Increasing Definition and 468 Threads

In mathematics, a monotonic function (or monotone function) is a function between ordered sets that preserves or reverses the given order. This concept first arose in calculus, and was later generalized to the more abstract setting of order theory.

    Related rates problem for the dimensions of a cylinder

    TL;DR Summary: related rates problem The radius of a cylinder is increasing at a constant rate of 3 meters per minute. The volume remains a constant 1115 cubic meters. At the instant when the height of the cylinder is 44 meters, what is the rate of change of the height?

    How to find intervals where this function is decreasing and increasing?

    Please walk me step by step on how to do it (we don't have imaginary numbers so don't bring that up) Also how to put signs on the numbers line when I get minus in the root? (non solveable equation) Sorry for my English.

    Finding where this function is increasing or decreasing

    For this, I first try to work out where function is increasing My working is ##f'(x) = 12x^3 - 12x^2 - 24x## For increasing, ##12x(x^2 - x - 2) > 0## ##12x > 0## and ##(x - 2)(x + 1) > 0## ##x > 0## and ##x > 2## and ##x > -1## However, how do I combine those facts into a single domain...

    B Why does increasing the height of a water tower increase water pressure?

    Hello, I was wondering, for a fixed amount of water, why when the height of a water tower increases, the water pressure at the outlet of the pipe at the base of the tower increases ? I have often read on the internet that it would be caused by the weight of the water above the water at the base...

    I Reynolds Number and Turbulence: Why Does Increasing Density Affect Flow?

    hi. I have a question regarding rheology. the Reynolds number increases when density of a fluid increases. so the flow becomes more turbulent. but I wonder why it is that the flow becomes more turbulent when density increases. why is that?

    Can heat flow into a body without increasing the mean kinetic energy?
