The answer is about 4.8333!
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Add 1.5 to both sides:</em>
5/2x-1.5+1.5=3.5+1.5
5/2x=5
<em>Multiply both sides by 2/5</em>
(2/5)*(5/2x)=(2/5)*(5)
Answer:
The diameter decreases at the rate of 0.0796 cm/min when the diameter is 10 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
A snowball is spherical, so it's area is given by the following formula:

The radius is half the diameter so:



If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 5 cm2/min, find the rate at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 10 cm.
We have to find
when 

Applying implicit differentiation:
We have to variables(A and d), so:




The diameter decreases at the rate of 0.0796 cm/min when the diameter is 10 cm.
15 10/15
or 15 2/3
