I assume the answer would be in degrees/time period or radians/time period or revolutions per time period.
You need to give me a full question to be more specific.

Do you mean 9. 7root2, and root8?

You have to simplify root 8
root 8 = root (4*2) = root4 * root2 = 2root2

7root2+ 2root2 + 9 = 9root2 + 9 cm or 9(root2+1) cm

Even functions are when f(-x)=f(x) They are symmetrical about the y axis

Odd functions are when f(-x)=-f(x) The have point symmetry about the origin. This means that if f(-x) is rotated 180 degrees about (0,0) it becomes the f(x)

lets look at your one

f(x) = (x)^4 - 20* (x)^2
f(-x) = (-x)^4 - 20* (-x)^2
f(-x) = (x)^4 - 20* (x)^2 since (-x)^2 = x^2 and (-x)^4 = x^4
f(-x) = f(x)
So it is an even function

The area of a circle is pi*(r squared)
The volume of a cylinder is pi*(r squared)*(perpendicular height)
The volume of a cone is (1/3)* pi*(r squared)*(perpendicular height)

I did it like this because a cone is just a circular pyramid and the volume of any pyramid is 1/3 of its prism partner. (a cylinder is a circular prism)
So radius=2, height=6.5 inch
volume = 1/3 * pi * 2squared * 6.5
volume = 1/3 * pi * 4 * 6.5
volume = 27.23 inches squared. (correct to 2 decimal places)

What nationality are you?
I am Australian and I have never worked in inches before. Don't worry, the maths is the same.

Thanks but I know what 5! is.
5.5! is included as one of the standard functions on this site as shown in my attachment and it works on this site's calculator, but, I have never seen it before and it does not work on my standard CASIO calculator. I was hoping that a site manager (or someone else) could explain it to me.

Do you want it written in degrees (as a decimal answer)? That's the only thing that I can think of.

If you use a scientific calc you can just enter 17 (degrees button) 41 (degrees button) 49 (degrees button) = (inv) ( degrees button )

The answer is 17.6969444444..... degrees
