Consider the volume of a rectangular pyramid, one whose base is not square. Does changing one of the three variables (length, wi

dth, or height) by a given fraction have a greater effect on the volume of the pyramid than changing either of the other two variables? That is, which variable, if any, has the largest influence on the volume? Assume that the other two variables remain constant. Explain your answer.

Let

L------> the length of the base of the pyramid

W-----> the width of the base of the pyramid

H-----> the height of the pyramid

V------> Volume of a rectangular pyramid


we know that

V=(1/3)*[L*W]*H

so

the three variables are going to have the same influence on the volume


example

case a) let's change the variable L (we reduce the variable by half)

L=(1/2)*L

the new volume is equal to

V new=(1/3)*[(L/2)*W]*H-----> V new=(1/2)*V

the new volume is half the original volume


case b) let's change the variable W (we reduce the variable by half)

W=(1/2)*W

the new volume is equal to

V new=(1/3)*[(W/2)*L]*H-----> V new=(1/2)*V

the new volume is half the original volume


case c) let's change the variable H (we reduce the variable by half)

H=(1/2)*H

the new volume is equal to

V new=(1/3)*[L*W]*H/2-----> V new=(1/2)*V

the new volume is half the original volume


therefore


the answer is

the three variables have the same influence on the volume

Answer:

PLATO SAMPLE ANSWER:

No. Changing one of the three variables (l, w, or h) by a given fraction has the same effect on the volume of a rectangular pyramid as changing either of the other two variables because each variable appears as a factor in the volume formula.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

a)3n + 4 \\  \\n = 1 \\ 3 \times 1 + 4 \\ 3 + 4 \\  =7 \\  \\ n = 2 \\ 3 \times 2 + 4 \\ 6 + 4 \\  = 10 \\  \\ n = 3 \\ 3 \times 3 + 4 \\ 9 + 4 \\  = 13 \\  \\ n = 4 \\ 3 \times 4 + 4 \\ 12 + 4 \\  = 16 \\  \\ n = 10 \\ 3 \times 10 + 4 \\ 30 + 4 \\  = 34 \\

So in this sequence,

1st term = 7

2nd term = 10

3rd term = 13

4th term = 16

10th term = 34

b)4n - 5 \\  \\ n = 1 \\ 4 \times 1 - 5 \\ 4 - 5 \\  =  - 1 \\  \\ n = 2 \\ 4 \times 2 - 5 \\ 8 - 5 \\ =  3 \\  \\ n = 3 \\ 4 \times 3 - 5 \\ 12 - 5 \\  = 7 \\  \\ n = 4 \\ 4 \times 4 - 5 \\ 16- 5 \\  = 11 \\  \\ n = 10 \\ 4 \times 10 - 5 \\ 40 - 5 \\  = 35

In this sequence,

1st term = -1

2nd term = 3

3rd term = 7

4th term = 11

10th term =35

Suppose a city with population 800,000 has been growing at a rate of 5% per year. If this rate continues, find the population of
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

2,340,208.5 or 2,340,209

Step-by-step explanation:

You could answer this by multiplying the current population of 800,000 by 1.05 (1.05 represents the annual growth rate of population) and do that 22 times.  But that would take a while.

we got 1.05 because the formula says that y = a( 1 + r ) power t

for a we will give it 1

so y = 1 ( 1 + 0.05) power t

it will give us 1.05

to do this faster, you would first calculate (1.05)22and then multiply this by 800,000.

So, 800,000 x (1.05)22 = 2,340,208.5 or 2,340,209
