On average, Margo scores a goal for her field hockey team every 2 out of 3 shots. Margo uses a number cube to simulate her next three shots. She assigns 1 to 4 as goals and 5 and 6 as missed shots. Why does this assignment of numbers on the number cube make it a valid simulation?
Answer:
Margo makes 2/3 shots and making 4 shots and missing 2 shots equals 6 so 4/6 reduces to 2/3.

Hello people ~
The given figure shows a cone of height "h cm" and base-radius "r cm" that is made from a wooden spherical solid of radius 10 cm. The volume of the cone is cm³.
(a) Show that r² =20h-h²
(b) Express V in terms of h
(c) Hence, find the value of h such that the volume of the cone is a maximum.
Cone details:
height: h cmradius: r cmSphere details:
radius: 10 cm================
From the endpoints (EO, UO) of the circle to the center of the circle (O), the radius is will be always the same.
Using Pythagoras Theorem
(a)
TO² + TU² = OU²
(h-10)² + r² = 10² [insert values]
r² = 10² - (h-10)² [change sides]
r² = 100 - (h² -20h + 100) [expand]
r² = 100 - h² + 20h -100 [simplify]
r² = 20h - h² [shown]
r = √20h - h² ["r" in terms of "h"]
(b)
volume of cone = 1/3 * π * r² * h
===========================
[tex]\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} * \pi * (\sqrt{20h - h^2})^2 \ ( h)[/tex]
[tex]\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} * \pi * (20h - h^2) (h)[/tex]
[tex]\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} * \pi * (20 - h) (h) ( h)[/tex]
[tex]\longrightarrow \sf V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi h^2(20-h)[/tex]
To find maximum/minimum, we have to find first derivative.
(c)
First derivative
[tex]\Longrightarrow \sf V' =\dfrac{d}{dx} ( \dfrac{1}{3} \pi h^2(20-h) )[/tex]
apply chain rule
[tex]\sf \Longrightarrow V'=\dfrac{\pi \left(40h-3h^2\right)}{3}[/tex]
Equate the first derivative to zero, that is V'(x) = 0
[tex]\Longrightarrow \sf \dfrac{\pi \left(40h-3h^2\right)}{3}=0[/tex]
[tex]\Longrightarrow \sf 40h-3h^2=0[/tex]
[tex]\Longrightarrow \sf h(40-3h)=0[/tex]
[tex]\Longrightarrow \sf h=0, \ 40-3h=0[/tex]
[tex]\Longrightarrow \sf h=0,\:h=\dfrac{40}{3}[/tex]
maximum volume: when h = 40/3
[tex]\sf \Longrightarrow max= \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (\dfrac{40}{3} )^2(20-\dfrac{40}{3} )[/tex]
[tex]\sf \Longrightarrow maximum= 1241.123 \ cm^3[/tex]
minimum volume: when h = 0
[tex]\sf \Longrightarrow min= \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (0)^2(20-0)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
Part (a)A right triangle can be drawn with vertices at the center O, the base angle of the cone and the center of the base of the cone (see annotated image).
Side lengths of the formed right triangle:
Hypotenuse = radius of sphere = 10 cmHeight = height of cone - radius of sphere = (h - 10) cmBase = base radius of cone = r cmUsing Pythagoras' Theorem [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)
[tex]\implies r^2+(h-10)^2=10^2[/tex]
[tex]\implies r^2+h^2-20h+100=100[/tex]
[tex]\implies r^2+h^2-20h=0[/tex]
[tex]\implies r^2=20h-h^2[/tex]
Part (b)[tex]\textsf{Volume of a cone}=\dfrac13 \pi r^2h[/tex]
(where r is the radius and h is the height)
Substitute the expression for [tex]r^2[/tex] found in part (a) into the equation so that volume (V) is expressed in terms of h:
[tex]\begin{aligned}V & =\dfrac13 \pi r^2h\\\\ \implies V & =\dfrac13 \pi (20h-h^2)h\\\\ & = \dfrac13 \pi (20h^2-h^3)\\\\ & = \dfrac{20}{3} \pi h^2-\dfrac13 \pi h^3 \end{aligned}[/tex]
Part (c)To find the value of h such that the volume of the cone is a maximum, differentiate V with respect to h:
[tex]\begin{aligned}V & =\dfrac{20}{3} \pi h^2-\dfrac13 \pi h^3\\\\ \implies \dfrac{dV}{dh} & =2 \cdot \dfrac{20}{3} \pi h-3 \cdot \dfrac13 \pi h^2\\\\ & = \dfrac{40}{3} \pi h- \pi h^2\\\\ & = \pi h\left(\dfrac{40}{3}-h\right)\end{aligned}[/tex]
Set it to zero:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\dfrac{dV}{dh} & =0\\\\ \implies \pi h\left(\dfrac{40}{3}-h\right) & = 0\end{aligned}[/tex]
Solve for h:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \pi h & = 0 \implies h=0\\ \dfrac{40}{3}-h & =0\implies h=\dfrac{40}{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]
Substitute the found values of h into the equation for Volume:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{when}\:h=0:V &=\dfrac{20}{3} \pi (0)^2-\dfrac13 \pi (0)^3\\\\ \implies V & =0\sf \:cm^3\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{when}\:h=\dfrac{40}{3}:V &=\dfrac{20}{3} \pi \left(\dfrac{40}{3}\right)^2-\dfrac13 \pi \left(\dfrac{40}{3}\right)^3\\\\ \implies V & =\dfrac{32000}{27} \pi -\dfrac{64000}{81} \pi\\\\ & = \dfrac{32000}{81} \pi \\\\ & = 1241.123024..\sf \:cm^3\end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of h such that the volume of the cone is a maximum is:
[tex]h=\dfrac{40}{3}[/tex]
In the graph above, the coordinates of the vertices of QPR are Q(3, 0), P(5, 6), and R(7, 0). If AQPR is reflected across
the x-axis to create Q'P'R', find the coordinates of R.
A. (-7,0)
B. (3,0)
C. (5,-6)
D. (7,0)
Answer:
D. (7, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule for a reflection over the y-axis is (x, y) → (x, -y)
This means that the x-values stay the same while the y-values change.
Q(x, y) → (x, -y)
Q(3, 0) → (3, 0)
Q'(3, 0)
P(x, y) → (x, -y)
P(5, 6) → (5, -6)
P'(5, -6)
R(x, y) → (x, -y)
R(7, 0) → (7, 0)
R'(7, 0)
Therefore, the correct answer is D.

Function h is nonlinear, and h(4) = 2. Which equation could represent function h ?
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
H(4) simply means that where there is X, it must be substituted by the value 4
So lets see step by step:
A. h(4)=2 (incorrect)(there is no X to substitute on the right side and it is stated that H is non linear. This 2 would mean that H is a straight line)
B. (4)^3 -4= 60 (incorrect as answer needs to be 2)
C. 2^4 - 14=2 (correct, as answer is 2 and equation is non linear)
D. 1/2 (4) +3 = 5 (incorrect)

Answer:
The expression represent the total amount of price money is 3x-150.
The expressions let X be the amount of money for first place. This means X-50 would be the amount of second place because each subsequent place after 1st wins $50 less than the previous place. Thirds, would be X-50-50 or X-100.
That is X = first place and each place after that is 50 less so 2nd place would be x - 50 and third place would be x - 100.
Thus the total amount of money would be all of the values combined which is
x + (x - 50) + (x - 100)
Combinimg the like terms
What is the combinimg the like terms?
To combine like terms, we have to add the coefficients and keep the variables the same. We add like terms to make one term.

A. r = 9 sec theta
B. r = 9 tan theta sec theta
C. r = 9tan^2 theta
D. r = 9sec^2 theta
From the graph and orientation of the parametric equations: A. the graph is a circle with a radius of 4. The orientation is counterclockwise as t increases.
How to find a polar function?In geometry, the relationship between the rectangular coordinates (x, y) and polar coordinates (r, t) is given by these polar functions:
x = rcost and y = rsint.
Where:
t is the angle.r is the radius of a circle.Mathematically, the standard form of the polar equation of a circle is given by;
x² + y² = r²
Given the following data;
x = 16cost ⇒ x² = 16cos²t
y = 16sint ⇒ y² = 16sin²t
Evaluating, we have:
x² + y² = 16
r² = 16
r = √16
Radius, r = 4.
Also, the orientation is counterclockwise as t increases because the angle gets bigger (increases).
How to determine polar form of the parametric equations?x = 3t .....equation 1.
y = t² .....equation 2.
Making t the subject of formula in eqn. 1, we have:
t = x/3 .....equation 3.
Substituting eqn. 3 into eqn. 2, we have:
y = (x/3)²
rsinθ = (rcosθ/3)²
rsinθ = r²cos²θ/9
9rsinθ = r²cos²θ
9sinθ = rcos²θ
r = 9sinθ/cos²θ
r = 9 × (sinθ/cosθ) × 1/cosθ

[tex]\Longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{Rise}{Run} }[/tex]
[tex]\sf{y_2=9}\\\\\\\sf{y_1=5}\\\\\\\sf{x_2=3}\\\\\\\sf{x_1=1}[/tex]
[tex]\sf{\dfrac{9-5}{3-1} }[/tex]
Solve.
[tex]\sf{\dfrac{9-5}{3-1}=\dfrac{4}{2}=\boxed{\sf{2}}[/tex]
Therefore, the slope is 2, which is our answer.I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
In how many ways can 8 people be seated in a row of chairs if three of the people, John, Wilma, and Paul, refuse to sit in three consecutive seats?
Answer:
I think it's easiest to count the ways that they can consecutively sit together and subtract this from the total number of seating arrangements.
There are 6 groups of 3 consecutive seats. Within each group there are 3!=6 ways the three people can be arranged
Then the remaining 5 people can be arranged 5!=120 ways in the remaining seats.
So there are 6*6*120 = 4320 arrangements where they DO sit consecutively
There are 8! = 40320 total arrangements.
So there are 40320 - 4320 = 36000 arrangements where the 3 do not sit consecutively.
