8. If a right circular cone must have a volume of 12 cubic meters, then a function that gives the possible radii as a function of the height is:

r=12/pi*h
r=+-(sqrt(36/pi*h))
***r=(sqrt(36/pi*h))
h=(sqrt(36/pi*r^2))
r=36/(pi*h)

4 answers

#1 ok

#2 III only
for y to be a function of x, each x must map to only one y.

#3 ok

#4 (f/g)(x)
f has domain [-3,3]
g has domain x≠1/3

#5 all of the above
f(|-x|) = f(|x|)

#6 Hmmm. I get 3(x+1)/x = 3/x + 3
That's your choice without the parentheses

#7 +4

#8 ok
Thank you!! Unfortunately I couldn't wait for your response, but I went over my answers before checking to see if they were right, and I got them all right! Thank you so much for your help! It means the world to me, and will count on you if I need help on more topics in Calculus. :)
Hey Samantha, were his answers right or were yours?
his answers are right
