Answer:
D. She used the beach's ball's diameter when she should have used the radius
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of the beach ball, using the volume of a sphere is the right formula to use, which is ⁴/3πr³.
The formula she used is correct.
Since the diameter of the ball is assumed to be 12 inches, what is needed to find the volume is the radius.
Radius (r) = ½(diameter) = ½(12) = 6 in.
This is where Emily made a mistake.
She used the diameter of the beach ball instead of its radius (r) which is needed in the equation.
She should have gotten,
V = ⁴/3(3.14)(6)² = 904.32 cubic inches
Answer:
6 gallons of gas
Step-by-step explanation:
20.00 - 2.12 = 17.88
17.88 divided by 2.98 equals 6
To get rid of

, you have to take the third root of both sides:
![\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E%7B3%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B1%7D%20)
But that won't help you with understanding the problem. It is better to write

as a product of 2 polynomials:

From this we know, that

is the solution. Another solutions (complex roots) are the roots of quadratic equation.
