The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 1 cm/ min while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm2

/ min. at what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the altitude is 10 cm and the area is 100 cm2 ?

Ya, calculus and related rates, such fun!




everything is changing with respect to t

altitude rate will be dh/dt and that is 1cm/min
dh/dt=1cm/min

area will be da/dt which is increasing at 2cm²/min
da/dt=2cm²/min

base=db/dt

alright

area=1/2bh
take dervitivie of both sides
da/dt=1/2((db/dt)(h)+(dh/dt)(b))
solve for db/dt
distribute
da/dt=1/2(db/dt)(h)+1/2(dh/dt)(b)
move
da/dt-1/2(dh/dt)(b)=1/2(db/dt)(h)
times 2 both sides
2da/dt-(dh/dt)(b)=(db/dt)(h)
divide by h
(2da/dt-(dh/dt)(b))/h=db/dt

ok
we know
height=10
area=100
so
a=1/2bh
100=1/2b10
100=5b
20=b

so
h=10
b=20
da/dt=2cm²/min
dh/dt=1cm/min

therefor
(2(2cm²/min)-(1cm/min)(20cm))/10cm=db/dt
(4cm²/min-20cm²/min)/10cm=db/dt
(-16cm²/min)/10cm=db/dt
-1.6cm/min=db/dt

the base is decreasing at 1.6cm/min

Evaluate the function f(-2) - h(4) given the following functions: f(x) = 4x​ 2​+ 9 h(x) = 3x - 14
Goryan [66]

Answer:

-86

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify each equation as much as possible

f(x)= 4x(2+9) add

4x(11) multiply

f(x)=44x

substitute given numbers into each equation

44(-2)=-88                3(4)-14= 12-14=-2

combine equations

-88-(-2)= -86   add since you are subtracting a negative number

Which shape is similar to the original shape?<br> A) A <br> B) B <br> C) C <br> D) D
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

I think the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original shape: 7 x 5 x 225 x 6 x 12 x 45 = 25,515,000

A: 9 x 5 x 225 x 6 x 35 x 12 = 25,515,000

B: 14 x 10 x 255 x 12 x 24 x 45 = 462,672,000

C: 9 x 7 x 225 x 8 x 15 x 45 = 76,545,000

D: 8 x 4 x 225 x 6 x 12 x 35 = 18,144,000

This is probably not the way you would solve it but this is how I did it. Basically I multiplied all the numbers in each shape together.

<em>(also i'm not quite sure if this is right >.< sorry!)</em>
