Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.

Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be

12 × x = 12x

She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be

12 × 2 = 24 cookies

She brings 60 cookies to the party.

The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be

12x = 24 + 60

12x = 84

x = 84/12 = 7 boxes

The radius of a cone is increasing at a constant rate of 7 meters per minute, and the volume is decreasing at a rate of 236 cubi

storchak [24]

Answer:

The rate of change of the height is 0.021 meters per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula

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

Differentiate the equation with respect to time t, such that

$\frac{d}{dt} (V) = \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h)$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi \frac{d}{dt} (r^{2}h)$

To differentiate the product,

Let r² = u, so that

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi \frac{d}{dt} (uh)$

Then, using product rule

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi [u\frac{dh}{dt} + h\frac{du}{dt}]$

Since $u = r^{2}$

Then, $\frac{du}{dr} = 2r$

Using the Chain's rule

$\frac{du}{dt} = \frac{du}{dr} \times \frac{dr}{dt}$

∴ $\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi [u\frac{dh}{dt} + h(\frac{du}{dr} \times \frac{dr}{dt})]$

Then,

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi [r^{2} \frac{dh}{dt} + h(2r) \frac{dr}{dt}]$

Now,

From the question

$\frac{dr}{dt} = 7 m/min$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 236 m^{3}/min$

At the instant when $r = 99 m$

and $V = 180 m^{3}$

We will determine the value of h, using

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

$180 = \frac{1}{3}\pi (99)^{2}h$

$180 \times 3 = 9801\pi h$

$h =\frac{540}{9801\pi }$

$h =\frac{20}{363\pi }$

Now, Putting the parameters into the equation

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi [r^{2} \frac{dh}{dt} + h(2r) \frac{dr}{dt}]$

$236 = \frac{1}{3}\pi [(99)^{2} \frac{dh}{dt} + (\frac{20}{363\pi }) (2(99)) (7)]$

$236 \times 3 = \pi [9801 \frac{dh}{dt} + (\frac{20}{363\pi }) 1386]$

$708 = 9801\pi \frac{dh}{dt} + \frac{27720}{363}$

$708 = 30790.75 \frac{dh}{dt} + 76.36$

$708 - 76.36 = 30790.75\frac{dh}{dt}$

$631.64 = 30790.75\frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{dh}{dt}= \frac{631.64}{30790.75}$

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 0.021 m/min$

Hence, the rate of change of the height is 0.021 meters per minute.

The area in square feet of a rectangular field is x^2-100x+2400. The width, in feet is x-40. What is the length, in feet?

sattari [20]

Answer:

x-60

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to factor out the quadratic.

You know that one of the factors is x-40.

To factor:

Find a number that when added to -40, gives you -100, and also when multiplied, gives you 2400.

That such number is -60.

Add an x before it, and you get (x-60)

5 cm<br> 4 cm<br> 6 cm<br> 3D rectangle

Sergio [31]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming your looking for the area (if not pls tell me and I will make corrections)

So to get the area of a 3D shape you multiply the length, width, and height

5×4×6=120
