Answer:

a. 2:3, b. 25 students, c. 3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 5 (total) - 2 (with glasses) = 3 (without glasses), making the ratio 2:3.

b. We can assign the total students with the variable x. 3:5=15:x, 75=3x, x=25. 25 total students.

c. 25 (total students) - 15 (without glasses) = 10 (with glasses). (10+5):(15-5) is 15:10, which, when simplified, equals to 3:2.

The radius AND height of a cylinder are each doubled. What is the new volume?

Naya [18.7K]

The volume of a cylinder is given by

$V = \pi hr^2$

Let $h\mapsto 2h$ and $r\mapsto 2r$

The new volume becomes

$V = \pi(2h)(2r)^2 = \pi\cdot 2h \cdot 4r^2 = 8\pi hr^2$

So, the new volume is 8 times the original volume. In fact, volume scales linearly with the height and quadratically with the radius.

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval. f(x) = 6x3 ? 9x2 ? 108x + 2, [?3, 4]

SVEN [57.7K]

Assuming the question marks are minus signs
to find max, take derivitive and test 0's and endpoints

take derivitive
f'(x)=18x²-18x-108
it equal 0 at x=-2 and 3
if we make a sign chart to find the change of signs
the sign changes from (+) to (-) at x=-2 and from (-) to (+) at x=3
so a reletive max at x=-2 and a reletive min at x=3

test entpoints

f(-3)=83
f(-2)=134
f(3)=-241
f(4)=-190

the min is at x=3 and max is at x=-2
