Can some one please check my answer

@Loser66 can you check my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You didn't answer the question, so we cannot "check" it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got A and B for choices

OpenStudy (phi):

Can you explain why you chose A and B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um no not really I sort of just guessed cause I dont know how to do the problem

OpenStudy (phi):

They are filling the cone with water. will the height of the water go up or go down ?

OpenStudy (phi):

if you are not sure, get a dixie cup and fill it with water from the faucet. Watch the level of the water carefully and see if it goes up or goes down.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It will go up

OpenStudy (phi):

now you should know that h'(t) is short for change in height with time if h'(t)=0 that means the change in height is 0... in other words the height is not changing what do you think h'(t) < 0 means ? the change in height is negative meaning over time the height is getting smaller. what does h'(t)> 0 mean ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

getting greater going positive

OpenStudy (phi):

change in height is h (later time) - h(now) if h is bigger later on, than it is now, h(later)- h(now) is positive (> 0)

OpenStudy (phi):

you know the height is going up (getting bigger), so the change in height is positive can you pick the answer for h'(t) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so E is an answer and C is an answer?

OpenStudy (phi):

E is correct. h''(t) is trickier. h''(t) is the change in the change in h(t) when the cone is empty, and you put in some water, the height goes up but notice it takes only a little bit of water to make the height go up a lot. near the top of cone where it is wide, that same about of water does not make the height go up as much.

OpenStudy (phi):

in other words h'(t) at the beginning is bigger than h'(t) at the end the change in h'(t) is negative. in other words h''(t) < 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok is C correct

OpenStudy (phi):

I think you have to re-read what I posted and think about it a little harder. If you don't understand it, you can ask a question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so then not C and D is the other answer correct?

OpenStudy (phi):

can you be more clear? not C and D confuses me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is D not C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any better

OpenStudy (phi):

I think it is clearer to say the answer is D (if it is D then it can't be C, so no need to say not C) The final answer is D and E. right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
