Math Problem Statement

Solution

Let's go through the problems from the image you uploaded.

Part B: Height of a cone

You are asked to find the height hh of a cone with a volume V=32πcm3V = 32\pi \, \text{cm}^3 and a radius r=4cmr = 4 \, \text{cm}.

The formula for the volume VV of a cone is:

V=13πr2hV = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

Given the volume 32π32\pi and radius 4cm4 \, \text{cm}, plug these values into the formula:

32π=13π(4)2h32\pi = \frac{1}{3} \pi (4)^2 h

Now, solve for hh:

  1. First, cancel out π\pi from both sides:

32=13(16)h32 = \frac{1}{3} (16) h

  1. Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

96=16h96 = 16h

  1. Divide both sides by 16:

h=9616=6cmh = \frac{96}{16} = 6 \, \text{cm}

So, the height of the cone is 6cm6 \, \text{cm}.


Part 10: Solving the inequality

You are given the inequality:

4(x+3)7x+3(x+1)4(x + 3) - 7 \geq x + 3(x + 1)

Let's simplify and solve step-by-step:

  1. Expand both sides:

4x+127x+3x+34x + 12 - 7 \geq x + 3x + 3

This simplifies to:

4x+54x+34x + 5 \geq 4x + 3

  1. Subtract 4x4x from both sides:

535 \geq 3

Since this is always true, the inequality holds for all real numbers.

Thus, the solution is all real numbers.
