A map scale shows 1 cm = 300 km.

A trough has ends shaped like isosceles triangles, with width 5 m and height 7 m, and the trough is 12 m long. Water is being pu

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=21 \text{m/min}$

the rate of change of height when the water is 1 meter deep is 21 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the volume of the trough given its dimensions and shape: (it has a prism shape so we can directly use that formula OR we can multiply the area of its triangular face with the length of the trough)

$V = \dfrac{1}{2}(bh)\times L$

here L is a constant since that won't change as the water is being filled in the trough, however 'b' and 'h' will be changing. The equation has two independent variables and we need to convert this equation so it is only dependent on 'h' (the height of the water).

As its an isosceles triangle we can find a relationship between b and h. the ratio between the b and h will be always be the same:

$\dfrac{b}{h} = \dfrac{5}{7}$

$b=\dfrac{5}{7}h$ this can be substituted back in the volume equation

$V = \dfrac{5}{14}h^2L$

the rate of the water flowing in is:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 6$

The question is asking for the rate of change of height (m/min) hence that can be denoted as: $\frac{dh}{dt}$

Using the chainrule:

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{dh}{dV}\times \dfrac{dV}{dt}$

the only thing missing in this equation is dh/dV which can be easily obtained by differentiating the volume equation with respect to h

$V = \dfrac{5}{14}h^2L$

$\dfrac{dV}{dh} = \dfrac{5}{7}hL$

reciprocating

$\dfrac{dh}{dV} = \dfrac{7}{5hL}$

plugging everything in the chain rule equation:

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{dh}{dV}\times \dfrac{dV}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{7}{5hL}\times 6$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{42}{5hL}$

L = 12, and h = 1 (when the water is 1m deep)

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{42}{5(1)(12)}$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=21 \text{m/min}$

the rate of change of height when the water is 1 meter deep is 21 m/min

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Your answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 = Five tenths

and

0.05 = five hundredths

This is because 0.5 is like 50 cents and 0.05 is like 5 cents

The rest are wrong because A: 0.05 simply can't be bigger than 0.5

B is wrong because they aren't equal to each other

and D is wrong because 0.05 + 0.5 = 0.55

An investment made in the stock market decreased at a rate of 2.2% per year for 10 years. What is the current value of

never [62]

Answer:

$800,500 (nearest dollar)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario can be modeled as an exponential equation.

General form of an exponential function:

$f(x)=ab^x$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

The initial value (a) is the value of the investment.

Therefore, a = 1,000,000.

If the investment decreases by 2.2% each year, then it will be 97.8% of the previous year.

Therefore, b = 97.8% = 0.978.

Substitute these values into the formula to create a general equation for the scenario:

$f(x)=1000000(0.978)^x$

(where x is the time, in years).

To find the value of the investment after 10 years, substitute x = 10 into the formula:

$\implies f(10)=1000000(0.978)^{10}=800500.1586$

Therefore, the value of the investment after 10 years is $800,500 (nearest dollar).

PJ will begin her cake deliveries at 12:20 . She asked to remind her 30 minutes before she has to leave. What time should I remi

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

At 11:50

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract the hours and the minutes separately

12: 20

- 0: 30

12: -10

2. If the minutes are negative, subtract 1 from the hours and add 60 to the minutes.

12: -10

- 1: + 60

11: 50

You should remind PJ about her deliveries at 11:50.
