The original volume equation looks like this: V = 1/3 * h * (x^2) 
After the side is reduced by 0.002, the new volume would look like V1 = 1/3 * h * (x-0.002) ^ 2 

Then we have: 
V-V1 = 1/3*h*(x^2) - 1/3*h*(x – 0.002) ^2 


= 1/3 * h *(x^2 - (x – 0.002) ^2) 


= 1/3 * h * (0.004x - 0.00004) 


The rate of decreasing is computed by:


(V-V1)/V * 100% = [1/3 * h *(0.004x - 0.00004)] / [1/3 * h * (x ^ 2)] * 100% this would be equal to (0.004x - 0.00004) / (x^2) * 100% 

So replace x by 200, you’ll get:

(0.004(200) - 0.00004) / (200^2) * 100% 

= 0.001999% is the rate of decreasing.

Answer:

End Behavior of a Function. The end behavior of a polynomial function is the behavior of the graph of f( x ) as x approaches positive infinity or negative infinity. The degree and the leading coefficient of a polynomial function determine the end behavior of the graph.

Which of the following is a reasonable estimated answer to the following problem?
bulgar [2K]
989,867 \approx 1,000,000
999 \approx 1000

\implies  \frac{989,867}{999} \approx  \frac{1,000,000}{1000}
\frac{1,000,000}{1000} = 1000

So the answer is approximately 1000.

the elevator of new orleans, louisiana is on average 8 ft below sea level. the elevation of EL Centro, california is 39ft below
Svetllana [295]
The difference in elevation equals subtraction. In other words 39ft subtracted by 8ft equals 31ft. So New Orleans, Louisiana is 31ft ABOVE sea level compared to EL Centro, California.
