A trough has ends shaped like isosceles triangles, with width 5 m and height 7 m, and the trough is 12 m long. Water is being pu

mped into the trough at a rate of 6 m3/min. At what rate (in m/min) does the height of the water change when the water is 1 m deep?

Answer:

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=21 \text{m/min}

the rate of change of height when the water is 1 meter deep is 21 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the volume of the trough given its dimensions and shape: (it has a prism shape so we can directly use that formula OR we can multiply the area of its triangular face with the length of the trough)

V = \dfrac{1}{2}(bh)\times L

here L is a constant since that won't change as the water is being filled in the trough, however 'b' and 'h' will be changing. The equation has two independent variables and we need to convert this equation so it is only dependent on 'h' (the height of the water).

As its an isosceles triangle we can find a relationship between b and h. the ratio between the b and h will be always be the same:

\dfrac{b}{h} = \dfrac{5}{7}

b=\dfrac{5}{7}h this can be substituted back in the volume equation

V = \dfrac{5}{14}h^2L

the rate of the water flowing in is:

\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 6

The question is asking for the rate of change of height (m/min) hence that can be denoted as: \frac{dh}{dt}

Using the chainrule:

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{dh}{dV}\times \dfrac{dV}{dt}

the only thing missing in this equation is dh/dV which can be easily obtained by differentiating the volume equation with respect to h

V = \dfrac{5}{14}h^2L

\dfrac{dV}{dh} = \dfrac{5}{7}hL

reciprocating

\dfrac{dh}{dV} = \dfrac{7}{5hL}

plugging everything in the chain rule equation:

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{dh}{dV}\times \dfrac{dV}{dt}

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{7}{5hL}\times 6

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{42}{5hL}

L = 12, and h = 1 (when the water is 1m deep)

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{42}{5(1)(12)}

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=21 \text{m/min}

the rate of change of height when the water is 1 meter deep is 21 m/min

Answer:

0.7 m3/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a 3D triangle (prism) = area * length

= 1/2 * (b * h) * l

b = width

= 5/7 * h

Volume = 5/14 * h^2 * l

Volume flow rate of the trough;

dv/dt = area of trough * dh/dt

Area = l * b

= 5/7*h*l * dh/dt

Therefore,

dh/dt = 7/(5*l*h) * dv/dt

= 7/(5*12*1) * 6

= 0.7 m3/min.

in the diagram, AE is tangent to the circle at point a and secant DE intersects the circle at point C and D. the iines intersect
AlexFokin [52]
Recall the secant-tangent theorem, and you have
EA^2 = EC*CD
12^2 = 8*(x+10)
and now ED = EC+CD = 8+x+10

A College Alcohol Study has interviewed random samples of students at four-year colleges. In the most recent study, 494 of 1000
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of women who drink alcohol and the proportion of men who drink alcohol is (-0.102, -0.014) or (-10.2%, -1.4%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to calculate the bounds of a 95% confidence interval of the difference between proportions.

For a 95% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.96.

The sample 1 (women), of size n1=1000 has a proportion of p1=0.494.

p_1=X_1/n_1=494/1000=0.494

The sample 2 (men), of size n2=1000 has a proportion of p2=0.552.

p_2=X_2/n_2=552/1000=0.552

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.058.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.494-0.552=-0.058

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{494+552}{1000+1000}=\dfrac{1046}{2000}=0.523

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}+\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.000249+0.000249}=\sqrt{0.000499}=0.022

Then, the margin of error is:

MOE=z \cdot s_{p1-p2}=1.96\cdot 0.022=0.0438

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=(p_1-p_2)-z\cdot s_{p1-p2} = -0.058-0.0438=-0.102\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z\cdot s_{p1-p2}= -0.058+0.0438=-0.014

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.102, -0.014).
