The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:

x: the total mass of the chemical in the container

y: a sample of a chemical from a container

We have the following equation:

y = (3/10) x - 5 3/4

Then, for y = 39.1 we have:

39.1 = (3/10) x - 5 3/4

Clearing x:

(3/10) x = 39.1 + 5 3/4

(3/10) x = 44.85

x = (10/3) * (44.85)

x = 149.5 grams

Answer:

the total mass in grams of the chemical in the container before the scientist removed the sample of 39.1 grams was:

x = 149.5 grams.

The volume of the cylinder above is 2,314.25, and the radius of the base is 8.9 Find the volume of the cone.
olga55 [171]

Answer: 771.41\ units^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing figure is attached.

The volume of an oblique cylinders and the volume of  a right cylinder can be found with this formula:

V_{cy}=\pi r^2h

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height.

The volume of an oblique cone and the volume of  a right cone can be found with this formula:

V_{co}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height.

According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the volume of the cylinder and also the radius of the cylinder and the cone ,are the following:

V_{cy}=2,314.25\ units^3\\\\r=8.9\ units

Therefore, in order to find the volume of the cone, you only need to multiply the volume of the cylinder by \frac{1}{3}.

Then, you get:

V_{co}=\frac{1}{3}(2,314.25\ units^3)\\\\V_{co}=771.41\ units^3

A=$20.20/10gal=$2.02 per gal

B=$26.04/12gal=$2.17 per gal

C=$28.14/14gal=$2.01 per gal

D=$30.45/15gal=$2.03 per gal

So C is the cheapest per gallon.

Roy Gross is considering an investment that pays 7.6 percent, compounded annually. How much will he have to invest today so that
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: he should invest $16129 today.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $P represent the initial amount that should be invested today. It means that principal,

P = $P

It would be compounded annually. This means that it would be compounded once in a year. So

n = 1

The rate at which the principal would be compounded is 7.6%. So

r = 7.6/100 = 0.076

The duration of the investment would be 6 years. So

t = 6

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years.

A = 25000

Therefore

25000 = P(1+0.076/1)^1×6

25000 = P(1.076)^6

25000 = 1.55P

P = 25000/1.55

P = $16129

A population of 200 rabbits can be modeled by the equation y = 200e^0.06x, where y is the final population of rabbits and x is t
Elenna [48]
Graph 2, Option 4 would be your answer because:
If you substitute 1 into the equation (x), you would get about 212
If you substitute 2, you would get approximately 225
If you substitute 10, you would get approximately 364.
Looking at the graph, your answer would be going up and to the right, the population is getting bigger while the years are increasing as well.
If we substitute 15 into x in the equation, we would get approximately 492.
