Hello there,

The correct answer is C

Here's why,
-9(-8/7)+4y=8 is -4/7

and

-3(-8/7)-y=4 is -4/7

Hope this helps!

What you need to look for is $\frac { dr }{ dt }$ when r=8.

Now:

$Volume\quad of\quad a\quad sphere:\\ \\ V=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 }$

$\therefore \quad \frac { dV }{ dr } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi \cdot 3{ r }^{ 2 }=4\pi { r }^{ 2 }\\ \\ \therefore \quad \frac { dr }{ dV } =\frac { 1 }{ \frac { dV }{ dr } } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { r }^{ 2 } }$

$And:\\ \\ \frac { dV }{ dt } =-\frac { 256\pi }{ 3 } \\ \\ Therefore:\\ \\ \frac { dr }{ dt } =\frac { dr }{ dV } \cdot \frac { dV }{ dt }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { r }^{ 2 } } \cdot -\frac { 256\pi }{ 3 } \\ \\ =-\frac { 256 }{ 12 } \cdot \frac { \pi }{ \pi } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ { r }^{ 2 } }$

$\\ \\ =-\frac { 64 }{ 3{ r }^{ 2 } } \\ \\ When\quad r=8,\\ \\ \frac { dr }{ dt } =-\frac { 64 }{ 3\cdot { 8 }^{ 2 } } =-\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ Answer:\quad -\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \quad cm/sec$

Mr.gilliam is 3 years younger than his wife.the sum of their ages is 95.how old is mr.gilliam

Usimov [2.4K]

X = the age of Mr. Gilliam
His wife is 3 years older, so the age of Mr. Gilliam's wife = x+3
The sum of their ages is 95.

$x+x+3=95 \\
2x+3=95 \\
2x=95-3 \\
2x=92 \\
x=46$

Mr. Gilliam is 46 years old.

Which scenario can the following graph describe? A)the total time a kite is up in the air as it goes up for a little bit ,comes

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

<em>A graph where the function first increases and then decreases to touch the x-axis and the increases.</em>

It is required to find the corresponding situations.

So, from the options we have that,

The graph represents the speed of a vehicle which first increases (as it accelerates), then decreases (slows down) and then touch the x-axis (stops at the light) and then increases (accelerates on the ramp for a freeway).

Hence, option C is scenario that the graph describes.
