Answer:

Answer: 5/12 or approx. 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball will displace as much water as its volume.

Meaning, the volume of the ball and the volume of the increase in water in the barrel will be equal.

Volume of a sphere:

V_s=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

The radius is half the diameter. The diameter of the sphere is 10, thus:

r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5

5^3 = 5*5*5 = 25*5 = 125

V_s=\frac{4}{3} \pi * 5^3=\frac{4}{3} \pi * 125

The volume of a cylinder, which will be the shape of the increase in water, is the following:

V_c=\pi r^2 h

We know the radius r, as we know the diameter.

r=d/2=40/2=20

V_c=\pi r^2 h=\pi h * 20^2 = \pi h * 400

We are looking for the height of the cylinder, h, as that will be the height of the water rise.

Since we know these 2 volumes are the same, we'll set them equal to each other and solve the equation:

V_s = V_c

\frac{4}{3} * 125 * \pi = 400 * h * \pi

We can get rid of pi by dividing both sides by pi:

\frac{4}{3} * 125 = 400 * h

And now divide both sides by 400:

\frac{4}{3} * \frac{125}{400}= h

Just reversing it and putting h to the left:

h = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{125}{400} = \frac{4 * 125}{3 * 400}

I see that I can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4:

h =\frac{125}{3 * 100}= \frac{125}{300}

I'll now divide both the numerator and the denominator by 25 to simplify the expression:

h=\frac{125}{300} =\frac{125 / 25}{300 / 25} = \frac{5}{12}

Answer: The water rises by 5/12 (five twelfths).

If I want an approximate decimal answer, I can simply run this expression in a calculator:

\frac{5}{12} ≈ 0.416666667 ≈ 0.42

Y = mix + b would be slope intercept for. your y intercept would be B which is the line that crosses that y intercept your Mx would be a fraction for point slope form like if your slope would be 1 over 2 you would fo up and left twice because of rise over run

kherson [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X is the number of months between successive payments

Cumulative distribution function of X is

F(x) =0, x

a) PMF of x would be

P(x) =0, x

b) P(3 ≤ X ≤ 6) =0.86-0.44=0.42\\ P(4 ≤ X)=1-0.44=0.56\\P(3 < X < 6) =0.6\\P(4 < X) =1-0.48=0.52

The number of frogs on the pond is Proportional to the number of salamanders placed in the pond. Suppose there are 10 Frog’s for
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Y=10x

(multiply 10 times the salamanders)

Step-by-step explanation:

a formula that can be used for this circumstance is a linear y=mx+b problem. for 1 salamander there are 10 frogs. so with this we can state that y=10x. whatever you plug into the x for the number of salamanders will give you the answer of how many frogs are in the pond. for example.

Y=10x

Y=10(3)

Y=30

30 frogs.

also because 10 is a nice number you can just multiply the number of salamanders times 10. 3*10=30
