Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a pretty basic related rates problem. I'm going to go through this just like I do in class when I'm teaching it to my students.
We see we have a snowball, which is a sphere. We are talking about the surface area of this sphere which has a formula of
In the problem we are given diameter, not radius. What we know about the relationship between a radius and a diameter is that
d = 2r so
Now we can have the equation in terms of diameter instead of radius. Rewriting:
which simplifies to
and a bit more to
(the 4's cancel out by division). Now that is a simple equation for which we have to find the derivative with respect to time.
Now let's look at the problem and see what we are given as far as information.
The rate at which the surface area changes is -3.8, and we are looking for
, the rate at which the diameter is changing, when the diameter is 13. Filling in:
and solving for the rate at which the diameter is changing:
and divide to get
Obviously, the negative means that the diameter is decreasing.
Parallel = same slope
Find slope of 3x + 5y = 8
Turn into y = mx + b
5y = -3x + 8
Divide by 5
y = -3/5x + 8/5
Slope is -3/5
Y = -3/5x + b, find y intercept
Plug in the point
4 = -3/5(10) + b
4 = -6 + b, b = 10
Final equation: y = -3/5x + 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Having the information on how many events there are and how many people in each event there would help me personally solve this
what i can tell you is its a probability thing a tree diagram is starting with something, like flipping a coin, and creating a branch for heads and tails, 0.5 for each branch. like the attachment I have on here. there's only 2 probable results from a coin, but if I have 5 events with 50 competitors I've created a lot more probable outcomes, it also depends on the events, if one of my competitors in 6'9" and ones 5'2" and the event is a dunk contest it would be slightly unfair and the probability of the person who is 5'2" changing your tree diagram :)
Answer:
y=-1.5x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
18y=12x-72
3y=2x-12
y=2/3x-4
Slope=-1.5
7=-6(-1.5)+b
7=9-2
