that makes sense now
you pulled out the 48 in such a way that k is left
and from there u use the summation rules
so for the one next to 48/n
its a n*k
wait no
its n * some variable so we use the formula n(n+1)/2 right
so then do we just swap k for n?
cause the correct answer has no k in it
i got this from my profs sollutions
and he completely gets rid of k
i think youre fixating too much on the n outside the sum and its confusing you, its just a number
just think of it as a constant you pulled out
because the general formulae are in terms of n, i agree with what you said here to a degree, it would just then be 48/n * n(n+1)/2 which is what you see in the answer
ah ok makes sense
i think maybe if they used a different variable it woulda been a bit more clearer
but that explains alot thanks!

Just follow the given steps
For the first problem, the first step says, "write the proportion", did you write out the proportion?

Am tutoring someone and was asked to help for this. Just to check that I am not missing anything. You have to leave the answer in terms of either the initial radius,r(0) or volume v(0) right? Not possible to find an exact solution
You need to set up a differential
So what I did was, let V be volume of sphere, S be surface area of sphere
dV/dt=4πr^2(dr/dt)
dS/dt=8πr(dr/dt)
I don't see any way of continuing this without an initial value of r
you're gonna need to leave the answer in terms of r yes

Answer for 46, how did we get it?
x^3 - 3x^2 - 7x + 21 =
x^2 (x - 3) - 7 (x - 3) =
(x^2 - 7)(x - 3) =
(x - sqrt(7))(x + sqrt(7))(x - 3)
and then just substitute
Substitute what?
the zeroes found by factorization
Also any idea how 48 is done?
Correct option is a) 1/2^128
What? Sorry I don’t understand
(sqrt(x))^(1/16) = 1/16
How we get that sqrt x is power to 1/16
Since it is a infinite series of power
well, you just raise sqrt(x) to the power of the whole left side, which is equal to 1/16
Why?
because sqrt(x) ^ (sqrt(x) ^ (sqrt(x) ^ ...)) is the same as sqrt(x) ^ (sqrt(x) ^ ...)
yea like basically we replace that
you can't actually always use this technique, sometimes the thing might not converge at all, but since you are expected to choose one of the answers, we don't need to think about it too much
anyways to prove it
?
Aren’t those two things the same so where does 1/16 come?
yes they are, and they both equal 1/16
but then you can also rewrite the first as sqrt(x) ^ (1/16)
because the second one is 1/16
and so is the first one, thus sqrt(x) ^ (1/16) = 1/16
How is the second one 1/16
because the first one is
and they are equal
it's just what's stated in the problem
So shouldn’t it be 1/16^1/16……
no
Like if you would have to write an explanation for this in the exam how would you frame it so that the professor understands how you concluded that?
You say that sqrt(x)= 1/16?
let's denote the whole thing as y, so y = sqrt(x) ^ (sqrt(x) ^ (sqrt(x) ^ ...)) = 1/16
note that y = sqrt(x) ^ y
and since y = 1/16, 1/16 = sqrt(x) ^ (1/16)
Okay so we get sqrt(x)^y = 1/16
Okay so how did we assume that the 1/16=y. I understand that sqrt(x)^y = 1/16 how do we find y from this?
just by definition, here
we defined y as the left-hand side of the equation
obviously it equals to the right-hand side as well
Okay I got it so we get sqrt(x)^1/16 = 1/16 how do we solve for x from here?
We get x^1/32 = 1/16
yes, then just raise both sides to the power of 32
to eliminate the ^(1/32) part

How would I solve this using integrals?
An object moves in a straight line for 5 seconds
I need to get s(t) so distance traveled in function of time, from 0s to 5s
And i know a(t) = t+1
I know a few formulas like s(t) = int(v(t) * dt))
But not sure how to get the a(t) to v(t)
Would i use v(t)= v0 + a*t ?
Uh no clue, my question doesn't say that so I'll guess it's all the time yeah
Can I see the question?
It's in a different language sadly
What's the context? Physics class? For fun? Held at gunpoint and asked to solve questions?
Calculus - studying for a test in a few days
Ok, was there a chapter on kinematics?
And my book only lists answers not method of getting there
Usually there's a short blurb
Yeah
Did it talk about how acceleration being the derivative of velocity?
and velocity being the derivative of position?
It was written in such a complicated way but i do remember that vaguely yeah
Oh yeah true
, $v(t)=v_0+a*
huh, I don't know how to use the latex bot
So if acceleration is the derivative of velocity, and you know a function for acceleration, how can you find the velocity?
Hint: you mentioned it in your opening message
Integration?
Yep
So I integrate my acceleration formula?
Yes, and that will get you what?
(x^3 / 3) + x + c
Maybe, but before you do the integral, you have to know what it means
Let's summarize the given information: An object moves in a straight line for 5 seconds
I need to get s(t) so distance traveled in function of time, from 0s to 5s
And i know a(t) = t+1
We want s(t)
We have a(t)
We know the object moves for 5 seconds
before you do any computation, have a plan to get what you want from what you have
I'd say integrate it to get v(t) and then integrate it again to get to s(t)
So that'd be (t^2+1 / 2+1) + x
alll
Yeah sorry meant t
Do you want me to check your corrected answer?
Sure
What i have rn is
$(s(t)=\int_{0}^{5} ( ((t^3)/3) + t * dt)$
JoJoCa
Well that could've gone better
Mhmm, did you evaluate part of the integral already but leave it in the integrand?
Is evaluating filling in the 0 and 5?
It's "doing" the integral
Oh yeah I got the result from evaluating a(t), which would be v(t) and filled that in in s(t) formula
Ok, there's been a mistake in the integration of a(t), if a(t) = t+1
s(t) should be cubic, v(t) should be quadratic, and a(t) is linear
Yes
If you know that v(t=0)=0
That has to be given in the problem
If not, you can add a constant of integration and give a general answer
It only says that s(0) = 0 so I'll assume v is also 0, since the exercises seem to go for a specific answer
So from there I'll evaluate s(t) and then I'm basically there, just filling in 0 and 5 and getting the difference
Yes
Although I suspect that whoever wrote this question has made a mistake
With two integrations, you get two constants of integration, or degrees of freedom
That's possible, it's a pretty bad book tbh, so convoluted and not clear
Thanks a ton for the help, that made it more clear than my book ever could

what is a connected planar figure
and how can you turn this into a function:
"Number of distinct connected planar figures that can be formed from n 1 X 2 rectangles"
A planar connected graph is a graph which is both planar and connected. The numbers of planar connected graphs with n=1, 2, ... nodes are 1, 1, 2, 6, 20, 99, 646, 5974, 71885, ... (OEIS A003094; Steinbach 1990, p. 131). A subset of planar 3-connected graphs are called polyhedral graphs. The following table gives the numbers of planar connected g...
this what you are talking about?
connected just because all the points are connected one way or another or because the edges are connected?

stuck for case 2
can i get a hint
Then:
0<= a² - 2ab + b²
4ab <= a² + 2ab + b²
4ab <= (a+b)²
4ab/(a+b)² <= 1
4(ab)²/(a+b)² <= ab
4(ab)²/(a²+2ab+b²) <= ab
4/(a² + 2/(ab) + b²) <= ab
4/(1/a + 1/b)² <= ab
2/(1/a + 1/b) <= sqrt(ab)
I should add that if a, b > 0 in the beginning
but ye there
I was just being an idiot

Do you know how to express that with an equation(s)?
thats what im having trouble with
take it a step at a time
can you show what you haved tried so far?
no idea
well, if L is an amount of years
and P+5 is an amount of years
after 10 more years, what does that equation look like
add 10 to both?
mhm
so 10+l. and p+5+10, p+15?
write it out completely
L+10 = P+15
im gonna be honest, i have no idea
Solve L=P+5 for P by itself
yeh
and in ten years, the equation looks like L+10 = P+15
now
L+10, should be equal to double pats present age
right?
sorry, I have been taking you down a slightly bad path. Let me rethink how we should do this for a second
oh ok
I'll give you better instructions in just a minute
Okay
We have two bits of info here
Leo is 5 years older than Pat's present age
in 10 years, Leo will be twice Pat's present age
So, like you said earlier we model the first one as
L=P+5
How can we model the second one?
L = Leo's present age, P=Pat's present age
l=2p?
no
or is leo's present age, plus 10 years, equal to double pat's present age
this one
so write it out like that instead
10+L=2P?
Yes
okay so now you have two equations
L=P+5
and L+10=2P
now you can solve for their present ages
so subsitution?
oh fair enough
(and then substitute once you solve for P doing that)
Sorry I misled you a bit, I got a little wrapped up in the wording and trying to explain it simply, but it is simpler than it even looked lol!
Yeah no problem
have a good day
you too!

hi
does anyone know
why
52 (mod 53) = -1
actually im doin rabin miller test for number 53 to check it is prime or not
52 = 53 - 1
so if any one know
52 modulo 53 is -1 how is that possible
i read some comments on the yt video they said it is something realted to addtive inverse
after that?
Hence 52 = -1 mod 53
Look at the definition of modulo
What is definition of mod
ya i know that
a = b mod n iff n | b - a
53 | 52 - (-1)
It causes no problem whatsoever
Things being -1 mod n can prove pretty useful depending on what you're doing
But since 52 in [0, 53[, the principal value would be 52 mod 53
But it's totally correct to say it's -1 mod 53
52^100 mod 53 is way easier to do as (-1)^100 mod 53
For example

consider splitting the squares into a 3 by 3 grid
i thought it was simpler than that
2 3 2 3, horizontal vertical horizontal vertical
leaves only one answer
i did but it doesnt fit for the next term
i already did that. cant think further
what did you think the pattern was
in reference to
i did but it doesnt fit for the next term
the alternate boxes. place the sticks opposite and then shift them right by 1
wdym by shift them right by 1
if we make a 3x3 grid
how is that even applying from
box 1 → box 2
then the two sticks get shifted right if we change our perspective
same with fig 2 and fig 4
not sure what you mean, can you draw out you mean
yes give me a min
1)Shift by 1 to the right box
2) Place them in the opposite box
i drew it wrong sorry
that looks like you're considering two separate sequences
1 → 3
and 2 → 4
instead of
1 → 2 → 3 → 4
you could speculate something that happens between them, but with this few images, isn't enough to deduce what should come next doingthat
this is presented as a single sequence
that's what you're doing
yes there are possibilites
yeah sorry i misinterpreted your above message
describe what you observe happening between box 1 and box 2
three aspects to focus on:
number of sticks
horizontal or vertical sticks
movement / location
the number of sticks is alternating between 2 and 3
horz vert horz vert
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
if I number the boxes like these
then the movement is like
4 → 7
7 → 9
9 → 2
draw arrows going from boxes
1→2→3→4
and see you if you observe a pattern on how much the sticks are moving
👏
the number of sticks should be 2
movement is anti clockwise
Thank you all for your help
I have another question
can I ask it here?
yeah
had an exam today
I did prove this but not sure if it is correct or not
I got that there will atleast be 6 perfect cubes among the 51 numbers
and at max there can be 10
Can someone confirm please
how did you get that
there are 5 primes uptil 11
we can make a number n by using either 1, 2 or 3 distinct factors
tushar
yes
did the same
in case 1 I chose 1 out of the 5 factors and got 5
the power will range from 0 to 2022
so 5 n in case 1
in case 2, there will be 10 ways of choosing
and the number of factors of such a number is $(a_1+1)(a_2+1)(a_3+1)(a_4+1)(a_5+1)$
tushar
i did figure that out during the exam
so you want to show that if you have 51 distinct tuples $(a_1,a_2,a_4,a_4,a_5)$ that satisfy $$(a_1+1)(a_2+1)(a_3+1)(a_4+1)(a_5+1) = 2023,$$ then some tuple in the list has all $a_i$ divisible by 3
so in case two the powers can range from either (0 to 6 and 0 to 289) or *0 to 16 and 0 to 118)
tushar

Help pls: 0 =<a1 =<a2=<……=<an=<1 Prove: a1 + a2^2 + …… + an^n >= na1a2….an
Maybe some AM-GM stuff
I think not
not convinced because of the varying powers. Got no clue though. Maybe Jensen on a very specific function, but I don't really believe in it either. Cauchy schwarz is maybe a possibility, not sure either
Mb induction
But I don't understand how to make a transition to this inequality.
It works well for n = 1
Yes, it's a base
Take the ineq. for a fixed n, add (a_n+1)^(n+1) to the previous ineq
use the fact an+1 >= every other ak
So (an+1)^(n+1) >= a1 a2 ... an+1
Also use the fact an+1 <= 1
Then you can say it's greater than the desired product
That’s not correct
0 =< a1 =< a2 =< …. =<an =< 1
Yes but when you choose an+1
It has to verify this property too
But for n+1 values
Otherwise it doesn't fall under the hypotheses
I didn't understand
Start writing the proof. You should understand when you state what a1, ..., an+1 must verify

^So
I got an not mathematical question directly
Its more like in opinion question
On how you study math the best way
Like ive been trying to study like math in diffrent ways
But i just not seem to improve
Like school math?
Yea
Like
Ive been practicing
Doing the theory
Trying to really understand the algorithm behind certain things
But when i got exams its like it doesnt even matter what ive done
I don't know the best way but I can tell you the way I study math
what are your problems during the exams
Consistently writting notes, maintaining notes, revising notes, asking and practicing questions
Like the level of complexicity
Like when i do like practice i always do like the things that are in book
But then when exams coming
Its like holy god
well then get different practice questions?
Like more difficult ones?
Like rn i got rotationbodys
Idk how you call it in englisch
Like when you have a function and you rotate it around x or y axis
and then you can calculate the volume or whatever you want
if you are struggling because the questions on the exam are harder than the one you practice with, then yes get harder questions to practice with

0=-16t^2+32t+2
How do you solve with every method? (Quadratic formula, factoring, completing the square. Also sorry if my english is bad, it wasnt my first launguge)
I hate when the quadratic has first term negative, multiply by -1 please
Yes
0=16t^2-32t-2
Perfect a=16, b=-32, c=-2, x = (-b +- √(b²-4ac))/2a
16t²-32t-2=0
for completing the square, make the first term a perfect square, which it is (4t)²
hence it can be written as (4t)²-2(4t)(4) + 4² - 4² -2 (add and subtract four squared)
This equals (4t-4)²-18=0
Yes you can
(you can divide by 2)
oh
wait about like actual factoring like x^2+2x+1=(x+1)(x+1)
can you not do that with 0=-16t^2+32t+2
You can, you would have to factor out -ve sign and then factorise what's left within the brackets
f(x) = -16x²+32x+2
= -(16x²-32x-2) and factor the brackets
Wait does it have irrational solutions? Then we would have to factor out the other way
i think it does
Oh okay then find the roots using quadratic formula, say they're p and q
then a polynomial ax²+bx+c with roots p and q can be factorised as a(x-p)(x-q)
Yea, then the factorisation is -16(x-p)(x-q)
i see thx

welcome back :D
i have two questions
Thhis one looks awful
do i send the second
Sure
it is
I dont think i can figure this one out
Looks like you started a new section with sequences
This is like Cicada 3301 but bad
okay do i send the third maybe its easy
Sure
Beetle 2201 
(actually a
moment but we can pretend)
I was better at this last night lol
I feel like this is the type of question where if someone were to ask me "Why do you even bother with these?" I'd jokingly reply "I'm in it for the money." to hide the fact that I'm just a nerd
There are good questions, and then theres this book
this type of question will get me into university
So you are in it for the money, in a sense...
Ive got nothing
thats okay
The fact that this book doesn't explain why the answers are what they are tells me this is an awful prep book
all books like this
i mean the books we have
"We"?
I hope you're spending a lot of time in the actual math section of your study too
You never ask actual math questions, so I'm assuming you know those 100% perfect
for us this is the actual math questions
i hate it too
but i have nothing to do
The test is 30 maths and geometry questions and 50 "general ability" questions
I love how geometry is separate like it isnt math
that's kinda right
every university has like different count of questions
yes but not that much
Oh ok
i can take how many i want
and chose the highest number
Oh so its like the SAT kinda
it is we have sat too
But with worse problems
Does it have to be turkey?
I have a friend from turkey. I'll ask him about this
bout the question?
this exam just for the people who came from out side the turkey
What's the name of the entrance test again?
My friend wasn't helpful, sorry

When does infinity / infinity equals 0 in limits?
When denominator grows faster
something like $\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x}{e^x}$? where both top and bottom tend to infinity but the limit evals to 0?
sorry
XxMrFancyu2xX
I missread
Yeah
I corrected it
Oh so thats how
Cus i just knew infinity / infinity was undetermined so this fucked with my head when i saw it in class
indeterminate* 🤓
It's like that when you don't know with your eyes who grows faster
ahaha mb
but if u have something like x/x^2 you know x^2 grows faster
Yeah for sure
Is there somewhere on the web where i can see which things grow faster
like a log compared to exponentials
and so on
Big O notation is a mathematical notation that describes the limiting behavior of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity. Big O is a member of a family of notations invented by Paul Bachmann, Edmund Landau, and others, collectively called Bachmann–Landau notation or asymptotic notation. The letter O was chosen...
This is actually the little o notation
log_a(x) are the slowers
Thank u!
If lim f(x)/g(x) = 0 then we say that f(x)= o(g(x))
logatirmic, radicals, powers, exponential
factorials 👀
😄
What about something like e^x compared to radical of x
fun challenge prove x! grows faster than any b^x
wdym?
exponentials ALWAYS grow faster than any polynomial
Oh okay
for sufficiently large x
yes
makes much more sense now im just getting the hang of limits rn
Ooo this is great
gonna print it on my wall when i do hw
thanks!!

idk what this even means
wdym
do you know what line/point symmetry is?
no
line symmetry: there is a line such that each point on one side of the line can be matched to point at the same place on the other side of the line
point simmetry, same but the mirroring has to pass through a point
so if there cut in half up and down there the same and if the cut diagonally there the same?
no
the line can be any line
and for point symmetry
the thing is that there is a point (C in that case)
such that for each point on the figure
if you draw a line from the point through C
and continue it for the same distance
theres another point
at the end
look on the right
start from A
draw a line through C
then continue for the same distance
A' is there
for exemple a circle has point symmetry
with the point being its center
ok
and line symmetry,
for any point A
draw a perpendicular line to the line of symmetry
continue for the same distance
A' is there

@unique valley Has your question been resolved?
That's not cosh, that's cosine
But also you didn't do change of variables correctly
Your answer should depend on the sign of a
To put your integral in this form, you need to do aw+b = a(w+b/a) and x = a(w+b/a). So when you calculate dx, you may pick up a minus sign
@unique valley Has your question been resolved?
I don’t understand the need for this? How is it not in the correct form.
Why is a change of variable necessary?
In my attempt I did not do any change of variables, I don’t understand why it’s necessary?
Because the formula you're referring to use isn't in the form of your problem
There's no constant being multiplied by x here
I see I’ve made an assumption of how the delta function works thanks for the help

does someone know how I would solve this problem
Put the conic section into Graphing Form: y^2+14y−2x+59=0
What is graphing form?
I think like standard form
I am used to completing the square for both variables but x isnt squared so I dont know how I would do this
I think this would be a parabola instead of a conic section then
Ok but how would I solve for it, I thought quadratic equation only had 1 variable.

If i drink a beer with 4% alcohol, do i get drunk slower than if i were to drink a beer with 4% alcohol but bigger?
i mean the whole purpose of stating alcohol content as a percentage by volume is that you ingest it at the SAME rate whether you drink it from small bottles or straight from the barrel...
So if i drink more it doesn't mean more alcohol?
If i drink 1 beer with 4% and another guy drinks 3 beers with 4%, he doesn't get more drunk than me?
Ok and
So a 4% ABV beer is 0.48 oz of pure alcohol
And 3 of them would be 1.44 oz of pure alcohol
Depends whether you drink the same volume of beer at the same rate in both cases
If its a bigger beer then the volume is different
Yes, but do you drink the same volume at the same rate despite that?
Yeah but it takes longer to drink a bigger beer
Since the percentages of alcohol are the same you can just ignore the size of the bottle and focus on how much you drink in a day
I guess it takes longer...
ew american units
Okay so would you say that you drink at the same rate regardless of the size of the bottle?
how much is 12 oz in real units again?
an ounce is like 30 ml right
so 360 ml ...?
,w 12 oz to ml
i guess that's the american equivalent of a 0.33 can
@upbeat swan That's all we need to know
Idk
You tell me
Im talking about real life
So it takes longer to drink a bigger beer ig
I tell you at which rate you drink beer depending on the size of your beer?
I guess if you look at a single can yes but wouldn't you still drink just as frequently over a day?
Or would you adjust to the bigger beer size by drinking it less frequently?
Does it matter
Yes, obviously how much beer you drink affects how drunk you get
You drink i bigger beer in the same time you drink a small one
You're talking about me? I don't drink beer
Look if you drink the whole thing no matter which size you pick then the bigger one makes you drunk faster
English be like
The situation
Beer is American
Germans reading this:
look what you made me do @still charm
what you said was so cringe i was compelled to spend a super react on you
@upbeat swan Does that answer your question?
If so, you can close this channel by typing .close
Try a Yuengling sometime it's pretty good
If i drink a 600 ml beer with 3%, it's not the same as 3 200ml beers with 3%?
Bless you
Do you drink as much beer in a day when you buy a 3200ml beer?
I dont understand
You drink it at the same rate
I mean it takes the same time
To drink a small and a big one
Wait really?
@upbeat swan Okay so like, consider a scenario where you have a habit of buying 600ml beer and one where you have a habit of buying 3200ml beer
And in both scenarios you measure how much beer you drink by volume on average every day over a long period
Do you think the result would be different in the 2 scenarios?
If it doesnt take the same time to drink the 2 beers, then the result wouldn't be different
Am I overthinking this hold up my brain just rebooted
This is a basic question why am I having a stroke over it
That's not the case
A 3200ml beer with 4% is just a 600ml beer with 4% but bigger
It's just as concentrated as the small one
A bigger beer contains more alcohol?
Well yeah because it's bigger
That's not what Ann said
If the alcohol percentage is the same then the amount of alcohol is proportional to the beer size
The size of the cans themselves doesn't matter at all, just how much you drink in a sitting
Hence the concentration doesn't change
Yes yes exactly what I was thinking (although I focused on how much you drink in a day which is different and I'm now realising that's not what matters)
So if i drink 200ml out of a 400ml beer bottle with 4%, it's the same ammount of alcohol as it was if i were to only drink a 200ml in the same ammount of time
Seems to me like she said exactly what we're saying
Same rate, same concentration
Yes
Assuming the 200ml bottle also has a 4% concentration
If a 400ml beer has 4% and i drink 200ml, do i get 4% out of the 200?
Yep, 4% of 200ml is what you get
But which gets me drunk quicker
Just like what Gamer said, it depends how much you drink in a sitting in both scenarios
I drink a 400 and a 200 with 4% each in the same time in one sitting
Which gets me drunk faster
The 400ml one because you drank more alcohol
More alcohol in one sitting and same concentration => More drunk
Ok thanks

Can someone please explain why t+2 was subbed into the rp1
Exactly the red circled text
2 seconds after they are launched
You want to find their collision point
Actually good question
What happens when you subtract from the input variable?
The graph
What do you mean?
Towards the right by h units
Right
So since it's x+2 or in this case t+2 the graph moves right by -2 units which means it moves left
Which gives you that the graph of the first vector is projected 2 sec before p2
Its a lil counterintuitive but you can try graphing on desmos to see for yourself
Ohhhh okay
So basically the whole purpose of substituting t+2 is so they ‘start’ at the same time
And then the collision point can be found by equating x of p1 and p2
Not exactly, it's to account for that they don't start at the same time
Yeah moving the graph so it accounts for it

Just got a math test tomorrow on linear equations.
Just not sure on how to simplify this and find the value of x
subtract a number on both sides
such that the variable (here x) is left in either LHS or RHS only
would we always take the x as the variable and keep the 7 there as the coefficient?
Yes
Variable is a term which can change its value
7 can not change its value (i.e. it can not equal to 8)
but x can
ok so the next step would be like 7x - x = x + 30 - x?
so the answer would now be 6x = 30 and then would we divide both sides by 6?
Yes
so x = 5?
We want only the variable to remain in either of LHS or RHS
Correct

hey ik its an easy q but i nee dto find the volume and i keep getting it wrong
this is what im doing:
(0.4x1.2) / 2 times 0.2 times by four (to geth all four triangular prism volumes = 0.192
for the rectangular prism: 1.6x0.4x1.2=0.768
now to subtract the cylinder part: 0.4^2 x pi x 0.4 divided by two= 0.1005
0.192+0.768= 0.96
0.96-0.1005= 0.86
and thats wrong so im not sure
you sure 0.8 is the diameter of the circle and not radius?
i tried it both ways but i still didnt get the right answer
You have the answer with you?
the correct answer is 0.94
Volume of this dent is equal to area of semicircle* thickness
