Let h = height of water  
Let r = radius of surface of water  
By similar triangles, r/h = 4/16 = 0.25, so r = 0.25h  
The volume of the water is:  
v = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h  
v = (1/3) * pi * (0.25h)^2 * h  
v = (1/48) * pi * h^3  
dv/dh = 0.25*pi*h^2  
The question tells us that dv/dt = -3  
By the Chain Rule:  
dv/dt = dv/dh * dh/dt  
-3 = 0.25*pi*h^2 * dh/dt  
dh/dt = -3 / (0.25*pi*h^2)  
dh/dt = -12 / (pi*h^2)  
When h = 9 we have:  
dh/dt = -12 / (pi*9^2)  
dh/dt = -12 / (81*pi)  
dh/dt = -4 / (9*pi) cm^3/min  
dh/dt =~ -0.14147106052612918735011890077557 cm^3/min

Answer:

\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\pi}cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

From similar triangles, see diagram in attachment

\frac{r}{4}=\frac{h}{16}


We solve for r to obtain,


r=\frac{h}{4}


The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h


We substitute the value of r=\frac{h}{4} to obtain,


V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{h}{4})^2h


This implies that,

V=\frac{1}{48}\pi h^3


We now differentiate both sides with respect to t to get,

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{\pi}{16}h^2 \frac{dh}{dt}


We were given that water is drained out of the tank at a rate of 2cm^3/min


This implies that \frac{dV}{dt}=-2cm^3/min.


Since we want to determine the rate at which the depth of the water is changing at the instance when the water in the tank is 8cm deep, it means h=8cm.


We substitute this values to obtain,


-2=\frac{\pi}{16}(8)^2 \frac{dh}{dt}


\Rightarrow -2=4\pi \frac{dh}{dt}


\Rightarrow -1=2\pi \frac{dh}{dt}


\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\pi}

Answer: x = 4 and y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = -4

2x = -4 - 4y

x = -2 - 2y

Now that we have solved the first equation for x, we plug (-2 - 2y) into the other equation in place of x and then solve for y.

3(-2 -2y) + 5y = -3

-6 - 6y + 5y = -3

-y = 3

y = -3

Now that we know y, we plug it into the original equation and solve for x.

2x + 4(-3) = -4

2x + -12 = -4

2x = 8

x = 4

You can check the answer by plugging both x and y into either of the original equations.

Determine if 2x = 14 + y and 4x + 2y = 10 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

To tell if lines are perpendicular or parallel just from the equations, you need to look at the slopes. So get the equations into slop-intercept form

(y = slope * x + y-intercept)

2x = 14 + y

-14          -14

2x - 14 = y    OR     y = 2x - 14

*So the slope of the first equation is 2*

4x + 2y = 10

-4x           -4x

2y = -4x + 10

/2          /2

y = -4/2 + 10

*So the slope is -2*

For the lines to be parallel, the slopes have to be the same. For them to be perpendicular, the slopes have to be opposite (negative is the opposite of positive and vice versa) and reciprocal (A flipped fraction, so the reciprocal of 2 would be 1/2)
