Answer:

p =4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Variation: Inversely

p = 12 when q = 45

Required

Determine p when q = 135

First, we need to determine the relationship between p and q

Since, it is an inverse variation.

The relationship is:

p\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{q}

Convert to an equation

p= k *\frac{1}{q}

p= \frac{k}{q}

Where k = constant of variation

Make k the subject

k = p * q

When p = 12 and q = 45

k = 12 * 45

k = 540

To solve for p when q = 135

Substitute 135 for q and 540 for k in p= \frac{k}{q}

p = \frac{540}{135}

p =4

A trough of water is 20 meters in length and its ends are in the shape of an isosceles triangle whose width is 7 meters and heig
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

a) Depth changing rate of change is 0.24m/min, When the water is 6 meters deep

b) The width of the top of the water is changing at a rate of 0.17m/min, When the water is 6 meters deep

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the attachment part II, there are similar triangles, so we have the following relation between them \frac{3.5}{10} =\frac{a}{h}, then a=0.35h.

a) As we have that volume is V=\frac{1}{2} 2ahL=ahL, then V=(0.35h^{2})L, so we can derivate it \frac{dV}{dt}=2(0.35h)L\frac{dh}{dt} due to the chain rule, then we clean this expression for \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{0.7hL}\frac{dV}{dt} and compute with the knowns \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{0.7(6m)(20m)}2m^{3}/min=0.24m/min, is the depth changing rate of change when the water is 6 meters deep.

b) As the width of the top is 2a=0.7h, we can derivate it and obtain \frac{da}{dt}=0.7\frac{dh}{dt}  =0.7*0.24m/min=0.17m/min The width of the top of the water is changing, When the water is 6 meters deep at this rate
