Water is being pumped into a conical tank that is 8 feet tall and has a diameter of 10 feet. If the water is being pumped in at

a constant rate of 3/5 cubic feet per hour, at what rate is the depth of the water in the tank changing when the tank is half full

The rate of change of the depth of water in the tank when the tank is half

filled can be found using chain rule of differentiation.

When the tank is half filled, the depth of the water is changing at  <u>1.213 × </u>

<u>10⁻² ft.³/hour</u>.

Reasons:

The given parameter are;

Height of the conical tank, h = 8 feet

Diameter of the conical tank, d = 10 feet

Rate at which water is being pumped into the tank, = 3/5 ft.³/hr.

Required:

The rate at which the depth of the water in the tank is changing when the

tank is half full.

Solution:

The radius of the tank, r = d ÷ 2

∴ r = 10 ft. ÷ 2 = 5 ft.

Using similar triangles, we have;

\dfrac{r}{h} = \dfrac{5}{8}

The volume of the tank is therefore;

V = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h}

r = \dfrac{5}{8} \times h

Therefore;

V = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot \left(  \dfrac{5}{8} \times h\right)^2 \cdot h = \dfrac{25 \cdot h^3 \cdot \pi}{192}

By chain rule of differentiation, we have;

\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \mathbf{\dfrac{dV}{dh} \cdot \dfrac{dh}{dt}}

\dfrac{dV}{dh}=\dfrac{d}{h} \left(  \dfrac{25 \cdot h^3 \cdot \pi}{192} \right) = \mathbf{\dfrac{25 \cdot h^2 \cdot \pi}{64}}

\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{3}{5}  \ ft.^3/hour

Which gives;

\dfrac{3}{5} =  \mathbf{\dfrac{25 \cdot h^2 \cdot \pi}{64} \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}}

When the tank is half filled, we have;

V_{1/2} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times  \dfrac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 5^2 \times 8 =\mathbf{ \dfrac{25 \cdot h^3 \cdot \pi}{ 192}}

Solving gives;

h³ = 256

h = ∛256

\dfrac{3}{5} \times \dfrac{64}{25 \cdot h^2 \cdot \pi} = \dfrac{dh}{dt}

Which gives;

\dfrac{dh}{dt} = \dfrac{3}{5} \times \dfrac{64}{25 \cdot (\sqrt[3]{256}) ^2 \cdot \pi} \approx \mathbf{1.213\times 10^{-2}}

When the tank is half filled, the depth of the water is changing at  <u>1.213 × 10⁻² ft.³/hour</u>.

Given an exponential function for compounding interest A(x)= P(.82)^x what is the rate of change
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

For the answer to the question above, it is -18% because to find rate we subtract the rate, in this case, is .82 or 82% - 1 or 100% and that would give you the rate, in this case, its decreasing by an 18%

Bumek [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If he jogged x miles every day, and he jogged a total distance of y miles, then he runs for y/x days. This is an extension of the d=rt or distance equals rate times time.

We plug in for y and x to get that he runs for 5~1/3~~/~~1/6.

So, the answer is \boxed{D} and we're done!
