Answer:

  -0.6 cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is ...

  A = (1/2)bh

Solving for the base, we find ...

  b = 2A/h

Then the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 2(A'h -Ah')/h^2

Filling in the given values, we find the rate of change of the base to be ...

  b' = 2((2 cm^2/min)(20 cm) -(160 cm^2)(1 cm/min))/(20 cm)^2

  = 2(40-160)/400 cm/min

  = -0.6 cm/min

The base is decreasing at 0.6 cm/minute.

Which set is closed under the operation multiplication?
oee [108]
I have another set of choices here:

A. {0.5, 1, 2} 


B. {1, 2, 4} 


C. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 


<span>D. {0} 
</span>
If you multiply two numbers from a closed set the answer is in the set. 
<span>So A is not closed because 2 x 2 = 4 which isn't in the set. Only 0.5, 1, and 2 are in set A. </span>

<span>Try multiplying the largest numbers in sets B, C, and D by themselves. You will soon discover the closed set.</span>
