A trough of water is 20 meters in length and its ends are in the shape of an isosceles triangle whose width is 7 meters and heig

ht is 10 meters. Assume that the two equal length sides of the triangle are the sides of the water tank and the other side of the triangle is the top of the tank and is parallel to the ground. Water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 2 m3/min. When the water is 6 meters deep at what rate is (a) depth changing and (b) the width of the top of the water changing? Note the sketch below is not to scale…

Answer:

a) Depth changing rate of change is 0.24m/min, When the water is 6 meters deep

b) The width of the top of the water is changing at a rate of 0.17m/min, When the water is 6 meters deep

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the attachment part II, there are similar triangles, so we have the following relation between them \frac{3.5}{10} =\frac{a}{h}, then a=0.35h.

a) As we have that volume is V=\frac{1}{2} 2ahL=ahL, then V=(0.35h^{2})L, so we can derivate it \frac{dV}{dt}=2(0.35h)L\frac{dh}{dt} due to the chain rule, then we clean this expression for \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{0.7hL}\frac{dV}{dt} and compute with the knowns \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{0.7(6m)(20m)}2m^{3}/min=0.24m/min, is the depth changing rate of change when the water is 6 meters deep.

b) As the width of the top is 2a=0.7h, we can derivate it and obtain \frac{da}{dt}=0.7\frac{dh}{dt}  =0.7*0.24m/min=0.17m/min The width of the top of the water is changing, When the water is 6 meters deep at this rate

Why is the lcm of two numbers never less than the larger number?
Lady bird [3.3K]
This involves a bit of logic in thinking about what LCM actually means.

LCM is the least common multiple. A common multiple is a multiple shared by two or more numbers. And by multiple, we mean some number multiplied by successive integers; this set contains multiples of 5 {5, 10, 15, 20, 25...}. You can see that the least (or lowest) common multiple is the lowest multiple shared by two numbers. Like for 6 and 9, you have {6, 12, 18, 24...} and {9, 18...}, so LCM(6,9) = 18. 

Now, if an LCM must be shared by both numbers, and to get a multiple of the largest number, you have to multiply by an integer greater than or equal to 1, then the LCM of two numbers can never be less than the larger of the twi numbers. Generally, if x and y are positive real numbers, and x is greater than y, LCM(x,y)  \leq x.
