Answer:

0.0221 feet per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Volume of a cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

If the Base Diameter = Height of the Cone

The radius of the Cone = h/2

Therefore,

\text{Volume of the cone}=\dfrac{\pi h}{3} (\dfrac{h}{2}) ^2 \\V=\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12}

Rate of Change of the Volume, \dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}

Since gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 10 cubic feet per minute. Therefore, the Volume of the cone is increasing at a rate of 10 cubic feet per minute.

\dfrac{dV}{dt}=10$ ft^3/min

We want to determine how fast is the height of the pile is increasing when the pile is 24 feet high.

We have:

\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=10\\\\$When h=24$ feet$\\\dfrac{3\pi *24^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=10\\144\pi \dfrac{dh}{dt}=10\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{10}{144\pi}\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0.0221$ feet per minute

When the pile is 24 feet high, the height of the pile is increasing at a rate of 0.0221 feet per minute.

Answer:

No real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7x² + 5x + 1 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 7, b = 5, c = 1

To determine the nature of the roots use the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then roots are real and distinct

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then roots are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then the roots are not real

Here

b² - 4ac = 5² - (4 × 7 × 1) = 25 - 28 = - 3

Thus the 2 roots are not real

A car's wheels spins at 1000 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the wheels is 23 inches. You want to know how fast the car
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

72,220 inches per  minute

Step-by-step explanation:

A car's wheels spins at 1000 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the wheels is 23 inches.

1 revolution = 2\pi radians

\frac{theta}{tome}=\frac{1000 \ revolution}{1 \ minuite} = \frac{1000* 2\pi }{1} =\frac{2000\pi}{1 \ minute}

Speed V= \frac{r*theta}{t}

r is the radius , theta is the angle and t is the time

We know diameter = 23  , then radius = 23/2

Speed V= \frac{23}{2}*\frac{2000\pi}{1}

Value of pi = 3.14

speed = 23000* 3.14= 72220 inches/ minute

the sum of two numbers is 70. the larger number is five less than twice the smaller number . what are the two numbers
earnstyle [38]
X+y=70
x=2y-5
x=larger number
y=smaller number
now plug in the value of x to only have one variable in the equation...
Way to solve for y:
(2y-5)+y=70
3y-5=70
add 5 on both sides...
3y=75
divide by 3 on both sides
y=25
1st way to solve for x:
now plug in y in the original equation...
x+25=70
subtract 25 on both sides...
x=45
2nd way to solve for x:
plug in y for the second equation...
x=25(2)-5
x=50-5
x=45
answer: the two numbers are 45 and 25.
