John needs to write 2,146 online math questions in 45 weeks. John is estimating how many questions he should write each week to meet the deadline. Which compatible numbers provide a better estimate for the number of question he should write each week, 2,000 ÷ 50 or 2,000 ÷ 40? Why?

2,000 ÷ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that John needs to write 2,146 online math questions in 45 weeks and that he is estimating how many questions he should write each week to meet the deadline.

The compatible numbers that provide a better estimate for the number of question he should write each week, is 2,000 ÷ 50. This is because rounding up of 2146 to the nearest thousand gives 2000. The number beside the thousand place is 2 and sinces it's not up to 5, the number becomes 2000. Likewise 45 to the nearest ten gives 50 since the number beside the ten is 5, therefore 1 will be added to 4 which becomes 5 and the number in the unit place is changed to 0, this makes the number become 50.

Therefore, the answer is 2000 ÷ 50.

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
