Diameter of the basketball rim = 18 inches

Circumference of the standard basketball = 30 inches

Area of circle = π r²  

Basketball rim = 3.14 * (18/2)² = 3.14 * 9² = 3.14 * 81 = 254.34 in²

Circumference of a circle = 2 π r

30 = 2 * 3.14 * r

r = 30 / (2*3.14) = 30 / 6.28 = 4.78 inches

Standard basketball = 3.14 * (4.78)² = 3.14 * 22.85 = 71.75 in²

254.34 - 71.75 = 182.59 in²

Answer:

4.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Basketball rim:

diameter = 18 inches

r = 18/2 = 9 inches

Ball:

Circumference of ball = 30 inches

2πr = 30 inches

2*3.14*r = 30\\\\r = \frac{30}{2*3.14}\\\\r = 4.8 inches

Distance between the ball and the rim in a shot when the ball goes exactly in the center of the rim = radius of the rim - radius of the ball

   = 9 - 4.8

   = 4.2 inches

Answer:

−π

----

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, archtan /

tan

−

1

(

x

)

is the inverse of tangent. Tan is

sin

cos

. Like the inverse of sin, the inverse of tan is also restricted to quadrants 1 and 4.

Knowing this we are solving for the inverse of tan -1. We are basically being asked the question what angle/radian does tan(-1) equal. Using the unit circle we can see that tan(1)= pi/4.

Since the "Odds and Evens Identity" states that tan(-x) = -tan(x). Tan(-1)= -pi/4.

Knowing that tan is negative in quadrants 2 and 4. the answer is in either of those two quadrants. BUT!!! since inverse of tan is restricted to quadrants 1 and 4 we are left with the only answer -pi/4.

Which shows one way to determine the factors of x^3-12x^2-2x+24
SashulF [63]
Hello,
x^3-12x²-2x+24=x²(x-12)-2(x-12)=(x-12)(x²-2)
=(x-12)(x-√2)(x+√2)
