A pyramid-shaped vat has square cross-section and stands on its tip. The dimensions at the top are 2 m × 2 m, and the depth is 5

m. If water is flowing into the vat at 3 m3 /min, how fast is the water level rising when the depth of water (at the deepest point) is 4 m? Note: the volume of any "conical" shape (including pyramids) is (1/3)(height)(area of base).

Answer:

the water level increases at a rate of 1.718 m/min when the depth is 4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of the pyramid is

V = (1/3)(height)(area of base) = 1/3 H*L²

For the diagonal in the pyramid

tg Ф = Side Length/ Height = L / H = x / h

where h= depth of water , x= side of the corresponding cross section

therefore x= L *h/H

the volume of the water is

v= 1/3 h*x² = 1/3 (L/H)² h³

in terms of time

v = Q*t

then

Q*t = 1/3 (L/H)² h³

h³ = 3*(H/L)² *Q *t

h = ∛(3*(H/L)² *Q *t) = ∛(3*(H/L)² *Q) *∛t = k* ∛t , where k=∛(3*(H/L)² *Q)

h = k* ∛t

then the rate of increase in depth is dh/dt

dh/dt = 1/3*k* t^(-2/3)

since

t = (h/k)³

dh/dt = 1/3*k* t^(-2/3) = 1/3*k* (h/k)³ ^(-2/3)  = 1/3*k* (h/k)^(-2) = 1/3 k³ / h²

=  1/3 (3*(H/L)²*Q) / h²  = (H/L)²*Q /h²

dh/dt= [H/(h*L)]²*Q

replacing values, when h=4m

dh/dt= [H/(h*L)]²*Q  = [5m/(4m*2m)]² * (3m³/min)= 1.718 m/min

Novosadov [1.4K]
The answer is 141.35 ft²

Before the first break, it was painted:
150 ft² ÷ 2 = 75 ft²
Now it's left:
150 ft² - 75 ft² = 75 <span>ft²

Before the second break, it was painted:
75 </span>ft² ÷ 2 = 37.5 <span>ft²
Now it's left:
75 </span>ft² - 37.5 ft² = 37.5 <span>ft²

Before the third break, it was painted:
37.5 </span>ft² ÷ 2 = 18.75 <span>ft²
</span><span>Now it's left:
</span>37.5 ft² - 18.75 ft² = 18.75 <span>ft²
</span>
<span>Before the fourth break, it was painted:
</span>18.75 ft² ÷ 2 = 9.375 <span>ft²
</span><span>Now it's left:
</span>18.75 ft² - 9.375 ft² = 9.375 <span>ft²
</span>
<span>Before the fourth break, it was painted:
</span>9.375 ft² ÷ 2 = 4.6875 <span>ft²
</span><span>Now it's left:
</span>9.375 ft² - 4.6875 ft² = 4.6875 ft²

Now, we will sum what he painted for now:
75 ft² + 37.5 ft² + 18.75 ft² + 9.375 ft² 4.6875 ft² = 141.3125 ft² ≈ 141.35 ft²

When the painter takes his fifth break, there will be <span>141.35 ft² of the wall painted.</span>

3y &lt;= -2x+18
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

  • A (-4, -3)
  • C (2, 4)
  • E (3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to use technology to plot the points and the functions to see what lies where. The first attachment shows such a plot.

_____

Of course, you can do the function evaluations. For example, testing answer B, we find ...

... 3·6 ≤ -2·1 +18 . . . . <em>false</em> for the first equation — not a solution

Checking all the points requires 10 function evaluations. When things get repetitive like that, I like to use a graphing calculator or spreadsheet.

_____

<em>Using a calculator</em>

The second attachment shows a calculator evaluating the viability of each point as a solution. The equations have been rearranged to ...

  • -2x -3y +18 ≥ 0
  • -x +4y +12 ≥ 0

This makes it easy to look at the evaluation results to see if the solution is viable or not.

The x-values of the points are entered into list L₁ and the y-values into L₂. The result of the first inequality above is in L₃ and the result for the second inequality is in L₄. Any negative value in L₃ or L₄ shows a point that is <u>not</u> part of the solution set. Points B and D fail to match problem requirements.

Points A, C, and E are in the solution set.
