Aimee packs ice cream into an ice cream cone. She then puts a perfect hemisphere of ice cream on top of the cone that has a volume of 4 in.^3 The diameter of the ice cream cone is equal to its height. What is the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone? Use the relationship between the formulas for the volumes of cones and spheres to help solve this problem.

Let's denote the diameter and height of the cone as D. Since the cone has a diameter equal to its height, we have D = h.
The volume of the cone can be found using the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the cone. Since the diameter of the cone is D, the radius is half of the diameter, so r = D/2.
The volume of the cone is then V_cone = (1/3)π(D/2)^2h = (1/3)π(D^2/4)h = (π/12)D^2h.
Now, let's consider the perfect hemisphere of ice cream on top of the cone. The volume of a sphere is given by V_sphere = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the sphere. Since the diameter of the sphere is also D, the radius is half of the diameter, so r = D/2.
The volume of the hemisphere is then V_hemisphere = (1/2)(4/3)π(D/2)^3 = (4/6)(π/8)D^3 = (π/12)D^3.
Since the volume of the hemisphere is 4 in.^3, we have (π/12)D^3 = 4. Solving for D, we get D^3 = 48/π and D = (48/π)^(1/3).
Now, we can substitute this value of D into the formulas we derived earlier to find the volume of the cone and the hemisphere.
V_cone = (π/12)D^2h = (π/12)((48/π)^(1/3))^2((48/π)^(1/3)) = (48/π)^(2/3)h.
V_hemisphere = (π/12)D^3 = (π/12)((48/π)^(1/3))^3.
The total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone is the sum of the volumes of the cone and the hemisphere:
V_total = V_cone + V_hemisphere = (48/π)^(2/3)h + (π/12)((48/π)^(1/3))^3.
We have expressed the total volume of ice cream in terms of the height h of the cone.
