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!

Theo earns a base salary plus commission. At the end of September, he was paid $3,835.25 based on his monthly sales of $12,850.
hodyreva [135]

Theo's base salary  using a simultaneous equation approach is $2,996.22 .

In order to determine the base salary of Theo, we can express the two earnings and sales amounts using simultaneous equation, that we would solve to arrive at the base salary

Bear in mind that total earnings are determined as base salary plus commission

Let X be the base salary

Let R be the rate of commission

commission =sales*rate of commission

When earnings were $3,835.25 and sales is $12,850, we have the below equation:

X+(12,850*R)=3,835.25

X+12850R=3,835.25  .................... equation (1)

When earnings were $3,641 and sales is $9,875, we have the below equation:

X+(9,875*R)=3641

X+9875R=3641 .........................  equation (2)

subtract equation 2 from 1

2975R=194.25

R=194.25/2975

R=commission rate=6.52941176470588%

substitute for R in equation 1 to arrive at X(base salary)

X+(12850*6.52941176470588%)=3,835.25

X=3,835.25-(12850*6.52941176470588%)

X=base salary=$2,996.22
