightest open-top right circularcylindrical can that will hold a volume of
vivado [14]
So Volume of cylinder is pi*r^2*h = 1,000 

Then lightest one means you have the smallest surface area. Which is one base and then the area of the surface. SA = pi*r^2 + 2pi*r*h 

So now you have 2 equations, so: 

h = 1,000/(pi*r^2) 
So then SA = pi*r^2 + 2pi*r*(1,000/(pi*r^2) = pi*r^2 + 2,000/r 

Derivative of SA is then 2pi*r -2,000/r^2. Set to 0 

2pi*r-2,000/r^2 =0 --> 2pi*r^3 = 2,000 --> r^3 = 1,000/pi --> r = 10/pi^(1/3) 

Now go back to the volume function: pi*r^2*h =1,000 --> 1,000/(pi*100/pi^(2/3)) = h 
<span>h = 10 / pi^(1/3)</span>

A circle has diameter 11cm
pogonyaev
In this case, to prove what is required, we must use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal of the square.
 If the diagonal of the square is smaller than the diameter of the circle, then the square will fit perfectly in the circle without touching it.
 Diagonal = Root ((7 ^ 2) + (7 ^ 2)) = 9.89 cm.
 we observed that
 9.89cm <11cm.
 Therefore we show that:
 the square will fit inside the circle without touching the edge of the circle
