Based on the shaded region, the value of x which makes this region a gnomon is x = 1.

<h3>What is value of x?</h3>

Based on the dimensions of the side that isn't shaded, and the dimensions of the side that is shaded, the value of x can be found as:

3/ 6 = (1 + 3) / (x + 6 + x)

1/2 = 4 / (6 + 2x)

6 + 2x = 4 / (1/2)

2x = 8 - 6

x = 2/2

x = 1

Hunter-Best [27]

What you need to look for is $\frac { dr }{ dt }$ when r=8.

Now:

$Volume\quad of\quad a\quad sphere:\\ \\ V=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 }$

$\therefore \quad \frac { dV }{ dr } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi \cdot 3{ r }^{ 2 }=4\pi { r }^{ 2 }\\ \\ \therefore \quad \frac { dr }{ dV } =\frac { 1 }{ \frac { dV }{ dr } } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { r }^{ 2 } }$

$And:\\ \\ \frac { dV }{ dt } =-\frac { 256\pi }{ 3 } \\ \\ Therefore:\\ \\ \frac { dr }{ dt } =\frac { dr }{ dV } \cdot \frac { dV }{ dt }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { r }^{ 2 } } \cdot -\frac { 256\pi }{ 3 } \\ \\ =-\frac { 256 }{ 12 } \cdot \frac { \pi }{ \pi } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ { r }^{ 2 } }$

$\\ \\ =-\frac { 64 }{ 3{ r }^{ 2 } } \\ \\ When\quad r=8,\\ \\ \frac { dr }{ dt } =-\frac { 64 }{ 3\cdot { 8 }^{ 2 } } =-\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ Answer:\quad -\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \quad cm/sec$

The total monthly profit for a firm is P(x)=6400x−18x^2− (1/3)x^3−40000 dollars, where x is the number of units sold. A maximum

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Maximum profits are earned when x = 64 that is when 64 units are sold.

Maximum Profit = P(64) = 2,08,490.666667$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information: $P(x) = 6400x - 18x^2 - \frac{x^3}{3} - 40000$ , where P(x) is the profit function.
