#104. Consecutive integers. Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of their squares is 77.
#108. Racquetball. The volume of rubber (in cubic centimeters) in a hollow rubber ball used in racquetball is given by:
V = 4/3 π R3 - 4/3 π r3,
Where the inside radius is r centimeters and the outside radius is R centimeters.
a) Rewrite the formula by factoring the right-hand side completely.
b) The accompanying graph (below) shows the relationship between r and V when R = 3. Use the graph to estimate the value of r for which V = 100 cm3.
