Answer:

The volume is increasing at a rate of 16286 in³/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The volume of a cone is given by:

V = \frac{1}{3}h\pi r^{2}

Where:    

r: is the radius

h: is the height

The rate of change of the volume can be calculated by using the chain rule:

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}[\frac{dh}{dt}r^{2} + h\frac{d(r^{2})}{dt}]

Since h = 4/3 r we have:

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}[\frac{d(\frac{4r}{3})}{dt}r^{2} + \frac{4r}{3}\frac{d(r^{2})}{dt}]

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4\pi}{9}[\frac{dr}{dt}r^{2} + r\frac{d(r^{2})}{dt}]        

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4\pi}{9}[\frac{dr}{dt}r^{2} + 2r^{2}\frac{dr}{dt}]    (1)    

With:

\frac{dr}{dt} = 3 in/min

r = 3 ft*\frac{12 in}{1 ft} = 36 in

And by entering the above values into equation (1) we have:

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4\pi}{9}[(3 in/min)*(36 in)^{2} + 2*(36 in)^{2}*3 in/min]

\frac{dV}{dt} = 16286 in^{3}/min

Therefore, the volume is increasing at a rate of 16286 in³/min.

I hope it helps you!

The original price of a stove is $570.00. If it has a 25% discount, find the selling price. *
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

$357.50

Step-by-step explanation:

25%×570.00

(25/100)×570.00

= $142.50

S.P= O.P-D.P

= (570.00-142.50)$

= $357.5

22. One kilometer is approximately 0.62 mile. What fraction represents this length?
bixtya [17]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

One kilometer is \frac{31}{50} miles

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>To convert a decimal to a fraction:</u>

1- Write the decimal as a fraction whose denominator is 1

2- Multiply both numerator and denominator by multiples of 10 to eliminate the decimal point

3- Simplify the fraction you have

<u>Now, for the given problem:</u>

<u>The given decimal is 0.62, following the above steps:</u>

<u>Step 1: </u>

0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1}

<u>Step 2:</u>

We have two digits after the decimal point, so to eliminate the decimal point, we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100

0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1} * \frac{100}{100} = \frac{62}{100}

<u>Step 3:</u>

We can note that, in the fraction obtained from step 2, both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2, so we simplify as follows:

\frac{62}{100} = \frac{62/2}{100/2} =\frac{31}{50}

Hope this helps :)
