Answer:

  the balls are larger, or don't pack as tightly

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume by either measure will depend on a couple of factors:

  • the volume of the unit used (ball or cube)
  • the way the units can be packed

In a rectangular space, such as a box, it may be easier to pack cubes than balls. So, more cubes of the same volume would fit simply because they can be packed closer together.

We aren't told the volume of either the cube or the ball, and we're not told the extent to which the packing is optimized.

Fewer balls may fit because their packing is not as well optimized as that of the cubes, or because each has a larger volume than the cube being used.

Most of the numbers we know, and work with, are Real Numbers. The Real Number System includes counting numbers, fractions, terminating decimals, positive numbers, negative numbers, zero, repeating decimals, never ending and non-repeating decimals, numbers that are expressed as radicals, and even pi (π).

The natural numbers are the set of counting numbers

• There are infinitely many numbers in a set of numbers.

• The natural numbers are "closed" under addition and multiplication.

The addition of two natural numbers creates another natural number.

The multiplication of two natural numbers creates another natural number.

closed under addition and multiplication.

BUT ...

The subtraction of two natural numbers does NOT necessarily create another natural number

The division of two natural numbers does NOT necessarily create another natural number  

The whole numbers are the set of counting numbers (natural numbers) along with zero

   

• There are infinitely many numbers in this set of numbers.

• The set of whole numbers is "closed" under addition and multiplication.

Integers:

• The integers are the set of all of the natural numbers,

    plus their additive inverses and zero

• The integers are "closed" under addition, multiplication and subtraction,

    but NOT under division

Rational Numbers:

• The rational numbers are the set of numbers which can be expressed as a ratio

    (a fraction) between two integers.

• Integers are rational numbers since 5 can be written as the fraction 5/1.

• Decimals which terminate are rational numbers.

• Decimals which have a repeating pattern are rational numbers. 1/3 = 0.3333333...

• The rational numbers are "closed" under addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Under division, we run into the problem of division by 0, which makes the statement that "the rationals are closed under division" false. Some texts state that "the rationals are closed under division as long as the division is not by zero" which is a true statement.

Irrational Numbers:

The irrational numbers are the set of number which can NOT be written as a ratio (fraction).

• Decimals which never end nor repeat are irrational numbers.

• Irrational numbers are "not closed" under addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

• Examples of irrational numbers: rad2, π

(3x+2)∧2=9 how do i solve this in the square root property
Irina18 [472]
(3x+2)^2=9 \\\\9x^2+12x+4-9=0\\\\9x^2+12x-5=0\\\\a=9,\ \ b=12, \ \ c=-5

x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12-\sqrt{12^2-4 \cdot9 \cdot (-5)}}{2 \cdot 9}=\frac{-12-\sqrt{144+180}}{18}=\\\\=\frac{-12-\sqrt{324}}{18}=\frac{-12-18}{18}=\frac{-30}{18}=-\frac{5}{3}\\\\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12+\sqrt{12^2-4 \cdot9 \cdot (-5)}}{2 \cdot 9}=\frac{-12+18}{18}=\frac{6}{18}=\frac{1}{3} \\\\Answer: \ x=-\frac{5}{3}\ \ and \ \ x=\frac{1}{3}

Y=-6x+2<br><br> Rewrite in standard form
Korolek [52]

Answer:

0.000002

Step-by-step explanation:

since its -6+2 you need to move the decimal place in 2, 6 places foward. So the number would go from 2 to 0.000002.
