A new online music service has a collection of 1,500 songs. It expects to triple the number of songs each year for the next few years. Write an equation representing the relationship, where \small x is time in years, and \small y is the number of songs available.

y = (3^(x-1))*1500

Step-by-step explanation:

We want the relationship

y = f(x)

where y is the number of songs, and x is the number of years.

We know that in the first year, x = 1, the site has 1,500 songs.

The next year, x = 2, the number of songs is tripled, then we will have:

1,500*3 = 4500 songs.

The next year, x = 3, we will have: 3*(3*1500) = (3^2)*1500.

when x = 4, the number is tripled again:

3*(3^2)*1500 = (3^3)*1500

We already can see the pattern, for the year x, the site will have:

y = (3^(x-1))*1500 songs.

This is the equation we are looking for.

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.
