S=2pi%2Ar%5E2%2B2pi%2Ar%2Ah Start with the surface area of a cylinder formula.


S=2pi%2A%283%29%5E2%2B2pi%2A%283%29%2A%288%29 Plug in r=3 and h=8.


S=2%283.14159265%29%2A%283%29%5E2%2B2%283.14159265%29%2A%283%29%2A%288%29 Replace pi with 3.14159265 (note: Use more digits of pi to get better accuracy).


S=2%283.14159265%29%2A%289%29%2B2%283.14159265%29%2A%283%29%2A%288%29 Square 3 to get 9.


S=56.5486677%2B150.7964472 Multiply.


S=207.3451149 Add.


So the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 207.3451149 square units.

Answer 358321 by jim_thompson5910(28598) About Me  on 2011-12-23 17:19:50 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since the area of the base is 100 sq in. this means that the side length of the base is s=sqrt%28100%29=10 inches. So the area of each triangular face is A=%2810%2A10%29%2F2+=+100%2F2+=+50 square inches.


So


Surface Area of Pyramid = Area of base + 4*Area of Triangular Face


Surface Area of Pyramid = 100 + 4*50


Surface Area of Pyramid = 100 + 200


Surface Area of Pyramid = 300 square inches

2x%5E2%2B11x%2B8 Start with the given expression.


2%28x%5E2%2B%2811%2F2%29x%2B4%29 Factor out the x%5E2 coefficient 2. This step is very important: the x%5E2 coefficient must be equal to 1.


Take half of the x coefficient 11%2F2 to get 11%2F4. In other words, %281%2F2%29%2811%2F2%29=11%2F4.


Now square 11%2F4 to get 121%2F16. In other words, %2811%2F4%29%5E2=%2811%2F4%29%2811%2F4%29=121%2F16


2%28x%5E2%2B%2811%2F2%29x%2Bhighlight%28121%2F16-121%2F16%29%2B4%29 Now add and subtract 121%2F16 inside the parenthesis. Make sure to place this after the "x" term. Notice how 121%2F16-121%2F16=0. So the expression is not changed.


2%28%28x%5E2%2B%2811%2F2%29x%2B121%2F16%29-121%2F16%2B4%29 Group the first three terms.


2%28%28x%2B11%2F4%29%5E2-121%2F16%2B4%29 Factor x%5E2%2B%2811%2F2%29x%2B121%2F16 to get %28x%2B11%2F4%29%5E2.


2%28%28x%2B11%2F4%29%5E2-57%2F16%29 Combine like terms.


2%28x%2B11%2F4%29%5E2%2B2%28-57%2F16%29 Distribute.


2%28x%2B11%2F4%29%5E2-57%2F8 Multiply.


So after completing the square, 2x%5E2%2B11x%2B8 transforms to 2%28x%2B11%2F4%29%5E2-57%2F8. So 2x%5E2%2B11x%2B8=2%28x%2B11%2F4%29%5E2-57%2F8.


So y=2x%5E2%2B11x%2B8 is equivalent to y=2%28x%2B11%2F4%29%5E2-57%2F8 which is the answer in vertex form.

x%5E2-8x%2B27=0 Start with the given equation.


Notice that the quadratic x%5E2-8x%2B27 is in the form of Ax%5E2%2BBx%2BC where A=1, B=-8, and C=27


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":


x+=+%28-B+%2B-+sqrt%28+B%5E2-4AC+%29%29%2F%282A%29 Start with the quadratic formula


x+=+%28-%28-8%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-8%29%5E2-4%281%29%2827%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Plug in A=1, B=-8, and C=27


x+=+%288+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-8%29%5E2-4%281%29%2827%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Negate -8 to get 8.


x+=+%288+%2B-+sqrt%28+64-4%281%29%2827%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Square -8 to get 64.


x+=+%288+%2B-+sqrt%28+64-108+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Multiply 4%281%29%2827%29 to get 108


x+=+%288+%2B-+sqrt%28+-44+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Subtract 108 from 64 to get -44


x+=+%288+%2B-+sqrt%28+-44+%29%29%2F%282%29 Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.


x+=+%288+%2B-+2i%2Asqrt%2811%29%29%2F%282%29 Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying square roots, check out this solver)


x+=+%288%29%2F%282%29+%2B-+%282i%2Asqrt%2811%29%29%2F%282%29 Break up the fraction.


x+=+4+%2B-+sqrt%2811%29%2Ai Reduce.


x+=+4%2Bsqrt%2811%29%2Ai or x+=+4-sqrt%2811%29%2Ai Break up the expression.


So the solutions are x+=+4%2Bsqrt%2811%29%2Ai or x+=+4-sqrt%2811%29%2Ai

-x%5E2%2B4=2x%5E2-5 Start with the given equation.


-x%5E2%2B4-2x%5E2%2B5=0 Get every term to the left side.


-3x%5E2%2B9=0 Combine like terms.


Notice that the quadratic -3x%5E2%2B9 is in the form of Ax%5E2%2BBx%2BC where A=-3, B=0, and C=9


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":


x+=+%28-B+%2B-+sqrt%28+B%5E2-4AC+%29%29%2F%282A%29 Start with the quadratic formula


x+=+%28-%280%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%280%29%5E2-4%28-3%29%289%29+%29%29%2F%282%28-3%29%29 Plug in A=-3, B=0, and C=9


x+=+%28-0+%2B-+sqrt%28+0-4%28-3%29%289%29+%29%29%2F%282%28-3%29%29 Square 0 to get 0.


x+=+%28-0+%2B-+sqrt%28+0--108+%29%29%2F%282%28-3%29%29 Multiply 4%28-3%29%289%29 to get -108


x+=+%28-0+%2B-+sqrt%28+0%2B108+%29%29%2F%282%28-3%29%29 Rewrite sqrt%280--108%29 as sqrt%280%2B108%29


x+=+%28-0+%2B-+sqrt%28+108+%29%29%2F%282%28-3%29%29 Add 0 to 108 to get 108


x+=+%28-0+%2B-+sqrt%28+108+%29%29%2F%28-6%29 Multiply 2 and -3 to get -6.


x+=+%28-0+%2B-+6%2Asqrt%283%29%29%2F%28-6%29 Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying square roots, check out this solver)


x+=+%28-0%29%2F%28-6%29+%2B-+%286%2Asqrt%283%29%29%2F%28-6%29 Break up the fraction.


x+=+0+%2B-+-1%2Asqrt%283%29 Reduce.


x+=+0-1%2Asqrt%283%29 or x+=+0%2B1%2Asqrt%283%29 Break up the expression.


So the solutions are x+=+-sqrt%283%29 or x+=+sqrt%283%29

First let's find the slope of the line through the points and


Note: is the first point . So this means that x%5B1%5D=2 and y%5B1%5D=5.
Also, is the second point . So this means that x%5B2%5D=7 and y%5B2%5D=-3.


m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%28-3-5%29%2F%287-2%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=-3, y%5B1%5D=5, x%5B2%5D=7, and x%5B1%5D=2


m=%28-8%29%2F%287-2%29 Subtract 5 from -3 to get -8


m=%28-8%29%2F%285%29 Subtract 2 from 7 to get 5


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=-8%2F5


Now let's use the point slope formula:


y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the point slope formula


y-5=%28-8%2F5%29%28x-2%29 Plug in m=-8%2F5, x%5B1%5D=2, and y%5B1%5D=5


y-5=%28-8%2F5%29x%2B%28-8%2F5%29%28-2%29 Distribute


y-5=%28-8%2F5%29x%2B16%2F5 Multiply


y=%28-8%2F5%29x%2B16%2F5%2B5 Add 5 to both sides.


y=%28-8%2F5%29x%2B41%2F5 Combine like terms. note: If you need help with fractions, check out this solver.



So the equation that goes through the points and is y=%28-8%2F5%29x%2B41%2F5

Answer 358213 by jim_thompson5910(28598) About Me  on 2011-12-22 22:34:08 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simply plot two points and draw a line that goes through them to graph the linear equation.


Let's graph y=2x%2B3 as an example


Looking at y=2x%2B3 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=2 and the y-intercept is b=3


Since b=3 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 2, this means:

rise%2Frun=2%2F1


which shows us that the rise is 2 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 2 and over 1



So starting at , go up 2 units


and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=2x%2B3

So this is the graph of y=2x%2B3 through the points and

x%5E2-13x-12=0 Start with the given equation.


Notice that the quadratic x%5E2-13x-12 is in the form of Ax%5E2%2BBx%2BC where A=1, B=-13, and C=-12


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":


x+=+%28-B+%2B-+sqrt%28+B%5E2-4AC+%29%29%2F%282A%29 Start with the quadratic formula


x+=+%28-%28-13%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-13%29%5E2-4%281%29%28-12%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Plug in A=1, B=-13, and C=-12


x+=+%2813+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-13%29%5E2-4%281%29%28-12%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Negate -13 to get 13.


x+=+%2813+%2B-+sqrt%28+169-4%281%29%28-12%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Square -13 to get 169.


x+=+%2813+%2B-+sqrt%28+169--48+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Multiply 4%281%29%28-12%29 to get -48


x+=+%2813+%2B-+sqrt%28+169%2B48+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Rewrite sqrt%28169--48%29 as sqrt%28169%2B48%29


x+=+%2813+%2B-+sqrt%28+217+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Add 169 to 48 to get 217


x+=+%2813+%2B-+sqrt%28+217+%29%29%2F%282%29 Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.


x+=+%2813%2Bsqrt%28217%29%29%2F%282%29 or x+=+%2813-sqrt%28217%29%29%2F%282%29 Break up the expression.


So the solutions are x+=+%2813%2Bsqrt%28217%29%29%2F%282%29 or x+=+%2813-sqrt%28217%29%29%2F%282%29
