The base of a triangle is shrinking at a rate of 1cm/min and the height if the triangle is increasing at a rate of 5cm/min. Find

the rate at which the area of the triangle changes when the height is 22 cm and the base is 10 cm.

Answer: Rate of change of Area of the triangle = 2.75cm~/min

Step-by-step explanation:

If the present height of the triangle is 22cm and the height increases by 5cm/min. It means the height was 2cm four minutes earlier: 5cm for 1st min + 5cm for 2nd min + 5cm for 3rd min + 5cm for 4th min = 20cm after 4min.

Therefore height equals 22 - 20 = 2cm four minutes earlier.

Using the same four minutes for the base. Since the base shrinks at 1cm/min, for the base to shrink to 10cm it means it was 14cm four minutes earlier.

The Area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 × base × height

Therefore Area= 1/2× 10×22 = 110cm~

Since it took four minutes to get to this area, the rate of change of the area will be 110÷4 = 2.75cm~/min

An engineer stands 200 feet from a tower and sights the top of the tower at a 45° angle of elevation. Find the height of the tow
Alik [6]
Drawing a diagram of a triangle may be helpful. The hypotenuse is irrelevant, but the vertical leg and the horizontal leg are useful. Since we know the engineer is looking up at a 45 degree angle from a distance of 200 feet, we can label the vertical leg the "opposite", since it is on the opposite side of the angle we are given. The horizontal leg then becomes the "adjacent". You can then use trigonometry to solve for the opposite. 
The options are:
sin(theta)= opposite/hypotenuse
cos(theta)= adjacent/hypotenuse
tan(theta)= opposite/adjacent
Since we don't care about the hypotenuse, the last equation is the one to use. The angle we are given can be substituted in for theta:
tan(45)= x/200
1.61977519= x/200
x= 323.955038 feet

oee [108]

Answer:

a. The initial amount of money that was left in this savings account was of 5000.

b. Decrease of 2% each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function:

An exponential function, with an initial value of A(0), and a decay rate of r, as a decimal, is given by:

A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t

In this question, we have:

y = 5000*(0.98)^x

a. What was the initial amount of money that was left in this savings account?

This is y(0) = 5000

The initial amount of money that was left in this savings account was of 5000.

b. What is the percent of change each year in this savings account?

First as a decimal.

1 - r = 0.98

r = 1 - 0.98

r = 0.02

So a decrease of 2% each year.
