Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a pretty basic related rates problem. I'm going to go through this just like I do in class when I'm teaching it to my students.

We see we have a snowball, which is a sphere. We are talking about the surface area of this sphere which has a formula of

S=4\pi r^2

In the problem we are given diameter, not radius. What we know about the relationship between a radius and a diameter is that

d = 2r so

\frac{d}{2}=r Now we can have the equation in terms of diameter instead of radius. Rewriting:

S=4\pi(\frac{d}{2})^2 which simplifies to

S=4\pi(\frac{d^2}{4}) and a bit more to

S=\pi d^2 (the 4's cancel out by division). Now that is a simple equation for which we have to find the derivative with respect to time.

\frac{dS}{dt}=\pi*2d\frac{dD}{dt} Now let's look at the problem and see what we are given as far as information.

The rate at which the surface area changes is -3.8, and we are looking for \frac{dD}{dt}, the rate at which the diameter is changing, when the diameter is 13. Filling in:

-3.8=\pi(2)(13)\frac{dD}{dt} and solving for the rate at which the diameter is changing:

-\frac{3.8}{26\pi}=\frac{dD}{dt} and divide to get

\frac{dD}{dt}=-.459\frac{cm}{min} Obviously, the negative means that the diameter is decreasing.

A ten-inch candle is being burned at both ends. one end burns at the rate of one inch per hour; the other end, one-and-a-half in
Sergio [31]
First keep in mind that the center is 5 inches...let L and R be the left and right positions of the two flames...

L=h and R=10-1.5h  where h is in hours....

The two flames meet when L=R so we can say:

h=10-1.5h  add 1.5h to both sides

2.5h=10  divide both sides by 2.5

h=4

So the flames will meet in five hours, using either original equation we can find this position, I'll use L=h..

L=4

So the position of the flames is 4" from the end.  The questions ask how far this point is from the center so:

5-4=1"

So the flames meet 1 inch from the center.
