A pile of earth removed from an excavation is a cone measuring 9 ft high and 24 ft across its base. How many trips will it take

to haul away the earth using a dump truck with a capacity of 9 cubic yards?

Answer: It would take 6 trips

Step-by-step explanation: The pile of earth has formed into a cone with the following dimensions, height is 9 feet and base diameter is 24 feet across.

However the haulage truck has its capacity measured in yards, and so we use a standard rate of conversion of yards to feet and vice versa. The standard rate is;

1 Yard = 3 Feet

Hence, the height of the pile of earth an now be given as;

h yards = 9/3

h yards = 3

height = 3 yards

Similarly, the the base of the pile of earth can be calculated as;

(Note that the radius is derived as diameter divided by 2, that is 24/2)

r yards = 12/3

r yards = 4

radius = 4 yards

The volume of a cone is given as;

Volume = πr²h/3

Volume = 3.14 x 4² x (3/3)

Volume = 3.14 x 16

Volume = 50.24 cubic yards

For a haulage truck that can haul 9 cubic yards per trip, the total number of trips required to haul the entire volume of dirt is given as follows;

No of trips = 50.24 ÷ 9

No of trips = 5.5822

No of trips ≈ 6

Therefore it would take the truck 6 trips to haul the entire pile of earth.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Taylor series of sinc(x) we will use the taylor series of sin(x). We have that

\sin(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}

which is the taylor series expansion based at 0. Then for x\neq 0, by dividing both sidex by x, we have that

\text{sinc}(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{x}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}

which is the taylor series expansion for the sinc function. Since the series of sine converges for every value of x. Then the taylor series of sinc converges for every value of x, but 0.

Please... Solve this: the bearing of a tree from a house is 295°. Find the bearing of the house from the tree.
jonny [76]

Given parameters:

Bearing of the tree from the house  = 295°

Unknown:

Bearing of the house from the tree = ?

Solution:

This is whole circle bearing problem(wcb). There are different ways of representing directions from one place to another. In whole circle bearing, the value of the bearing varies from 0° to 360° in the clockwise direction.

To find the back bearing in this regard, simple deduct the forward bearing from 360°;

    Backward bearing  = 360° -295°

                                    = 65°

The bearing from house to the tree is 65°

A circle is centered at the point -3 2 and passes through the point 1 and 5 the radius of the circle is blank units
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The radius of the circle is 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

centered point = (-3 , 2)

a point in the circle = (1,5)

To find the radius of circle we will use the circle equation

(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²,

with the centre being at the point (h, k) and the radius being r.

Plug values in the equation

(1 – (-3))² + (5 – 2)² = r²

(1+3)² + (3)² = r²

4² + 3² = r²

25 = r²

r = √25

r = 5

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are six and -2 and who’s leading coefficient is 3 use the letter X to represent the var
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3X^{2} - 12X - 36 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

6 and - 2 are the only two solutions to the required quadratic equation.

So, if the variable is represented by X then (X - 6) and (X + 2) will be the only two factors of the polynomial function.

Therefore, the equation is  

(X - 6)(X + 2) = 0

⇒ X^{2} - 4X - 12 = 0

If the leading coefficient of the equation is 3 then we can write the equation as 3X^{2} - 12X - 36 = 0 (Answer)
