Answer:

The 3 steps you can use are as highlighted below, and the value of x is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 3(x + 2) = 5(2x - 3)

Step 1: We expand first by opening the brackets

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

4x + 3x + 6 = 10x - 15

Step 2: we collect like terms on either side

4x +3x - 10x = -15 - 6

-3x = -21

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3

x = -21/-3

x = 7

The base diameter and the height of a cone are both<br> equal to x units.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

π x³ /12 is the volume of the cone if  A cone has a height of x and a diameter of x

Step-by-step explanation:

The base diameter and the height of a cone are both equal to x units

Diameter of cone = x  units

Radius = Diameter /2

=> Radius of cone = x/2 units

Height of cone =x units

Volume of cone = (1/3) π r²h

r = radius h = height

=> Volume of cone =  (1/3)π (x/2)² * x

= (1/3) π (x²/4) * x

= (1/12)  π x³

= π x³ /12 cubic units

During which time period does Landon's elevation change the fastest? Explain how you know?
bogdanovich [222]
<h3>1. How many inches per minute does London's elevation change between 4 minutes and 8 minutes. </h3>

The question actually asks for the slope of the line that stands for the points (4,3) \ and \ (8,6) why? because the questions tells us that London's elevation changes between 4 minutes and 8 minutes here. Hence, to find the slope of this line we have to use the following formula:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6)

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{6-3}{8-4}=0.75in/min

<em>So London's elevation changes 0.75 inches per minute</em>

<em></em>

<h3>2. During which time period does London's elevation change the fastest?</h3>

The greater the absolute value of the slope of the line the faster London's elevation changes. Since this is a Piecewise function, we must analyze each period.

  • FIRST:

→ Between 0 minutes and 4 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 10 minutes and 14 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 18 minutes and 22 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

So the solution is not in these parts of the function.

  • SECOND:

→ Between 4 minutes and 10 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

In the previous item we calculated the slope between 4 and 8 minutes that is the same slope between 4 and 8 minutes and equals 0.75.

→ Between 14 minutes and 18 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

Let's take two points here, say, (16,5) \ and \ (18,3)

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(16,5) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(18,3) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{3-5}{18-16}=-1 in/min

As you can see, the absolute value here is 1 that is greater than 0.75.

<em>In conclusion, London's elevation changes the fastest between 14 and 18 minutes</em>
