Volume of frustum and hemisphere


The volume of a frustum of a cone of height h is given by the 
V= 1/3*pi*h (R^2 +Rr +r^2),
Where R and r are the radii of its circular ends.
Hollow metal hemispheres of internal and external diameters 12.5cm and 17.5cm, respectively, are to be cast from the molten contents of a ladle in the shape of a frustum of a cone of depth 1.2 metres and radii of ends 0.6m and 0.675m. Calculate the number of hemispheres that can be cast.

Solving Simultaneous equation using matrix method

Solving Simultaneous equation  using matrix  Method Question: Find the values of  x and y in the equations below 3 x + 2 y = 6 5 x − y = 8 Using matrix method Put the equations in standard form and then use matrices to solve the system of equations. 3 x + 2 y = 6 , 5 x − y = 8 Write the equations in matrix form ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ( x y ​ ) = ( 6 8 ​ ) Left multiply the equation by the inverse matrix of  ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) . i n v e r s e ( ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ) ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ( x y ​ ) = i n v e r s e ( ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ) ( 6 8 ​ ) The product of a matrix and its inverse is the identity matrix ( 1 0 ​ 0 1 ​ ) ( x y ​ ) = i n v e r s e ( ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ) ( 6 8 ​ ) Multiply the matrices on the left hand side of the equal sign. ( x y ​ ) = i n v e r s e ( ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ) ( 6 8 ​ ) For the  2 × 2  matrix  ( a c ​ b d ​ ) , the inverse matrix is  ( a d − b c d ​ a d − b c − c ​ ​ a d − b c − b ​ a d − b c a ​ ​ ) , so the matrix equation can be ...

How to calculate the common difference when the first term and the nth term is know.  Question: The 28th term of an AP is -5. Find the common difference if its first term is 31. Solution T1 = a ( First term of the sequence) a = 31 T28 = -5 (28th term of the sequence) d = ? (common difference) Recall the nth term formula of Ap i.e  Tn = a + (n-1)d        Substitute 28 for n to get the following equation        T28 = a + (28-1)d          T28     = a + 27d        Substitute T28 for -5 and 31 for a  in the equation above               -5     = 31 + 27d          Subtract 31 from both sides of the equation         -5 -31 = 27d          -36 = 27d        Divide through by 27        -36/27  =  27d/27 ...
