Riley is holding an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. As usual, the cone has a small hole at the bottom, and ice cream is melting and dripping through the hole at a rate of half a cubic inch per minute. The cone has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 5 inches. How fast is the height of the ice cream changing when the height of the ice cream in the cone is 3 inches?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rate of change is-2572Ï€in

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

Given the cone has a radius of 2inches and a height of 5inches

02

Calculate volume in terms of height 

Calculating, we get

V=13Ï€r2hV=13Ï€25h2hV=475Ï€h3

03

Differentiating the function

Differentiating, we get

dVdt=475π3h2×dhdt-12=475π3(3)2×dhdtdhdt=-2572πin
