The volume of a slice from a wedge |
2008-10-16 |
 |
Jeff pose la question : If I have a wedge shaped object (ie, a triangle of non-specific type
extruded along a length) and it is sliced from the two-corner base at
one end to the one-point tip at the other, what is the volume of the
upper (smaller) part as a percentage of the whole? I hope I have
explained it clearly enough. Thanks. Harley Weston lui répond. |

Concavity and the second derivative |
2008-10-15 |
 |
Christina pose la question : I'm having trouble solving for a second derivative for the following graphing question.
f(x) = (X^2+2x+4)/2x
using the quotient rule, I found:
f'(x) = (x^2-4)/(2x^2)
however, using the quotient rule again I can't seem to solve it (concavity):
f'''(x)=[(2x)(2x^2)-(x^2-4)(4x)]/[(2x^2)^2]
f''(x)=[(4x^3-(4x^3 -16x)]/4x^4
f''(x)=16x/4x^4
f''(x)=4/x^3
and making the equation equal to zero result in 0=4 which doesn't seem to make sense... Penny Nom lui répond. |

A cone shaped pile |
2008-10-10 |
 |
Nadine pose la question : I have a pile of wheat in the shape of a cone. I would like to know how much
wheat I have. I have found the equation "V=1/3 pie r squared h" , but it dosn't
work! The pile is 7 feet high, diameter is 50 feet, circumference is 185 feet.
I also measured the slope 19feet. (Probably not needed) You need to know that
wheat weighs 60 pounds per bushel, and I would like to know how many bushels
I have. Even if I could receive the # of Volume Bushels, I could convert that.
Can you help me?? Stephen La Rocque lui répond. |
