Answer:
<em>The estimated sales were $260 million</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the endpoints of a segment are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
The midpoint (xm,ym) is calculated as follows:
The sales ov Cars, Inc. were (2008,240 million) and (2010,280 million). We need to use the midpoint to estimate the sales in 2009:
The estimated sales were $260 million
9514 1404 393
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording "when x is an appropriate value" is irrelevant to this question. That phrase should be ignored. (You may want to report this to your teacher.)
When you look at the answer choices, you see that all of them are negative except the last one (D). When you look at the problem fraction, you see that it is positive.
The only reasonable choice is D.

Your calculator can check this for you.
√12/(√3 +3) ≈ 3.4641/(1.7321 +3)
= 3.4641/4.7321 ≈ 0.7321 = -1 +√3

If you want to "rationalize the denominator", then multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate is formed by switching the sign between terms.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
We "rationalize the denominator" in this way to take advantage of the relation ...
(a -b)(a +b) = a² -b²
Using this gets rid of the irrational root in the denominator, hence "rationalizes" the denominator.
We could also have multiplied by (3 -√3)/(3 -√3). This would have made the denominator positive, instead of negative. However, I chose to use (√3 -3) so you could see that all we did was change the sign from (√3 +3).
Answer:
1225π
Step-by-step explanation:
The question concerns the volume of the cylinder.
The formula of the volume is:
, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging the given numbers into the formula, we find that:
The result - 1225π shows that the cylinder can be filled fully with that given amount.
