Answer:

243^{2/3}:324 or approximately 0.481

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere: 4/3πr³

Surface area of a sphere: 4πr²

The initial sphere of radius 9 has a volume of \displaystyle\\9^3\cdot \frac{4}{3}\cdot \pi=972\pi

When melted into three identical spheres, each must have a volume of \displaystyle \frac{972\pi}{3}=324\pi

The radius of the smaller spheres must be:

\frac{4}{3}\pi r_s^3=324\pi \implies r_s=\sqrt[3]{243}\approx 6.24

Surface area of each smaller sphere:

\displaystyle \\4\pi r^2\vert_{r=6.24}\approx 155.76\pi

Surface area of initial sphere:

\displaystyle \\4\pi r^2\vert_{r=9}\approx 324\pi

The desired ratio is 155.76/324\approx \boxed{0.481}

Exact: 243^{2/3}:324

Answer:

<em>The ratio is 1 to 2</em>  

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the original sphere is ≈ 3,053.63 units³

The surface area of the original sphere is ≈ 1,017.88 units²

Volume of one of the small sphere is ≈ 1,017.88 units³

The radius of one of the small sphere is ≈ 6.24 units

The surface area of one of the small sphere is ≈ 489.3 units²

The ratio of the surface area of one of the small sphere to the surface area of the original sphere is

\frac{489.3}{1017.88} ≈ \frac{1}{2}

489.3 / 1017.88 ≈ 1 / 2  

<em>The ratio is 1 to 2</em>

What is the product 3x5(2x2+4x+1)
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

6x^7+12x^6+3x^5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

3x^5(2x^2+4x+1)

We expand the parenthesis using the distributive property to obtain;

3x^5(2x^2)+3x^5(4x)+3x^5(1)

Recall that;

a^m\imes a^n=a^{m+n}

We apply this property and multiply out the constant terms to obtain;

6x^7+12x^6+3x^5
