Answer:
Option B: Elevator A descends at a faster rate than elevator B
Option C: Elevator A will reach the ground first
Step-by-step explanation:
Elevator A: -4x+16
Elevator B: -3x +16
You know that the slope, m=5. You have a point (6,7) as (x,y). The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. Plug in the number for x,y, and m, and then you would be able to find b using the slope-intercept form. Then rewrite the equation as y=5x+b, which you just found b.
(Here's the first step. 7=5(-6)+b). Find b, and then write the slope-intercept form as y=5x+b.
Answer:
The water level is dropping at a rate of 0.24 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we simply want to calculate the change in depth (height of the cone) , given the volume change
Mathematically, we have the volume of a cone as;
V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h
we are given dv/dt as 12 ft^3/m
dv/dh = 1/3 * π * r^2
Substituting the value for the radius, we have
dv/dh = 1/3 * 22/7 * 4^2 = 50.29
dh/dt = dh/dv * dv/dt
dh/dv = 1/(dv/dh) = 1/50.29
Thus,
dh/dt = 1/50.29 * 12
dh/dt = 0.24 ft/s
5 - 3x = -19
-3x = -24
Divide by -3
Solution: x = 8
