A charity is selling raffle tickets at $5 apiece. Out of the 100 tickets sold, ten third-place winners will be drawn, each winni

ng $20. Five second-place winners will be drawn, each winning $50. Lastly, one grand prize of $100 will be awarded. Is a raffle with these rules a good idea for the charity? Why or why not?

1 QUESTION. PLEASE HELP. VOLUME GEOMETRY QUESTION.
mina [271]
Knowing the volume of a 3-D shape is extremely when deciding what materials to use and how much of them to use.  When you know the volume of the different designs is helpful when deciding which material costs less to use but still meets requirements. For example, if you were trying to decide what material to fill your product with, and say the volume of your product is 36^3. You narrow things down to two products, one costing $54 to fill the entire thing. The other costing $60. Because you have the volume, it will be easy to decide which is better based off of the price per square inch. If you didn't have the volume. You would have to make an estimate and potentially make a bad business decision.   

Hope this helps! I apologize for my long response

Marine biologists have determined that when a shark detectsthe presence of blood in the water, it will swim in the directionin w
siniylev [52]

Solution :

a). The level curves of the function :

$C(x,y) = e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}$

are actually the curves

$e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}=k$

where k is a positive constant.

The equation is equivalent to

$x^2+2y^2=K$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{(\sqrt K)^2}+\frac{y^2}{(\sqrt {K/2})^2}=1, \text{ where}\ K = -10^4 \ln k$

which is a family of ellipses.

We sketch the level curves for K =1,2,3 and 4.

If the shark always swim in the direction of maximum increase of blood concentration, its direction at any point would coincide with the gradient vector.

Then we know the shark's path is perpendicular to the level curves it intersects.

b). We have :

$\triangledown C= \frac{\partial C}{\partial x}i+\frac{\partial C}{\partial y}j$

$\Rightarrow \triangledown C =-\frac{2}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}(xi+2yj),$ and

$\triangledown C$ points in the direction of most rapid increase in concentration, which means $\triangledown C$ is tangent to the most rapid increase curve.

$r(t)=x(t)i+y(t)j$  is a parametrization of the most $\text{rapid increase curve}$ , then

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{dx}{dt}i+\frac{dy}{dt}j$ is a tangent to the curve.

So then we have that $\frac{dr}{dt}=\lambda \triangledown C$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{2\lambda x}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}, \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{4\lambda y}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4} $

∴ $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt}=\frac{2y}{x}$

Using separation of variables,

$\frac{dy}{y}=2\frac{dx}{x}$

$\int\frac{dy}{y}=2\int \frac{dx}{x}$

$\ln y=2 \ln x$

⇒ y = kx^2 for some constant k

but we know that $y(x_0)=y_0$

$\Rightarrow kx_0^2=y_0$

$\Rightarrow k =\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}$

∴ The path of the shark will follow is along the parabola

$y=\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}x^2$

$y=y_0\left(\frac{x}{x_0}\right)^2$
