At a sand and gravel plant, sand is falling off a conveyor and onto a conical pile at a rate of 6 cubic feet per minute. The dia

meter of the base of the cone is approximately three times the altitude. At what rate is the height of the pile changing when the pile is 2 feet high?

Answer:

0.2122\text{ ft per min}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be the radius ( in feet ) of the cone,

So, the diameter of the cone = 2 × radius = 2r feet,

∵ The diameter of the base of the cone is three times the height,

If h represents the height of the cone,

⇒ 2r = 3 × h,

⇒ r=\frac{3h}{2} feet,

∵ Volume of a cone,

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi R^2 H

Where,

R = radius, H = height,

Thus, the volume of the given cone is,

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{3h}{2})^2 h

=\frac{3}{4}\pi h^3

Differentiating with respect to t ( time )

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{9}{4}\pi h^2\frac{dh}{dt}

We have,

\frac{dV}{dt}=6\text{ cubic ft per min},h=2\text{ feet}

6=\frac{9}{4}\pi (2)^2 \frac{dh}{dt}

6=9\pi \frac{dh}{dt}

\implies \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{6}{9\pi }\approx 0.2122\text{ ft per min}

Mrs. McDonnell is making 25 paper cones to fill
viktelen [127]

Answer:

(A)29 cubic inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the Cone =4 Inches

Height of the Cone =7 Inches

Volume of a Cone =\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

First, we determine the radius, r.

Radius=Diameter/2=4/2=2 Inches

Therefore:

Volume of one paper cone =\frac{1}{3}\pi *2^2*7

=29.32 cubic inch

=29 cubic inch (to the nearest cubic inch.)

Without Graphing, Is The System Independent, Dependent, Or Inconsistent? (Equation And Answer Choices Are In Comments!)
notsponge [240]
<span>12x +3y = 12
y = -4x +5
 
We can convert the first equation to the same form as the second (y=mx+b, or slope-intercept).
 
12x +3y = 12
3y = -12x +12
y = -4x +4
 
Comparing the simplified first equation y = -4x +4 to the second equation y = -4x + 5, we see that both have the same slope (m = -4), but different y-intercepts (b = 4, b = 5). This means they are parallel lines, or an inconsistent system. There are no solutions.</span>
