A right circular cylinder is changing shape. The radius is decreasing at the rate of 2 inches/sec while it's height is increasin

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder is expressed as;

$V = \pi r^2 h$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dr} \frac{dr}{dt} +\frac{dV}{dh} \frac{dh}{dt}$

dV/dr = 2πrh

dV/dr = 2π(4)(6)

dV/dr = 48(3.14)

dV/dr = 150.72in³/m

dV/dh = πr²

dV/dh = 3.14(4)²

dV/dh = 50.24

Given

dh/dt = 5in/s

dr/dt = 2in/s

Substitute into the dV/dt

dV/dt = 150.72(2)+50.24(5)

dV/dt = 301.44 + 251.2

dV/dt= 552.640in³/s

The volume is changing at the rate of 552.640in³/s

he data set gives the number of hours it took each of the 10 students in a cooking class to master a particular technique. {5, 3

sergeinik [125]

The best measure of center tendency for this set of data would be the median. It is the best measurement because the data set has an outlier. The outlier is the 30. So to find the median we first order the data set and then find out if the set is an even or odd set. This set is even so we just chose the middle number. If the set was even, we would add the two center number and divide them by 2.

3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 30

The center tendency = 4
