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}

Write an augmented matrix for the following system of equations
chubhunter [2.5K]
Just use the coefficients for each variable and put it in a matrix. Is the second question set equal to something? Because then you would put it in place as the question mark. (Did the pic come through?)
So the 3x3 matrix is made up of the coefficients and then to augment the matrix, you add another column at the end with the solutions. Good luck!

What does c equal in thus equation I don't know for the life of me help is deeply appreciated 4(3+c)+c=c+4
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(3+c)+c=c+4

(4)(3)+(4)(c)+c=c+4(Distribute)

12+4c+c=c+4

(4c+c)+(12)=c+4(Combine Like Terms)

5c+12=c+4

5c+12=c+4

Step 2: Subtract c from both sides.

5c+12−c=c+4−c

4c+12=4

Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.

4c+12−12=4−12

4c=−8

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

4c

4

=

−8

4

c=−2
