The volume of a cylinder is given below as
[tex]V_{\text{cylinder}}=\pi\times r^2\times h[/tex]By substituting values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} V_{\text{cylinder}}=\pi\times r^2\times h \\ 1617=\frac{22}{7}\times(2x)^2\times(3x) \\ 1617=\frac{22}{7}\times4x^2\times3x \\ 1617\times7=264x^3 \\ \text{divdie both sides by 264} \\ \frac{264x^3}{264}=\frac{1617\times7}{264} \\ x^3=\frac{343}{8} \\ x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{343}{8}} \\ x=\frac{7}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]The radius therefore will be

Can you please help me out with a question
Answers
the figure is composed by a 4 triangles and a cube
to find the area of a triangle we need the base and height. the base is 15ft
to find the height we mut use the pithagorean theorem
h= height of the traingle
[tex]h^2=(15ft)^2+(7.5ft)^2[/tex]resolving we have
[tex]h=\sqrt[\square]{281.25}\text{ = 16.78 aprox}[/tex]and now he have all the measures
each triangle at the top has an area equal to
[tex]A=\frac{16.78ft\cdot15ft}{2}=127.78sq\text{ ft}[/tex]now we multiply that by 4: 127.78sq ft*4=503.1 sq ft
for the bottom part, there are 5 squares of side 15ft
each square has an area = 15ft*15ft = 225 sq ft
multipliying that by 5: 225sqft*5=1125 sq ft
the total area is 1125 sq ft+503.1sqft=1628.1 sq ft rounded is 1628 sq ft
For the volume of the piramid, we use
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}A\cdot h[/tex]where A is the area of the base and h is the height
so volume of piramid:
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot225\text{sqft}\cdot15ft=1125ft^3[/tex]for the volume of the cube we multiply the side length 3 times:
[tex]V\mleft(cube\mright)=(15ft)^3=3375ft^3[/tex]Adding the two volumes:
1125ft^3+3375ft^3=4500 cubic feet

1.For a standard normal distribution, find:P(1.26 < z < 1.48)2.For a standard normal distribution, given:P(z < c) = 0.1288
Answers
Standard Normal Distribution
To find the cumulative probability of a Normal Distribution, we need to use some automated digital tool that makes the calculations for us, since it's a pretty complex formula.
We'll use an online tool and provide the results here.
a) P(1.26 < z < 1.48)
The procedure is: Find P(z < 1.48) directly from the tool. Find P(z < 1.48) also. Subtract both values.
P(z < 1.48) = 0.931
P(z < 1.26) = 0.896
Subtract the values above: 0.931 - 0.896 = 0.035. Thus:
P(1.26 < z < 1.48) = 0.035
b) Find c such that: P(z < c) = 0.1288
We need to use the inverse Normal Distribution, enter the probability and find the z-score: c = -1.132
Ivanna bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $450 less than the desktop. She paid for the computers using two different financing plans. For the desktop the interest rate was 6.5% per year, and for the laptop it was 9% per year. The total finance charges for one year were $409. How much did each computer cost before finance charges?
Answers
Solution:
According to the problem, the laptop costs $450 less than the desktop. Let x the cost of the laptop, then we get the following equation:
[tex]x\text{ + 450 = cost of the desktop}[/tex]now, the total finance charge of $409 is from 9% of the cost of the laptop and 6.5% of the cost of the desktop. According to this, we get the following equation:
[tex]0.09(x)+0.065(x+450)=409[/tex]Applying the distributive property, we get:
[tex]0.09x+0.065x+29.25=409[/tex]now, placing like terms on each side of the equation, we get:
[tex]0.09x+0.065x=409-29.25[/tex]this is equivalent to:
[tex]0.155x\text{ = 379.75}[/tex]solving for x, we get:
[tex]x\text{ = }\frac{379.75}{0.155}=2450[/tex]this means that:
The cost of the laptop is x = 2450
and
The cost of the desktop is x+450 = 2450 +450 = 2900.
So that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:
Cost of the laptop = 2450
Cost of the desktop =2900.
desktop price be x
laptop price (x+450)
For the desktop the interest rate was 9% per year,
Interest = 9%x
and for the laptop it was 6% per year.
Interest = 6%(x+450)
The total finance charges for one year were $300
9%x + 6%(x+450) = 300
9x+6(x+450) = 300*100
9x+6x +2700=30000
15x= 30000-2700
15x=27300
x= 1820
The graph of an inequality has a closed circle at 4.3, and the ray moves to the right. What inequality is graphed?x > 4.3x ≥ 4.3x ≤ 4.3x < 4.3
Answers
From the question, we were told that the graph of an inequality has a closed circle at 4.3 and the ray moves to the right also.
We are to determined the inequality that is graphed from the options.
From what is seen, we want x to be greater than or equal to 4.3.
The closed circle tells us that it can be equal to 4.3. The ray to the right tells us that we are looking for numbers larger than 4.3.
So the inequality graphed is that of x is greater than or equal to 4.3
So the correct option is the second option which is x ≥ 4.3.

Answers
Leah earns 5x + 8y dollars, after x hours babysitting and y hours at the ice cream shop.
She wants to earn at least $120, then:
5x + 8y ≥ 120
Given that Leah babysits for 7 hours, then:
5(7) + 8y ≥ 120
35 + 8y ≥ 120
8y ≥ 120 - 35
8y ≥ 85
y ≥ 85/8
y ≥ 10.625
She must work at least 11 hours
Given that 7 + 11 = 18, then she would not work more than 20 hours as she expected

vertex, domain and range, and zeros in this parabola, could you tell me them?
Answers
The vertex, domain, range and zeros of the parabola are -2, (-∞, +∞), (-2,+∞) and -0.5 and 2.5 respectively.
What is parabola ?Parabola is a curve like shape, in which any point is equal distance from a fix point.
The vertex of the parabola in the given graph is -2.
The domain of parabola is all the possible values of x,
in the given graph, the value of x is from -∞ to +∞
So the domain of parabola is (-∞, +∞)
The range of parabolas is all the values of y corresponding to values of x,
in the graph, the value of y≥-2
The range of parabola is (-2,+∞)
Zeros are values on the x-axis, which are 0.

[tex]undefined[/tex]In the first week of July, a record 1,040 people went to the local swimming pool. In the second week,125 fewer people went to the pool than in the first week. In the third week,135 more people went to the pool than in the second week. In the fourth week,322 fewer people went to the pool than in the third week. What is the percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over these four weeks?
Answers
By the concept of percentage there is 20% decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over these four weeks.
What is percentage?A percentage is a statistic or ratio that is expressed as a fraction of 100 in mathematics. But even though the abbreviation "pct.", "pct.", and occasionally "pc" are also used, the percent symbol, "%," is frequently used to signify it. A % is a dimensionless number; there is no specific unit of measurement for it. %, a relative figure signifying hundredths of any amount. Since one percent (symbolized as 1%) is equal to one hundredth of something, 100 percent stands for everything, and 200 percent refers to twice the amount specified. A percentage is a figure or ratio that in mathematics represents a portion of one hundred. It is frequently represented by the sign "%" or just "percent" or "pct." For instance, the fraction or decimal 0.35 is comparable to 35%.
In July:
First week:
Number of people went to the local swimming pool
=1040
Second week:
110 fewer people went to the pool than in the first week
Number of people went to the local swimming pool
=1040 - 110
=930
Third week:
130 more people went to the pool than in the second week
Number of people went to the local swimming pool
=930 + 130
=1060
Fourth week:
228 fewer people went to the pool than in the third week
Number of people went to the local swimming pool
=1060 - 228
=832
Decrease in number of people over four week
= number of people in first week - number of people in fourth week
Decrease in number of people over four week
=1040 - 832
=208
Now, the percentage
= 20%

so the |q| at 300 degree is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} |q|=5\times\frac{300}{45} \\ |q|=33.33 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now |q-r| is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} |q-r|=33.33-16 \\ |q-r|=17.33 \\ |q-r|\approx18 \end{gathered}[/tex]So the correct option is d.
For each value of w, determine whether it is a solution to w < 9.Is it a solution?W5?YesNo75914
Answers
Answer: 5 and 7
Explanation:
we need to determine if a number is a solution to
[tex]w<9[/tex]That reads as "w is less than 9, and not equal to 9"
so we find in our options wich ones are less than 9. The options are:
• 7
,• 5
,• 9
,• 14
The ones smaller or less than 9 are: 5 and 7
The ones greater than 9 or equal to 9 (the ones that are not the solution) are: 9 and 14.
So the solutions are: 5 and 7
