A rectangular prism has a width of 16 inches and a length of 10 inches. The volume of the rectangular prism is decreasing at a r

ate of 555 cubic inches per minute, with the width and length being held constant. What is the rate of change, in inches per minute, of the height when the height is 3 inches?

Answer:

-3.47 inches per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height be 'h' for any time 't'.

Given:

Length of the prism (L) = 10 in

Width of the prism (w) = 16 in

The rate of change of volume of prism is, \frac{dV}{dt}=-555\ in^3/min (The negative sign implies the volume decreases with time.)

Now, rate of change of height of prism = \frac{dh}{dt}=?

Length and width remains constant.

Now, we know that, volume of a rectangular prism is given as:

Volume = Length × width × Height

V=Lwh\\\\V=10\times 16\times h\\\\V=160h

Now, differentiating both sides with respect to time 't', we get:

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(160h)

Plug in the given values and solve for \frac{dh}{dt}. This gives,

-555=160\times \frac{dh}{dt}\\\\\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{-555}{160}\\\\\frac{dh}{dt}=-3.47\ in/min

The negative sign implies the height decreases with time.

Therefore, the the rate of change, in inches per minute, of the height when the height is 3 inches is -3.47 inches per minute.

Solve the following quadratic equations
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these equations equate them to zero, that is

x² - x - 42 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 42) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 1)

The factors are - 7 and + 6, since

- 7 × 6 = - 42 and - 7 + 6 = - 1 , thus

(x - 7)(x + 6) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

Solutions are x = - 6, x = 7

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

x² + x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

Solutions are x = - 3, x = 2

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

x² - 25 = 0 ( add 25 to both sides )

x² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{25} = ± 5

Solutions are x = - 5, x = 5

Jake opens a credit card with 18% annual interest compounded monthly. If he charges $800 on the card and never pays it off, how
Makovka662 [10]
<h3>Answer:  $1,143.60</h3>

Work Shown:

A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

A = 800*(1+0.18/12)^(12*2)

A = 1,143.60224954321

A = 1,143.60

Notes:

  • P = 800 is the principal. It is the amount loaned to Jake.
  • r = 0.18 is the decimal form of the 18% interest rate
  • n = 12 because we're compounding monthly, i.e. 12 times a year
  • t = 2 = number of years
  • For more information, check out the compound interest formula.
