the radius of a right circular cone is increasing at a rate of 2 inches per second and its height is decreasing at a rate of 5 inches per second. at what rate is the volume of the cone changing when the radius is 40 inches and the height is 40 inches?

Answers

Using the concepts of Application of derivative, we got that 1657.92inches³/sec rate  of the  volume of the cone changing when the radius is 40 inches and the height is 40 inches for a right circular cone.

We know that volume of right circular cone is given by =(1/3πr²h)

We are given rate of change of radius(dr/dt) and rate of change of the height(dh/dt)

Therefore ,differentiating the volume with respect to time and applying the chain rule.

dV/dt = [(1/3)πr²×(dh/dt)+ (1/3)π·2·r·(dr/dt)·h]

=>dV/dt=[(1/3)× π×r × [(r×dh/dt)+2h×(dr/dt)]]

We are given that dr/dt=2inc/sec and dh/dt= -5inc/sec

So, on putting the values, we get

=>dV/dt=[ ( (1/3)×3.14×40)×[40×(-5)+2×40×2]]

=>dV/dt=[0.33×3.14×40×[-200+160]

=>dV/dt=[0.33×3.14×40×(-40)]

=>dV/dt= -1657.92inches³/sec(negative sign denote volume is decreasing)

Hence, if the radius of a right circular cone is increasing at the rate of 2 inches per second and its height is decreasing at the rate of 5 inches per second.  the rate of  the volume of the cone changing when the radius is 40 inches and the height is 40 inches is 1657.92inches³/sec.

D
n+ 8 could be positive or negative or zero

Answers

Required correct statement is n+ 8 could be positive or negative or zero.

What is a negative number?

A negative number is any number less than zero. For example, -8 is a number that is seven less than 0. It may seem odd to say that a number is less than 0. After all, we often think that zero means nothing.

Option A: n + 8 is always positive is not correct since n is negative and adding a positive number (8) to a negative number will give a negative or zero result.

Option B: n + 8 is always negative is not correct since adding a positive number (8) to a negative number will give a negative or zero result, not always negative.

Option C: n + 8 cannot be zero is a wrong statement, if we put value of n = -8 then we will get zero as answer.

Option D: n + 8 could be positive or negative or zero is correct since it depends on the value of n.

If n is a large negative number, n + 8 could still be negative. If n is a small negative number or zero, n + 8 could be positive or zero.

A farmer wants to construct a fence around an area of 2400 square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence parallel to one of the sides of the rectangle. What dimension should the fenced area have in order to minimize the length of fencing used?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the sides of the rectangular field should be 40 ft (smaller value) and 60 ft (larger value) respectively.

Let L = length of rectangle area and W = width of rectangle area.

Let the length of the side that divides the area be parallel to the width of the area.

The total length of fencing F = 2L + 2W + W

F = 2L + 3W

Since the area is a rectangle, its area is A = LW

Since the area = 2400 square feet,

LW  = 2400 ft²

So, L = 2400/W

Substituting L into F, we have

F = 2L + 3W

F = 2(2400/W) + 3W

F = 4800/W + 3W

To find the value at which F is minimum, we differentiate F with respect to W.

So, dF/dW = d(4800/W + 3W)/dW

dF/dW = -4800/W² + 3

Equating dF/dW to zero, we have

-4800/W² + 3 = 0

-4800/W² = - 3

W² = -4800/-3

W² = 1600

W = √1600

W = 40 ft

To determine if this is a value that gives minimum F, we differentiate F twice to get

d²F/dW² = d(-4800/W² + 3)/dW

d²F/dW² = 14400/W³ + 0

d²F/dW² = 14400/W³

substituting W = 40 into the equation, we have

d²F/dW² = 14400/(40)³

d²F/dW² = 14400/64000

d²F/dW² = 0.225

Since d²F/dW² = 0.225 > 0, W = 40 is a minimum point for F

Since L = 2400/W

So, L = 2400/40

L = 60 ft

So, the lengths of the sides of the rectangular field should be 40 ft (smaller value) and 60 ft (larger value) respectively.

Solve for y.

Answers

The solution for y and x in the expressions given as 2/5(10y-5) =2y + -10 and x − 3.28 = −5.34 are y = 6 and x = -2.06, respectively

How to determine the solution to the variable x and y in the expressions?

Variable y

From the question, the algebraic expression is given as

2/5(10y-5) =2y + -10

Open the brackets

This gives

4y - 2 = 2y + -10

Collect the like terms in the above equation

So, we have the following representation

4y - 2y = 10 + 2

Evaluate the like terms

2y = 12

Divide by 2

y = 6

Variable x

Here, we have

x − 3.28 = −5.34

There is a constant to add to or subtract from the expression

So, we add 3.28 to both sides

x = 3.28 − 5.34

Evaluate the like terms

x = -2.06

Hence, the solution is x = -2.06

A rectangle is 2 feet 11 inches wide and 1 yard 2 feet 1 inch long. What is the perimeter of the
rectangle in feet?
A 8 feet
B 24 feet
C 16 feet
D 18 feet

Answers

The perimeter of the rectangle is 16 feet.

The correct answer is an option (C)

In this question, the length of the rectangle is,

l = 1 yard 2 feet 1 inch

l = 3 feet + 2 feet + 0.0833 feet

l = 5.0833 feet

And the width of the rectangle is,

w = 2 feet 11 inches

w = 2 feet + 0.9167 feet

w = 2.9167 feet

So, the perimeter of the rectangle would be,

P = 2(l + w)

P = 2 * (5.0833 + 2.9167)

P = 16 feet

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 16 feet.

a. find the inverse of this function. what do the outputs of the inverse function represent?
b. use the inverse function to find when the percentage is 2.3%.

Answers

The evaluation of the inverse of the function, f(x) = -0.086·x + 2.92 are;

a. The inverse of the function is f⁻¹(x)  = -11.63·x + 33.95

B. The inverse function gives the number of year after 2000 when the percentage of children taking antidepressants is equal to x

b. The percentage of children taking antidepressant is 2.3% in 2007

What is the inverse of a function?

The inverse of a function is a function that gives the input from the output such that it undoes the function's effect.

The function that indicates the percentage of children taking that take antidepressants from from the year 2004 to the year 2009 is presented as follows;

f(x) = -0.086·x + 2.92

x = The number of years after the year 2000

The inverse of the function can be obtained by making x the subject of the function formula as follows;

f(x) = -0.086·x + 2.92

f(x) - 2.92 = -0.086·x

x = (f(x) - 2.92)/(-0.086) ≈ -11.63·f(x) + 33.95

x  ≈ -11.63·f(x) + 33.95

Which through plugging in f⁻¹(x) = x, and f(x) = x,

Indicates;

f⁻¹(x) = -11.63·x + 33.95

In the inverse function, the argument is the percentage, while the output is the number of years, f⁻¹(x)

When x = 2.3,

f⁻¹(2.3) = -11.63×2.3 + 33.95 ≈ 7.2

The inverse when the percentage is 2.3% is 7.2 years

a. The inverse function is f⁻¹(x) = -11.63·x + 33.95

The output of the inverse function represents the number of years since 2000 when the percentage of the children taking antidepressants is x. The correct option is option B

b. The year in which the number of children taking antidepressant equals 2.3% is 2,000 + 7 = 2007

Answers

According to the given standard deviation, the bag that the student brought has more than 1 gram of potato chip than the average chip bag.

Standard deviation:

Standard deviation refers the measure of how scattered the data is in relation to the mean.

Given,

The student wanted to know if the bags of potato chips they were buying contained the correct weight of chips compared to the listed weight on the bag of 42.5 grams.

And the student collected a sample of 30 bags of chips and weighed each bag. Here the average weight of the bags they collected was 41 grams with a standard deviation of 1.6 grams. assume a 95% level of confidence.

Now, we have to find the confidence interval for this situation.

From, the given details, we have obtained the following things,

Bag weight = 42.5 gram

Number of samples = 30

Average weight = 41 grams

Standard deviation = 1.6 grams

Confidence level = 95%

So, according to the formula of confidence interval,

The value of it is calculated as,

=> CI = x ±  Z × s / √n

When we apply the values on the formula, then we get,

=> CI = 41 ± 1.9600 × 1.6 / √30

=> CI = 41 ± 0.573

Therefore, Confidence Interval 41 ±0.573 (±1.4%) [40.427 – 41.573].

While we compare this one with the given bag weight we get the difference of,

=> 42.5 - 41.5

=> 1

Therefore, the bag that the student brought has more than 1 gram of potato chip than the average chip bag.

The equation in vertex form would be y = [tex]2(x+5)^{2}[/tex] -6

What is vertex of a curve?

The vertex of a parabola is the point where the parabola crosses its axis of symmetry.  If the coefficient of the x2 term is positive, the vertex will be the lowest point on the graph, the point at the bottom of the “ U ”-shape.  If the coefficient of the x2 term is negative, the vertex will be the highest point on the graph, the point at the top of the “ U ”-shape.

The standard equation of a parabola is

y=a[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+bx+c .

But the equation for a parabola can also be written in "vertex form":

y= a(x-h)² +k

if the curve passes through (-3, 2) and the coordinates of vertex h = -5, K= -6, then we can find a by simple substitution

2 = a[tex](-3 + 5)^{2}[/tex] - 6

2 = a([tex]2^{2}[/tex]) - 6

2 = 4a - 6

collecting like terms

4a = 2 + 6

4a = 8

dividing both sides by 4

a = 8/4

a = 2.

So the equation of parabola in vertex form is y = 2[tex](x+5)^{2}[/tex] - 6

In conclusion, the equation of parabola in vertex form is 2[tex](x+5)^{2}[/tex] - 6

A population of beetles grows by 25% every month. If the beetle population starts with 1,600 beetles, which equation represents the population, P, after t months?

Answers

The equation which represents the population, P after t months is:

y = 1600(1+ 0.25)^t.

Given,

A population of beetles grows by 25% every month.

the beetle population starts with 1,600 beetles,

we are asked to determine the equation which represents the population, P after t months.

The equation for the population is:

Pf = Pi(1-r)^t

where pf = final value

pi = initial value

r = growth factor

t = time in years.

substitute the values in the equations.

let y represent the final population after t years.

r = 25%

convert percentage to decimal.

r = 0.25

y = 1600(1+ 0.25)^t

Hence we get the required answer.

a student 6 ft tall is standing 20 feet away from a 35 ft tall flagpole. The flagpole is 60 ft away from the building. From the student point of view, the top of the flag pole is lined up perfectly with the top of the building, how talls the building

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

between the student and the flagpole we create a trapezoid with the line of sight to the top of the flagpole and the ground connection between the student's feet and the flagpole being the other 2 sides.

and between the flagpole and the building we create a similar trapezoid.

the line of sight to the top of the building and the ground connection between the flagpole and the building are the other 2 sides.

since both shapes are created from the same projection (the "projector" is somewhere behind the student on the ground), they are truly and mathematically similar.

that means that the angles of one trapezoid are the same as in the other trapezoid.

and - there must be one constant scale factor between all the sides (or for any other lengths in or on the trapezoids) of one trapezoid to the sides of the other trapezoid.

we know the ground distances and how they relate :

20 ft to 60 ft

that means 20/60 = 1/3

so, any length of the first (smaller) trapezoid is 1/3 of the corresponding length of the second (larger) trapezoid.

so, we know the height of the flagpole (35 ft).

the height of the building must follow the same ratio (scaling factor) as the ground distances.

flagpole height = building height × 1/3

3× flagpole height = building height = 3×35 = 105 ft

the building is 105 ft tall.

Raja manages a perfume store. She makes 0,4-ounce samples from a 2.8- ounce bottle of perfume. How many perfume samples cán Raja make?​

Answers

Raja can make 7 perfume samples from a 2.8 ounce bottle of perfume.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

Raja manages a perfume store. She makes 0.4-ounce samples from a 2.8- ounce bottle of perfume.

So, we have the following expressions:

1 bottle of perfume sample = 0.4 ounce

Total ounces of perfume in the bottle = 2.8 ounce

Now, we can easily find the number of perfume samples that can be made from this perfume by dividing the total ounces of perfume in bottle by the ounces of perfume sample.

Number of perfume samples = 2.8/0.4

Number of perfume samples = 7

Hence, Raja can make 7 perfume samples from a 2.8 ounce bottle of perfume.
