Answer:

There were two causes that fostered maritime exploration sponsored by European states: on the one hand, mercantilism, and on the other, the spread of Islam in the Middle East.

Mercantilism was based on the fact that the economic well-being of states consisted of stocks of gold and silver. The theory assumed that the total wealth of a business is unchangeable, so that the profit of one signifies the inevitable loss of another. According to the theory, governments should have effective economic control by promoting the export and accumulation of precious metals, while reducing imports, especially through the use of excise duties. Thus, European nations began to promote maritime explorations, with the aim of finding new territories to exploit economically, as well as establishing new trade routes where to locate their products and generate greater wealth.

On the other hand, the expansion of Islam and the control of the Middle East by the Turks made the European nations have to look for new alternative routes to carry out trade, thus promoting the exploration of the seas.

Surface Area of a can is 517.8 cm^2. Maximize the volume of this can using the measured surface area.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

$r = 5.24$ --- Radius

$h = 10.48$ --- Height

Explanation:

Given

Object: Can (Cylinder)

$Surface\ Area = 517.8cm^2$

Required

Maximize the volume

The surface area is:

$S.A = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$

Substitute 517.8 for S.A

$517.8 = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$

Divide through by 2

$258.9 = \pi r^2 + \pi rh$

Factorize:

$258.9 = \pi r(r + h)$

Divide through by $\pi r$

$\frac{258.9}{\pi r} = r + h$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{258.9}{\pi r} - r$ --- (1)

Volume (V) is calculated as:

$V = \pi r^2h$

Substitute (1) for h

$V = \pi r^2(\frac{258.9}{\pi r} - r)$

Open Bracket

$V = 258.9r - \pi r^3$

Differentiate V

$V' = 258.9 - 3\pi r^2$

Set V' to 0

$0 = 258.9 - 3\pi r^2$

Collect Like Terms

$3\pi r^2 = 258.9$

Divide through by 3

$\pi r^2 = 86.3$

Divide through by $\pi$

$r^2 = \frac{86.3}{\pi}$

$r^2 = \frac{86.3*7}{22}$

$r^2 = \frac{604.1}{22}$

Take square root of both sides

$r = \sqrt{\frac{604.1}{22}$

$r = 5.24$

Recall that:

$h = \frac{258.9}{\pi r} - r$

Substitute 5.24 for r

$h = \frac{258.9}{\pi * 5.24} - 5.24$

$h = \frac{258.9*7}{22 * 5.24} - 5.24$

$h = \frac{1812.3}{115.28} - 5.24$

$h = 15.72 - 5.24$

$h = 10.48$

Hence, the dimension that maximize the volume is:

$r = 5.24$ --- Radius

$h = 10.48$ --- Height

In which of the following countries would you expect to see the greatest difference between HDI and GDI?

MariettaO [177]

The difference will be the biggest in Iran.

Explanation:

The HDI represents the human development index, or rather it takes in account both men and women and creates the statistics as a whole. The GDI, on the other hand is representing the gender gaps between men and women. The GDI is based on the HDI, just that it takes the statistics for the men and women separately and calculates the difference between them.

The measurements are done by taking in account health, living standards, and knowledge. From the countries on the list, the biggest gap between the two will be in Iran. While the HDI will give us some representation for the nation as a whole, and it is not going to be the best, the GDI will show us much different picture. The men rank as big portion of the men in the developing countries across the world. The women on the other hand fall way behind.

The reason for this is the manner in which the country is run. The women don't have the same rights as men. The men actually own their wives and their wives are not allowed to do anything without their permission. The women are almost exclusively allowed to perform only house work, but they are not allowed to work in general, nor they are allowed to educate themselves if their husband, father, or brother thinks it is not the right choice.
