Answer:

About 71% of the books were mystery books

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of something you simply divide the amounts. 17 of the 24 books were mystery so to find the percentage of mystery books you do 17 divided by 24

17/24= 0.70833333333

and round it to 71

Use polar coordinates to find the volume of the given solid. bounded by the paraboloid z = 5 + 2x2 + 2y2 and the plane z = 11 in

podryga [215]

Using cylindrical coordinates,

$\displaystyle\int_{x=0}^{x=\sqrt3}\int_{y=0}^{y=\sqrt{3-x^2}}\int_{z=5+2x^2+2y^2}^{z=11}\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$
$\displaystyle=\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=\pi/2}\int_{r=0}^{r=\sqrt3}\int_{z=5+2r^2}^{z=11}r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle\frac\pi2\int_{r=0}^{r=\sqrt3}r(11-(5+2r^2))\,\mathrm dr$
$=\displaystyle\pi\int_{r=0}^{r=\sqrt3}(3r-r^3)\,\mathrm dr$
$=\dfrac{9\pi}4$

How do you tell whether the ratios form a proportion

valkas [14]

Set them up like this example:

4 8
_ = _

6 12

cross multiply by multiplying 4 by 12 and 6 by 8.
If they are equal then it is proportional.
