Answer:

The volume of the Earth is 49 times as large as that of the moon

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we consider that both entities are spherical in shape.

Mathematically, the volume of a sphere = 4/3 * pi * r^3

The volume of the moon with radius 1736 kilometers will be ;

4/3 * pi * 1736^3 = (20,927,105,024 π)/3 km^3

The volume of the earth with radius 6371 kilometers will be;

4/3 * pi * 6371^3 =( 1,034,386,411,244 π)/3 km^3

Now to get the number of times the earth is as big as the moon, we simply divide the volume of the earth by that of the moon.

= ( 1,034,386,411,244 π)/3 divided by (20,927,105,024 π)/3

= 1,034,386,411,244/20,927,105,024 = 49.43 which is approximately 49 times

Evaluate the integral of the quantity x divided by the quantity x to the fourth plus sixteen, dx . (2 points) one eighth times t

Anika [276]

Answer:

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \frac{1}{8}*arctan(\frac{x^2}{4}) + c$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx$

Required

Solve

Let

$u = \frac{x^2}{4}$

Differentiate

$du = 2 * \frac{x^{2-1}}{4}\ dx$

$du = 2 * \frac{x}{4}\ dx$

$du = \frac{x}{2}\ dx$

Make dx the subject

$dx = \frac{2}{x}\ du$

The given integral becomes:

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, * \frac{2}{x}\ du$

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{1}{x^4 + 16}} \, * \frac{2}{1}\ du$

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{2}{x^4 + 16}} \,\ du$

Recall that: $u = \frac{x^2}{4}$

Make $x^2$ the subject

$x^2= 4u$

Square both sides

$x^4= (4u)^2$

$x^4= 16u^2$

Substitute $16u^2$ for $x^4$ in $\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{2}{x^4 + 16}} \,\ du$

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{2}{16u^2 + 16}} \,\ du$

Simplify

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{2}{16}* \frac{1}{8u^2 + 8}} \,\ du$

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \frac{2}{16}\int\limits {\frac{1}{u^2 + 1}} \,\ du$

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \frac{1}{8}\int\limits {\frac{1}{u^2 + 1}} \,\ du$

In standard integration

$\int\limits {\frac{1}{u^2 + 1}} \,\ du = arctan(u)$

So, the expression becomes:

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \frac{1}{8}\int\limits {\frac{1}{u^2 + 1}} \,\ du$

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \frac{1}{8}*arctan(u)$

Recall that: $u = \frac{x^2}{4}$

$\int\limits {\frac{x}{x^4 + 16}} \, dx = \frac{1}{8}*arctan(\frac{x^2}{4}) + c$

A box contains 5 purple marbles, 3 green marbles and 2 orange marbles. You draw the first marble, return it to the box and draw

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5+3+2 all of the marbles

2/10 odds of drawing an orange marble(bc 2 orange marble)

3/9 because to get 3 green and 1 marble is removed and 9 is total marbles left

2/10*3/9=1/15 muliply odds because 2 draws of marbles

A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for every 3 cups of flour.How many flour should be used for every 1 cup of sugar ?

vivado [14]

You need 1/4 of sugar per cup of flour. So you need 4 cups of flour for every one cup of sugar

Round 877.71 to the nearest tenth

Rainbow [258]

The 7 after the decimal is in the tenths place, so look at the one in the hundredths place. It is less than 5, so the 7 is not rounded up and stays 7. 877.7 is 877.71 rounded to the nearest tenth.
