This is a "water tank" calculus problem that I've been working on and I would really appreciate it if someone could look at my w

ork and tell me if I did it properly! Thank you.

Part A

Everything looks good but line 4. You need to put all of the "2h" in parenthesis so the teacher will know you are squaring all of 2h. As you have it right now, you are saying "only square the h, not the 2". Be careful as silly mistakes like this will often cost you points. 

============================================================

Part B

It looks like you have the right answer. Though you'll need to use parenthesis to ensure that all of "75t/(2pi)" is under the cube root. I'm assuming you made a typo or forgot to put the parenthesis. 

dh/dt = (25)/(2pi*h^2)
2pi*h^2*dh = 25*dt
int[ 2pi*h^2*dh ] = int[ 25*dt ] ... applying integral to both sides
(2/3)pi*h^3 = 25t + C
2pi*h^3 = 3(25t + C)
h^3 = (3(25t + C))/(2pi)
h^3 = (75t + 3C)/(2pi)
h^3 = (75t + C)/(2pi)
h = [ (75t + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)

Plug in the initial conditions. If the volume is V = 0 then the height is h = 0 at time t = 0
0 = [ (75(0) + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0 = [ (0 + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0 = [ (C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0^3 =  (C)/(2pi)
0 = C/(2pi)
C/(2pi) = 0
C = 0*2pi
C = 0 

Therefore the h(t) function is...
h(t) = [ (75t + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
h(t) = [ (75t + 0)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)

Answer:
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)

============================================================

Part C

Your answer is correct. 
Below is an alternative way to find the same answer

--------------------------------------

Plug in the given height; solve for t
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
8 = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
8^3 = (75t)/(2pi)
512 = (75t)/(2pi)
(75t)/(2pi) = 512
75t = 512*2pi
75t = 1024pi
t = 1024pi/75
At this time value, the height of the water is 8 feet

Set up the radius r(t) function 
r = 2*h
r = 2*h(t)
r = 2*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3) .... using the answer from part B

Differentiate that r(t) function with respect to t
r = 2*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
dr/dt = 2*(1/3)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3-1)*d/dt[(75t)/(2pi)] 
dr/dt = (2/3)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)*(75/(2pi))
dr/dt = (2/3)*(75/(2pi))*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)

Plug in t = 1024pi/75 found earlier above
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75(1024pi/75))/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (1024pi)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*(1/64)
dr/dt = 25/(64pi)
getting the same answer as before

----------------------------

Thinking back as I finish up, your method is definitely shorter and more efficient. So I prefer your method, which is effectively this:
r = 2h, dr/dh = 2
dh/dt = (25)/(2pi*h^2) ... from part A
dr/dt = dr/dh*dh/dt ... chain rule
dr/dt = 2*((25)/(2pi*h^2))
dr/dt = ((25)/(pi*h^2))
dr/dt = ((25)/(pi*8^2)) ... plugging in h = 8
dr/dt = (25)/(64pi)
which is what you stated in your screenshot (though I added on the line dr/dt = dr/dh*dh/dt to show the chain rule in action)

Please provide the answer and an explanation why that is the answer.
natita [175]

Hello!

To find the slope of the given equation, we would need to convert this equation from standard form into slope-intercept form. Our goal, is to get the variable y, on one side of the equation.

Remember that slope-intercept form is written as y = mx + b. In this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

2x + 4y = 12 (subtract 2x from both sides)

4y = 12 - 2x (divide both sides by 4)

y = 12/4 - 2/4x → y = -1/2x + 3

Therefore, the slope of this equation is -1/2, which is the final choice listed.

Amy ate 27.5 cookies in 5.5 minutes. How many cookies did she eat per minute?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

5 cookies per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we divide 27.5 by 5.5 to get the unit rate, in other words, the amount of cookies eaten per minute. This gets us 5. That means Amy ate 5 cookies per minute.
