Answer: dr/dt = 9/(24pi)  cm per minute

9/(24pi) is approximately equal to 0.119366

=============================================

Work Shown:

Given info

dS/dt = 18 cm^2/min is the rate of change of the surface area

r = 6 cm is the radius, from the fact that the diameter is 12 cm

--------

Use the surface area equation given, apply the derivative, plug in the given values and then isolate dr/dt which represents the rate of change for the radius

S = 4*pi*r^2

dS/dt = 2*4*pi*r*dr/dt

dS/dt = 8*pi*r*dr/dt

18 = 8*pi*6*dr/dt

18 = 48*pi*dr/dt

48pi*dr/dt = 18

dr/dt = 18/(48pi)

dr/dt = (9*2)/(24*2pi)

dr/dt = 9/(24pi)

The units are cm per minute, which can be written as cm/min.

A circular oil spill continues to increase in size. The radius of the oil spill, in miles, is given by the function r(t) = 0.5 +
cestrela7 [59]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

A(r(t))=\pi(0.25+2t+4t^2)

Explanation:

To write a composite function, we apply one function to another given function. In this case, we want to find area in terms of time; this means that the function A(r) gets applied to the function r(t).

In order to do this, we replace r with r(t). We already know that r(t)=0.5+2t; this means we replace r with 0.5+2t:

A(r(t))=π(0.5+2t)²

To simplify this, we simplify the squared term:

A(r(t)) = π(0.5+2t)(0.5+2t)

A(r(t)) = π(0.5*0.5+0.5*2t+2t*0.5+2t*2t)

A(r(t)) = π(0.25+t+t+4t²)

A(r(t)) = π(0.25+2t+4t²)

Translate the sentence into an equation, then solve the
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The equation is: \frac{x-7}{5} = 13 and the number is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use mathematical notation to convert the given statement into an equation. As we don't know the exact value of number, we have to use a variable in place of the number.

Let x be the required number then

"A number decreased by 7"

x-7

"and then  divided by 5"

\frac{x-7}{5}

" is 13."

\frac{x-7}{5} = 13

For solving, multiplying both sides of equation by "5"

\frac{x-7}{5} * 5 = 13*5\\x-7 = 65

Adding 7 on both sides of equation

x-7+7 = 65+7\\x = 72

Hence,

The equation is: \frac{x-7}{5} = 13 and the number is 72.

What is the value of y2 – x2 when y = 6 and x = 5?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

y^2 - x^2 = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2 - x^2 = ?

Substitute.

y = 6

x = 5

Becomes:

6^2 - 5^2 = ?

Solve.

6^2 = 6 x 6

6 x 6 = 36

5^2 = 5 x 5

5 x 5 = 25

36 - 25 = 11
