At a sand and gravel plant, sand is falling off a conveyor and onto a conical pile at a rate of 10 cubic feet per minute. The di

ameter of the base of the cone is about three times the altitude. At what rate is the height of the pile changing at when the pile is 15 feet high.

Answer:

0.0063 ft / min

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement we have that the variation in volume with respect to time is equal 10, like this:

dV / dt = 10 ft ^ 3 / min

We know that the volume of the cone is given by the equation:

V = (1/3) * Pi * r ^ 2 * h

Now, we are mentioned that the diameter of the base of the cone is approximately three times the altitude, therefore:

2r = 3h, solving for r we have:

r = (3/2) * h, replacing the volume equation:

V = (1/3) * Pi * [(3h / 2) ^ 2] * h, solving we have:

V = (3/4) * Pi * h ^ 3

They ask us to calculate the change in height with respect to time, that is dh / dt

Therefore we derive both sides with respect to time, we have to:

dV / dt = (3/4) * Pi [3 * (h ^ 2) dh / dt] = (9/4) * pi * (h ^ 2) * dh / dt

reorganizing for dh / dt, we have:

dh / dt = [4/9 * pi * (h ^ 2)] * dV / dt

Knowing that h is 15 and dV / dt is 10, we replace these values:

dh / dt = [4/9 * 3.14 * (15 ^ 2)] * 10 = 0.0063 ft / min

0.0063 ft / min would be the change in height with respect to time.

Write an equation in point-slope form and slope-intercept form for
slava [35]

Answer:

point slope: y-7=2(x-4

slope intercept: y=2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

(4,7) and m=2

using all the info here is it in point slope form: <u>y-7=2(x-4)</u>

turning the point slope equation into slope intercept...

slope intercept form: y=mx+b

first simplify y-7=2(x-4) into y-7=2x-8

then add 7 to both sides...

which would be <u>y=2x-1 </u>

and thats your answer!!

The scale on a map indicates that 1 inch represents 10 miles. If two cities are 2 3 4 inches apart on a map, how many miles apar
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2340 miles

Given

1 inch represents 10 miles

thus,

1 inch on map = 10 miles in real

given the two cities are 234 inches apart on map

1 inch on map = 10 miles in real

multiplying both side by 234

1 inch*234 on map = 10 miles*234 in real

234 inch on map = 2340 miles in real.

Thus, two cities are 2340 miles apart.
