Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+6)/2=56

x^2(6x)=112

x^2(6x)-112=0

By trial and error, we can try base =1, height = 7, etc

base =8

height = 14

When the area in square units of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units, the radius is...

enot [183]

Answer:

c. $\frac{1}{\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the area in square units of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units

We will use derivatives to solve our given problem.

We know that area (A) of a circle is equal to $A=\pi r^2$ .

Let us find derivative of area function with respect to time.

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2)$

Bring out constant:

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\pi \frac{d}{dt}(r^2)$

Using power rule and chain rule, we will get:

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\pi(2r)* \frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r*\frac{dr}{dt}$ Here $\frac{dr}{dt}$ represents change is radius with respect to time.

We have been given that area of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$2\pi r* \frac{dr}{dt}=2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$2\pi r=2$

$\frac{2\pi r}{2\pi}=\frac{2}{2\pi}$

$r=\frac{1}{\pi}$

Therefore, the radius is $\frac{1}{\pi}$ and option 'c' is the correct choice.

Define and compare radian measure to degree measure

Lelechka [254]

Radian: is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathmatics.
degree: is a measuement of plane angle, defined by representing a full rotation as 360 degrees.

Both are two units for measuring angles. There are at least four such units, but degrees and radians are most likely to encounter high school and college.
