The formula of a volume of a cone:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2H$

r - radius

H - height

We have a diameter d = 3in (d = 2r → r = d:2 → r = 3in : 2 = 1.5in)

and the volume 12in³.

Substitute:

$\dfrac{1}{3}\pi(1.5)^2H=12\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\2.25\pi H=36\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2.25}\pi\\\\H=\dfrac{36}{2.25\pi}\\\\H=\dfrac{16}{\pi}\ in\\\\H=\dfrac{16}{3.14}\to H\approx5\ in.$

<h3>Answer: The height is 5 in.</h3>

What is the lowest common multiple of 3 and 4

Rufina [12.5K]

So an example

least common multipule is like what is the smallest number both will fit into

example, 6 and 10, least common multilule is 30 because 6*5=30 and 3*10=30

so 3 and 4

factor each

3=3

4=2*2

so we have to have 2*2*3 which is 12

12 is least common multiplule

For what values of x is f(x) = |x + 1| differentiable? I'm struggling my butt off for this course

pav-90 [236]

By definition of absolute value, you have

$f(x) = |x+1| = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x+1\ge0 \\ -(x+1)&\text{if }x+1$

or more simply,

$f(x) = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x\ge-1\\-x-1&\text{if }x$

On their own, each piece is differentiable over their respective domains, except at the point where they split off.

For x > -1, we have

(x + 1)' = 1

while for x < -1,

(-x - 1)' = -1

More concisely,

$f'(x) = \begin{cases}1&\text{if }x>-1\\-1&\text{if }x$

Note the strict inequalities in the definition of f '(x).

In order for f(x) to be differentiable at x = -1, the derivative f '(x) must be continuous at x = -1. But this is not the case, because the limits from either side of x = -1 for the derivative do not match:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^-}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}(-1) = -1$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^+}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}1 = 1$

All this to say that f(x) is differentiable everywhere on its domain, except at the point x = -1.
