The base of the triangle is decreasing at a rate of 3.60 centimeters/minute.

According to the statement

we have to find that the rate at which the base of triangle changing.

So, For this purpose,

Area of triangle: A = (1/2)(b * h)

Related Rates - Derivative with respect to time:

(d/dt)[A = (1/2)(b * h)]

Then

dA/dt = (1/2)[b * dh/dt + h * db/dt]

Given: h = 11 centimeters, A = 91 square centimeters, b = ??

A = (1/2)(b * h)

Then it becomes

b = 2A/h

substitute the value then

b = 2(91)/11

b = 16.54 centimeters

Then

h = 11 centimeters, b = 16.54 centimeters, dA/dt = 5 square centimeters/minute, dh/dt = 3 centimeters/minute, db/dt = ?? centimeters/minute

So,

(d/dt)[A = (1/2)(b * h)]

Then it become

dA/dt = (1/2)[b * dh/dt + h * db/dt]

5= (1/2)[16.54 * 3 + 11 * db/dt]

5= 49.62/2 + 11/2 * db/dt

11/2 * db/dt = 5- 49.62/2

5.5*db/dt = 5 - 24.81

db/dt = -19.81/5.5

db/dt = -3.60 centimeters/minute

So, The base of the triangle is decreasing at a rate of 3.60 centimeters/minute.

Outside temperature over a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the temperature is 45 degrees at midnig
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

D = 9sin(2π(t + a)/24) + 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the average temperature;

(54 + 36)/2 = 45°

Amplitude = 54 - 45 = 9

From the wave equation, we can write the temperature as;

D = 9sin(2π(t + a)/24) + 45

Where;

D is the temperature

t is the time in hours after midnight

a is a "phase" that is used to set the time at which temperature(D) occurs
