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!

Question 3 Unsaved
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

DE given is

y''+8y'+15y=0, y(0)=0, y'(0)=1

Take Laplace on the DE

We get

s^2 Y(s) -sY(0) -y'(0)+8(sY(s)-y(0))+15Y(s) =0\\s^2 Y(s) -s(0) -1+8(sY(s)-0)+15Y(s) =0\\Y(s)(s^2+8s+15)-1=0\\Y(s) = \frac{1}{s^2+8s+15}

Simplify to get

Y(s) = \frac{1}{2}[ {\frac{1}{s+3} -\frac{1}{s+5} }]

Take inverse

y(t) = \frac{e^{-3t} -e^{-5t}}{2}

a culture started with 2000 bacteria. after 6 hours it grew to 2400 bacteria. predict how many bacteria will be present after 16
valentina_108 [34]
Hi!

Let's find how much bacteria it grows per hour. 
2400 - 2000 = 400
bacteria per (divided by) hour
400/6 = 66.7
After 16 hours...
66.7 x 16 = 1067.2
Plus the original amount of bacteria
1067.2 + 2400 = 3467.2

The answer is 3067.2

Hope this helps! :)

Simplify<br>1)5x+3=x+13<br>2)5/2x-1/X =1/6​
Artyom0805 [142]

Step-by-step explanation (Question 1):        

<u>Step 1: (Question 1): Subtract x from both sides.</u>

5x+3=x+13

5x+3−x=x+13−x

4x+3=13

<u>Step 2: (Question 1): Subtract 3 from both sides.</u>

4x+3−3=13−3

4x=10

<u>Step 3: (Question 1): Divide both sides by 4.</u>

4x/4 = 10/4

FIRST ANSWER: x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation (Question 2):      

<u>Step 1: (Question 2): Multiply by LCM</u>

15x^2 - 6 = x

<u>Step 2: (Question 2): Solve 15x^2</u>

15x^2 - 6 = x:

x = 2/3

x = -3/5

<u>Step 3: (Question 2): Solve</u>

ANSWER: x=0.666667 or x=−0.6

See Attachment 1 for question 1 steps (FULL)

See Attachment 2 for question 2 steps (FULL)

Answer:    

1)   x = 5/2

2)  x=0.666667 or x=−0.6

 

Hope this helps.

Can someone please help me with these two questions ​
Anarel [89]

Answer:

  23.  0.4583 seconds

  24.  0.0107 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you how to work it. You need to convert speed from miles per hour to feet (or inches) per second.

 90 mi/h = (90·5280 ft)/(3600 s) = 132 ft/s = (132·12 in)/s = 1584 in/s

__

23. The time it takes for the ball to travel 60.5 ft is ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (60.5 ft)/(132 ft/s) = 0.4583 s

It takes 458.3 milliseconds to reach home plate.

__

24. time = distance/speed

  time = (17 in)/(1584 in/s) = 0.0107 s

The ball is in the strike zone for 10.7 milliseconds.
