Question 83152: Radical sign and the radicand under it is x - 1 = 3
This is what I got. Let me know, if it is correct.
radical sign and the radicand under it is x - 1 = 3
+ 1 +1
x = 4
radical sign and the radicand under it is x squared = (4) squared
answer = x = 16

Question 83300: am so behind in my math homework. I need help.

The volume of a cylinder (think about the volume of a can) is given by V = pie symbol r squared h where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder. Suppose the volume of the can is 100 cubic centimeters.

Write h as a function of r. Keep pie sign in the function’s equation.

What is the measurement of the height if the radius of the cylinder is 2 centimeters? Round your answers to the nearest whole number.

Graph this function.
