Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Haven't seen a related rates problem in a while! These are fun! Not too bad when you keep your stuff organized. First, label what you've been given. If the radius is decreasing, then we have

$\frac{dr}{dt}=-.2$

We are told to find $\frac{dV}{dt}$ when r = 9.

Now we have to find the derivative of the volume of a sphere using implicit differentiation. The derivative is

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}\pi3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$

It looks like we have everything we need to solve for the unknown. The derivative is even already set up to solve for the change in volume. All we have to do now is plug in the values.

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}\pi3(81)(-.2)$

This does give us a negative number, -203.575 to be exact, but if you answer it without the negative, you say that the volume is decreasing at the rate of 203.575 cm/min cubed

How are a ruler, a yardstick, and a measuring tape the same? How are they different?

QveST [7]

They all use the metric unit to measure things (e.g. inches, centimeters, etc.)
As far as I know, I think the difference might be that a yardstick only measures 1 yard. It has 36 inches (which is 3 feet, which is also 1 yard).
A ruler usually is only 12 inches.
A measuring tape is usually 12 feet.
That's what I know.

Solve x2 – 12x + 59 = 0 for x.

mr_godi [17]

59 is a tough bird to deal with; its only factors are 1 and 59.

Thus, forget about factoring. Instead, use the quadratic formula, or solve the equation by completing the square.

Please note: x2 is ambiguous. Please write x^2 to indicate "the square of 2."

Here you have 1x^2 - 12x + 59 = 0, for which a=1, b=-12 and c=59.

Use the quadratic formula: x=[-b plus or minus sqrt(b^2-4ac)] / (2a)

to find the two roots. Notice that the "discriminant" b^2 - 4ac will be negative, meaning that your two roots will be "complex."

The lifetime of two light bulbs are modeled as independent and exponential random variables X and Y, with parameters lambda and

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

$\bf h(x)=max(\lambda,\mu) e^{-max(\lambda,\mu) x}\;(x\geq0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The PDF of X is

$\bf f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}\;(x\geq0)$

The PDF of Y is

$\bf g(x)=\mu e^{-\mu x}\;(x\geq0)$

The means of X and Y are respectively,

$\bf \displaystyle\frac{1}{\lambda}\;,\displaystyle\frac{1}{\mu}$

so we can see that the larger the parameter, the smaller the mean. Hence the PDF of Z = min(X, Y) is an exponential with the largest parameter of the two.

Therefore, the PDF of Z is

$\bf h(x)=max(\lambda,\mu) e^{-max(\lambda,\mu) x}\;(x\geq0)$
