Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap

e of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 11 ft high

Answer:

<h2> 0.0526ft/min</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the gravel being dumped is in the shape of a cone, we will use the formula for calculating the volume of a cone.

Volume of a cone V = πr²h/3

<em>If the diameter and the height are equal, then r = h</em>

V = πh²h/3

V = πh³/3

If the gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft³/min, then dV/dt = 20ft³/min

Using chain rule to get the expression for dV/dt;

dV/dt = dV/dh * dh/dt

From the formula above, dV/dh = 3πh²/3

dV/dh =  πh²

dV/dt = πh²dh/dt

20 = πh²dh/dt

To calculate how fast the height of the pile is increasing when the pile is 11 ft high, we will substitute h = 11 into the resulting expression and solve for dh/dt.

20 = π(11)²dh/dt

20 = 121πdh/dt

dh/dt = 20/121π

dh/dt = 20/380.133

dh/dt = 0.0526ft/min

This means that the height of the pile is increasing at  0.0526ft/min

Answer:

C) -\frac{47}{49}

Step-by-step explanation:

By the cos double angle formula, we know \cos(2\theta)=2\cos^2\theta-1. Substituting \cos \theta into the formula, we get

\cos(2\theta)=2(-\frac{1}{7})^2-1\\~~~~~~~~~~=\frac{2}{49}-1\\~~~~~~~~~~=\boxed{-\frac{47}{49}}.

The answer is C.

How to solve for the shaded region
k0ka [10]
The shaded region is a triangle. Triangle area can be determined with formula
a = 1/2 × b × h

From the question, we know that the triangle consists of
base = 10 - 6 = 4 m
and the height is the dimension which is perpendicular to the base,
height = 6 m

Find the triangle area
a = 1/2 × b × h
a = 1/2 × 4 × 6
a = 1/2 × 24
a = 12

The area of the shaded region is 12 m²

Sarah rolls a die twice. What is the probability that she rolls a 3 and then an even number?
vekshin1

Answer:

A) 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a die is { 1,2,3,4,5,6}

P (getting 3)= The number of "3"'s  in the sample space over the number of items in the sample space

P (getting a 3} = 1/6

P (getting  even)= The number of evens  in the sample space over the number of items in the sample space

P (getting an even} = 3/6= 1/2

Since these are independent events, we multiply the probabilities

P(3, even) = 1/6 * 1/2 = 1/12
