Answer:

<u>The rate of decreasing of the length is 0.25 cm/s.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the ice cube is:

A_{ice}=6x^{2}

Where x is the side of the cube.

Let's take the derivative of A with respect to "t" to get the rate of change.

\frac{dA_{ice}}{dt}=12x\frac{dx}{dt}

We know that dA/dt = 6 cm²/s and x is 2 cm, so we just need to solve it for dx/dt which is the rate change of the length.

6=12(2)\frac{dx}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{1}{4}\: cm/s

Therefore, <u>the rate of decreasing of the length is 0.25 cm/s.</u>

I hope it helps you!

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Remove the parenthesis

   -x + 1 = -4x - 2

2. Get x alone

  -x + 1 = -4x - 2

  +1x        +1x

1=-3x - 2

+2      +2

3=-3x          -3x/-3= x      3/-3 = -1      

x=-1
