Slope is the rise/run.
5/20 is the slope but simplify it so it’s now 1/4

Answer: -1/4

Step-by-step explanation: The slope is rise over run. The ski run drops 5, so it would be -5, and the horizontal change of 20 would be the run, so you'd get -5 over 20 then you divide both by 5 and you get your answer of -1 over 4.

The edges of a cube increase at a rate of 2 cm divided by s. How fast is the volume changing when the length of each edge is 40

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the edge of the cube be a .

Given

$\frac{da}{dt} = 2 cm/s$

Volume V = a³

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3a^ 2\frac{da}{dt}$

= 3a² x 2

= 6a²

If a = 40 cm

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 6 \times 40\times40$

= 9600 cm³/s .
