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!

The graph of a quadratic function contains the points
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Both Shawn and Brielle are correct. The function that represents a vertical stretch by a factor of 9 is f(x)=9×2.The function that represents a horizontal shrink by a factor of 3 is:   f(x)=(3x)2, which is equal to f(x)=9×2.

Additionally, if you wanted to verify that the given points are on the graph of both functions, you could substitute them into the functions to get true statements.
