Zoltan has a list of whole numbers, all larger than 0 but smaller than 1000. He notices that every number in his list is either

timama [110]

The largest number of different whole numbers that can be on Zoltan's list is 999

<h3>How to determine the largest number?</h3>

The condition is given as:

Number = 1/3 of another number

Number = 3 times another number

This means that the list consists of multiples of 3

The largest multiple of 3 less than 1000 is 999

Hence, the largest number of different whole numbers that can be on Zoltan's list is 999

For the graphed function f(x) = -(5)* - 3 + 2, calculate the average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 4.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change from x=a to x=b of f(x) is $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

The given function is $f(x)=-5^{x-3}+2$ .

$f(4)=-5^{4-3}+2=-3$ .

$f(4)=-5^{3-3}+2=1$ .

The average rate of change from x=3 to x=4 is given by:

$\frac{f(4)-f(3)}{4-3}$

$\frac{-3-1}{4-3}=-4$

A cone shaped paper water cup has a height of 12 cm and a radius of 6 cm. If the cup is filled with water to half its height, wh

monitta

Answer:

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is $\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the paper water cup

The volume of the cone is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h$

we have

$r=6\ cm$

$h=12\ cm$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^{2}(12)$

$V=144\pi\ cm^{3}$

step 2

If the cup is filled with water to half its height, find out what portion of the volume of the cup is filled with water

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

In this problem the similar cone has half the height of the complete cone

The scale factor is equal to 1/2

therefore

The volume of the cup that is filled with water is equal to the volume of the complete cup by the scale factor elevated to the cube

$V=(1/2)^{3}(144\pi)=(1/8)144\pi\ cm^{3}$

therefore

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is

$\frac{1}{8}$
