<em>Here we are required to determine the initial monthly fee charged by the electric company.</em>

The initial fee charged by the electric company is; C = $10

To solve this, we need to evaluate the slope and intercepts of the equation of the straight line graph of the relation.

y = mx + c.

  • where m = slope of the relation.

  • and c = <em>intercept = the initial fee charged by the electric company</em>.

  • y = <em>Monthly charge at each time</em>.

  • x = Usage

To find the slope;

  • m = (y2 - y1)/(X2 - x1)

  • m = (28 -22)/(150 - 100)

  • m = 6/50

  • m = 0.12.

By substituting m into the equation y = mx + c, alongside a pair of values of usage and monthly charge, we can obtain the intercept, c (i.e the initial fee charged).

Therefore, m = 0.12 , y = 82 and X = 600;

we then have;

  • 82 = 0.12(600) + c.

  • C = 82 -72

  • C = $10.

Therefore, the initial fee charged by the electric company is; C = $10.

The radius of a cone is decreasing at a constant rate of 7 inches per second, and the volume is decreasing at a rate of 948 cubi
inessss [21]

Answer:

The height of cone is decreasing at a rate of 0.085131 inch per second.        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The radius of a cone is decreasing at a constant rate.

\displaystyle\frac{dr}{dt} = -7\text{ inch per second}

The volume is decreasing at a constant rate.

\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = -948\text{ cubic inch per second}

Instant radius = 99 inch

Instant Volume = 525 cubic inches

We have to find the rate of change of height with respect to time.

Volume of cone =

V = \displaystyle\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

Instant volume =

525 = \displaystyle\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h = \frac{1}{3}\pi (99)^2h\\\\\text{Instant heigth} = h = \frac{525\times 3}{\pi(99)^2}

Differentiating with respect to t,

\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi \bigg(2r\frac{dr}{dt}h + r^2\frac{dh}{dt}\bigg)

Putting all the values, we get,

\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi \bigg(2r\frac{dr}{dt}h + r^2\frac{dh}{dt}\bigg)\\\\-948 = \frac{1}{3}\pi\bigg(2(99)(-7)(\frac{525\times 3}{\pi(99)^2}) + (99)(99)\frac{dh}{dt}\bigg)\\\\\frac{-948\times 3}{\pi} + \frac{2\times 7\times 525\times 3}{99\times \pi} = (99)^2\frac{dh}{dt}\\\\\frac{1}{(99)^2}\bigg(\frac{-948\times 3}{\pi} + \frac{2\times 7\times 525\times 3}{99\times \pi}\bigg) = \frac{dh}{dt}\\\\\frac{dh}{dt} = -0.085131

Thus, the height of cone is decreasing at a rate of 0.085131 inch per second.

1. 60,30,90 right triangle. y will be hypotenuse/2, x will be
hypotenuse*sqrt(3)/2. So x = 16*sqrt(3)/2 = 8*sqrt(3), approximately 13.85640646 
y = 16/2 = 8  
2. 45,45,90 right triangle (2 legs are equal length and you have a right angle).
X and Y will be the same length and that will be hypotenuse * sqrt(2)/2. So 
x = y = 8*sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)/2 = 8*2/2 = 8 
 3. Just a right triangle with both legs of known length. Use the Pythagorean theorem 
x = sqrt(12^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(144 + 25) = sqrt(169) = 13  
4. Another right triangle with 1 leg and the hypotenuse known. Pythagorean theorem again. 
y = sqrt(1000^2 - 600^2) = sqrt(1000000 - 360000) = sqrt(640000) = 800  5. A 45,45,90 right triangle. One leg known. The other leg will have the same length as the known leg and the hypotenuse can be discovered with the Pythagorean theorem.  x = 6. y = sqrt(6^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(36+36) = sqrt(72) = sqrt(2 * 36) = 6*sqrt(2), approximately 8.485281374  
6. Another 45,45,90 triangle with the hypotenuse known. Both unknown legs will have the same length. And Pythagorean theorem will be helpful. 
x = y. 
12^2 = x^2 + y^2 
12^2 = x^2 + x^2 
12^2 = 2x^2 
144 = 2x^2 
72 = x^2 
sqrt(72) = x 
6*sqrt(2) = x 
x is approximately 8.485281374  
7. A 30,60,90 right triangle with the short leg known. The hypotenuse will be twice the length of the short leg and the remaining leg can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem. 
y = 11*2 = 22. 
x = sqrt(22^2 - 11^2) = sqrt(484 - 121) = sqrt(363) = sqrt(121 * 3) = 11*sqrt(3). Approximately 19.05255888  
8. A 30,60,90 right triangle with long leg known. Can either have fact that in that triangle, the legs have the ratio of 1:sqrt(3):2, or you can use the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, I'll use the 1:2 ratio between the unknown leg and the hypotenuse along with the Pythagorean theorem. 
x = 2y 
y^2 = x^2 - (22.5*sqrt(3))^2 
y^2 = (2y)^2 - (22.5*sqrt(3))^2 
y^2 = 4y^2 - 1518.75 
-3y^2 = - 1518.75 
y^2 = 506.25 = 2025/4 
y = sqrt(2025/4) = sqrt(2025)/sqrt(4) = 45/2 
Therefore: 
y = 22.5
 x = 2*y = 2*22.5 = 45  
9. Just a generic right triangle with 2 known legs. Use the Pythagorean theorem. 
x = sqrt(16^2 + 30^2) = sqrt(256 + 900) = sqrt(1156) = 34  
10. Another right triangle, another use of the Pythagorean theorem. 
x = sqrt(50^2 - 14^2) = sqrt(2500 - 196) = sqrt(2304) = 48
