A construction company was contracted to build a cylindrical storage tank with a diameter of 48 feet and height of 25 feet. Just

before construction was to begin, it was learned that a new law allows tanks to be a maximum of 9 feet in height. If the tank is redesigned to meet the law, but has the same volume, what is its new diameter?

V=hpir^2
d/2=r

so, at first, diameter is 48ft
48/2=24ft is radius
height is 25ft

so volume=25pi24^2 or 14400pi cubic feet

max of 9ft

if we want 9ft height
find r
hmm

14400pi=9pir^2
divide both sides by 9pi
1600=r^2
sqrt both sides
40=r
2r=d
2(40)=80=d

the new diameter is 80ft

Suppose the man in the St. Ives poem has x wives, each wife has x sacks, each sack has x cats, and each cat has x kits. Write an

marishachu [46]

Answer: $x+x^2+x^3+x^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given,

Number of wives = $x$

Number of sacks = $x (\text{Number of wives} )= x\times x = x^2$

Number of cats = $x(\text{Number of sack})$ $= x \times x^2=x^3$

Number of kits = $x(\text{Number of cats} )=x\times x^3=x^4$

Now , the total number of kits, cats, sacks, and wives going to St. Ives = $x+x^2+x^3+x^4$

Hence, the required ex[pression: $x+x^2+x^3+x^4$

A submarine travels 6.6 km due West from its base and then turns and travels due South for 3.9

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

$7.7$ km

Step-by-step explanation:

The submarine's path from its base forms a right triangle when its final position is "connected" to the base. We know that the right triangle has legs of $6.6$ km and $3.9$ km, and we need to find the length of its hypotenuse. To do so, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, $a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}$ , where $a$ and $b$ are the lengths of the triangle's legs and $c$ is the length of the triangle's hypotenuse. In this case, we know what $a$ and $b$ are, and we need to solve for c, so after substituting the given values of $a$ and $b$ into $a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}$ to solve for c, we get:

$a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}$

$6.6^{2} +3.9^{2} =c^{2}$ (Substitute $a=6.6$ and $b=3.9$ into the equation)

$43.56+15.21=c^{2}$ (Evaluate the squares on the LHS)

$58.77=c^{2}$ (Simplify the LHS)

$c^{2}=58.77$ (Symmetric Property of Equality)

$\sqrt{c^{2} } =\sqrt{58.77}$ (Take the square root of both sides of the equation)

$c=7.7,c=-7.7$ (Simplify)

$c=-7.7$ is an extraneous solution because you can't have negative distance, if that makes sense, so therefore, the submarine is approximately $7.7$ km away from its base. Hope this helps!

Find the limit if it exists lim x→0 sqrtx+7-sqrt7 over x

Triss [41]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{ 2\sqrt{7} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{ \sqrt{x + 7} - \sqrt{7} }{x} \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{( \sqrt{x + 7} - \sqrt{7}) }{x} \times \frac{( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7}) }{( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7}) } \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{( \sqrt{x + 7} )^{2} - (\sqrt{7})^{2} }{x( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7})} \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{( {x + 7} - {7}) }{x( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7})} \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{ {\cancel x}}{\cancel x( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7})} \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{ {1}}{\sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7}} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{0 + 7} + \sqrt{7} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} + \sqrt{7} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ 2\sqrt{7} }$
