Answer:
The base is decreasing at 2 cm/min.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a triangle is given by:
(1)
Where:
b: is the base
h: is the altitude = 10 cm
If we take the derivative of equation (1) as a function of time we have:
We can find the base by solving equation (1) for b:
Now, having that dh/dt = 1 cm/min, dA/dt = 2 cm²/min we can find db/dt:
Therefore, the base is decreasing at 2 cm/min.
I hope it helps you!
I assume you are being asked to solve these equations. Since there wasn't an explanation as to how you are expected to solve them, I chose to demonstrate how to use a calculator matrix function. You can find matrix calculators online. My instructions are for a TI-84
Push the blue 2nd button then push x^-1 button (it says matrix above this button in blue)
Arrow over to edit to change the dimensions of the matrix and to put in your values. You have 3 equations (3 rows) and 4 terms (4 columns) so you put a 3x4 in for the dimension and the coefficients (see images).
You use the rref option in the math column in matrix to calculate the answer.
The numbers at the end are the solutions. x = -4, y = 2, z = -1
Answer: She can buy up to 2 bags of nuts
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:
The product of the number of bags of nuts bought (n) and the price per bag (5.70); plus the price of one box of cookies (4.25) must be less or equal to Annie's money (18).
5.70n +4.25 ≤18
Solving for x:
5.70n ≤18 -4.25
5.70n ≤13.75
n ≤13.75/5.70
n ≤2.41
n ≤2 (rounded)
She can buy up to 2 bags of nuts
Tha answer for the problem is 9,432
