Answer:

The maximum height of the watermelon is 74 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The watermelon reaches its maximum height when its velocity is zero. Mathematically speaking, velocity is the first derivative of the function height, that is:

v(t) = \frac{d}{dt} h(t) (1)

Where v(t) is the velocity, in feet per second.

If we know that h(t) = -16\cdot t^{2}+56\cdot t +25 and v(t) = 0\,\frac{ft}{s}, then the time associated with maximum height is:

v(t) = -32\cdot t +56 (2)

-32\cdot t + 56 = 0

t = 1.75\,s

Now we evaluate the function height at time found in the previous step: (t = 1.75\,s)

h(t) = -16\cdot t^{2}+56\cdot t +25

h(1.75) = 74\,ft

The maximum height of the watermelon is 74 feet.

When a cylindrical tank is filled with water at a rate of 22 cubic meters per hour, the level of water in the tank rises at a ra
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

r=\sqrt{10}\text{ m}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that when a cylindrical tank is filled with water at a rate of 22 cubic meters per hour, the level of water in the tank rises at a rate of 0.7 meters per hour. We are asked to find the approximate radius of tank in meters.

We will use volume of cylinder formula to solve our given problem as:

V=\pi r^2h, where,

r = Radius,

h = Height of cylinder.

Since the level of water in the tank rises at a rate of 0.7 meters per hour, so height of cylinder would be h = 0.7 meters at V=22\text{ m}^3.

Upon substituting these values in above formula, we will get:

22\text{ m}^3=\frac{22}{7}\cdot r^2(0.7\text{ m})

22\text{ m}^3=\frac{22}{10}\cdot r^2\text{ m}

\frac{10}{22}\cdot\frac{22\text{ m}^3}{\text{m}}=r^2

r^2=\frac{10}{22}\cdot\frac{22\text{ m}^3}{\text{m}}

r^2=10\text{ m}^2

Now, we will take positive square root of both sides as radius cannot be negative.

\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{10\text{ m}^2}

r=\sqrt{10}\text{ m}

Therefore, radius of tank would be approximately square root of 10 m.

QuestionIn PQR, sin P = 1/3, sin R = 2/3,and p = 9. Find the side length r.
mamaluj [8]

Lets draw our triangle:

Lets use the "Law of Sines" to find our side r:

\frac{p}{\sin P}=\frac{r}{\sin R}\rightarrow\frac{9}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{r}{\frac{2}{3}}\rightarrow9\times\frac{3}{1}\times\frac{2}{3}=r\rightarrow r=18

So r=18

At Hong's auto shop, it takes him 12 minutes to do an oil change and 18 minutes to do a tire change. Let x be the number of oil
-Dominant- [34]

Answer: 12x+18y ≤ 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality with the information given:

The product of the time that takes to do an oil change (12) and the number of oil changes(x); plus The product of the time that takes to do a tire change (18) and the number of tire changes; must be less or equal to  60 minutes (time available).

12x+18y ≤ 60

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
