Answer:

There are <u>250 students</u> in the 6th grade.

Step-by-step explanation:

[] Let us do "number of students" over the percentage. We will use x as the total number of students in the 6th grade.

-> 35% and 100% can be divided by 100 to become decimals

Set up a proportion:

$\frac{85}{0.34} =\frac{x}{1}$

Cross multiply:

85 = 0.34x

Divide both sides by 0.34:

250 = x

Reflexive property:

x = 250

Have a nice day!

You have been asked to design a can shaped like right circular cylinder that can hold a volume of 432π-cm3. What dimensions of t

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

$Height = 12cm$

$Radius = 6cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent volume with v, height with h and radius with r

$V = 432\pi$

Required

Determine the values of h and r that uses the least amount of material

Volume is calculated as:

$V = \pi r^2h\\$

Substitute 432π for V

$432\pi = \pi r^2h$

Divide through by π

$432 = r^2h$

Make h the subject:

$h = \frac{432}{r^2}$

Surface Area (A) of a cylinder is calculated as thus:

$A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$

Substitute $\frac{432}{r^2}$ for h in $A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$

$A=2\pi r(\frac{432}{r^2})+2\pi r^2$

$A=2\pi (\frac{432}{r})+2\pi r^2$

Factorize:

$A=2\pi (\frac{432}{r} + r^2)$

To minimize, we have to differentiate both sides and set $A' = 0$

$A'=2\pi (-\frac{432}{r^2} + 2r)$

Set $A' = 0$

$0=2\pi (-\frac{432}{r^2} + 2r)$

Divide through by $2\pi$

$0= -\frac{432}{r^2} + 2r$

$\frac{432}{r^2} = 2r$

Cross Multiply

$2r * r^2 = 432$

$2r^3 = 432$

Divide through by 2

$r^3 = 216$

Take cube roots of both sides

$r = \sqrt[3]{216}$

$r = 6$

Recall that:

$h = \frac{432}{r^2}$

$h = \frac{432}{6^2}$

$h = \frac{432}{36}$

$h = 12$

Hence, the dimension that requires the least amount of material is when

$Height = 12cm$

$Radius = 6cm$

To solve 49^3x = 343^2x+1, write each side of the<br> equation in terms of base<br> DONE

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

49^3x = 343^2x+1

49 = 7^2 and 343 = 7^3

7^2 ^3x = 7^3 ^2x+1

we know that a^b^c = a^ (b*c)

7^(2 *3x) = 7^(3 *(2x+1))

7^(6x) = 7^(6x+3)

The bases are the same so the exponents have to be the same

6x = 6x+3

Subtract 6x from each side

0 =3

This is never true so there is no solution
