To multiply fractions, multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by the numerator and denominator of the second fraction. For example, 1/2•3/4. 1 times 3= 3. 2 times 4= 8. I hope this helped!

Hello there!

To multiply fractions...

Simplify the fractions if not in lowest terms.

Multiply the numerators of the fractions to get the new numerator.

Multiply the denominators of the fractions to get the new denominator.

The radius of a right circular cylinder is increasing at the rate of 7 in./sec, while the height is decreasing at the rate of 6

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$\approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate of change of radius of cylinder:

$\dfrac{dr}{dt} = +7\ in/sec$

(This is increasing rate so positive)

Rate of change of height of cylinder:

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} = -6\ in/sec$

(This is decreasing rate so negative)

To find:

Rate of change of volume when r = 20 inches and h = 16 inches.

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for Volume:

$V = \pi r^2h$

Differentiating it w.r.to 't':

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2h)$

Let us have a look at the formula:

$1.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (C.f(x)) = C\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} \ \ \ (\text{C is a constant})\\2.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x).g(x)) = f(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (g(x))+g(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x))$

$3.\ \dfrac{dx^n}{dx} = nx^{n-1}$

Applying the two formula for the above differentiation:

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi\dfrac{d}{dt}( r^2h)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\dfrac{d }{dt}( r^2)+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\times 2r \dfrac{dr }{dt}+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}$

Now, putting the values:

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi \times 16\times 2\times 20 \times 7+\pi\times 20^2\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 22 \times 16\times 2\times 20 +3.14\times 400\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 14080 -7536\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} \approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}$
