Complete question is;

A 10 cm thick grindstone is initially 200 cm in diameter, and it is wearing away at a rate of 50 cm/hr. At what rate is its diameter decreasing?

Answer:

Diameter is decreasing at the rate of 5/(2πr) cm/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the stone is wearing away at a rate of 50 cm/hr. This means the volume is decreasing. Thus;

dV/dt = -50 cm/hr

Now, a grindstone is in the shape of a cylinder. Thus, volume of grindstone is;

V = πr²h

dV/dr = 2πrh

Now,to find the rate at which the diameter is decreasing, we'll write;

dr/dt = (dV/dt)/(dV/dr)

dr/dt = -50/(2πrh)

We are given;

Diameter = 200 cm

Radius; r = 200/2 = 100 cm

Thickness; h = 10 cm

Thus;

dr/dt = -50/(2π × r × 10)

dr/dt = -5/(2πr) cm/hr

The weight, y, in pounds, of kittens was tracked for the first 8 weeks after birth where t represents the number of weeks after
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mentioned relationship for the weight, in pounds, of the kitten with respect to time, in weeks, is

\hat y =1.7 +1.48t

Weight of the kitten after 10 weeks

\hat y =1.7 +1.48\times 10

\hat y =16.5 pounds

This modeled equation is based on the observation of the early age of a kitten where the kitten is in its growth period, but in the early stage the growth rate in the weight of the kitten was the same but the growth of any living beings continues till the adult stage. So, after some time, in real life situation, this weekly change in weight will become zero, So, this model is not suitable to measure the weight of the kitten over the larger time period.

Here, t= 10 weeks is nearby the observed time period, so the linearly modeled equation can be used to predict the weight.

Hence, the weight of the kitten after 10 weeks is 16.5 pounds.

Events M and N are independent events. In this scenario, if P(M) = 0.46 and P(M and N) = 0.138, then P(N) = .
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

P(N)=0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P(M)= 0.46, P(M and N)=0.138

Using P(M) ×P(N)= P(M and N)

⇒0.46×P(N)= 0.138

⇒P(N)= \frac{0.138}{0.46}

⇒P(N)=0.3

Which is a correct first step in solving the inequality –4(2x – 1) > 5 – 3x?distribute –4 to get –8x 4 > 5 – 3x.distribute
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

The first step in solving the inequality is:

to distribute -4 to get  -8x + 4> 5-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

a\cdot(b+c) =a\cdot b + a\cdot c

Given the inequality:

-4(2x-1)> 5-3x

Apply the distributive property we have;

-4 \cdot (2x) -4\cdot (-1)> 5-3x

Simplify:

-8x + 4> 5-3x

Therefore, the first step in solving the inequality is:

to distribute -4 to get  -8x + 4> 5-3x

What is the horizontal asymptote of f (x) =StartFraction negative 2 x Over x + 1 EndFraction? y = –2 y = –1 y = 0 y = 1
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

  y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any asymptotes of a rational function will be described by the quotient of the numerator and denominator (excluding any remainder).

  f(x)=\dfrac{-2x}{x+1}=-2+\dfrac{2}{x+1}

The horizontal asymptote is ...

  y = -2
