Answer:

The value of y would be 45.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, start with the base form of direct variation.

y = kx

Now we can use our original values to model the equation and find k.

35 = k(2.5)

14 = k

Now we can model the equation as:

y = 14x

Now to find y, when x = 3.25, simply put 3.25 into the equation.

y = 14(3.25)

y = 45.5

A hollow ball is made of rubber that is 1 centimeter thick. The ball has a radius of 5 centimeters at the outside surface.

serious [3.7K]

Given that the ball has a thickness of 1 cm and the radius at the outside is 5 cm, thus the radius from inside is 5 - 1 = 4cm.

The approximate volume of rubber used to make the ball is given by the volume of the ball at the outside surface minus the volume of the ball at the inside surface.

i.e.

 $Volume\ of\ rubber= \frac{4}{3} \pi\left(5^3-4^3\right) \\ \\ = 
\frac{4}{3} \pi(61)= \frac{244}{3} \pi\approx255.5\ cm^3$

Crank

Answer:

Angle BOC = 28; Angle AOB = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Because angle AOC = AOB + BOC you can set the equation:

2x+10 + 4x-15 = 49

6x - 5 = 49

6x = 54

x= 9

BOC = 2(9) +10 = 28

AOB = 4(9) - 15 = 21

Identify the geometric mean of 8 and 20 in simplest radical form.

Temka [501]

Answer:

8/x = x/20

x^2=160

x=sqrt(160)

x=sqrt(16*10)

x=sqrt(16)*sqrt(10)

x=4*sqrt(10)

A forestry researcher wants to estimate the average height of trees in a forest near Atlanta, Georgia. She takes a random sample

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995$ . So we have T = 2.8982
