Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is increasing is 68 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.
Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.
Let z represent the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
Therefore
z² = x² + y²
To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes
2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1
One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that
dx/dt = 32
dy/dt = 60
Distance = speed × time
Since t = 0.5 hour, then
x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles
y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles
z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900
z = √1156
z = 34 miles
Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes
2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60
68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600
68dz/dt = 4624
dz/dt = 4624/68
dz/dt = 68 mph
Answer:
(x - 5)² + (y + 3)² = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle in standard form is
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius
here (h, k) = (5, - 3) and r = 4, thus
(x - 5)² + (y - (- 3))² = 4², that is
(x - 5)² + (y + 3)² = 16 ← equation of circle
Answer:
The lower bound of 19.4 is 19.35
The sequence is geometric, so
for some constant r. From this rule, it follows that
and we can determine the first term to be
Now, by substitution we have
and so on down to (D)
(notice how the exponent on r and the subscript on a add up to n)
Answer:
The sample space is:
- (T,N): table height and brown
- (T, W): table height and white
- (T, K) : table height and black
- (B, N): bar height and brown
- (B, W): bar height and white
- (B, K): bar height and black
- (X, N): XL height and brown
- (X, W): XL height and white
- (W, K): XL height and black
Explanation:
The <em>sample space </em>is the set of all the possible outputs, i.e. the possible different combinations that can be choosen.
Use the letters T, B, and X to represent, respectively, table height, bar height, and XL height,
Use letters N, W, and K to represent, respectively, the colors brown, white and black.
Each combination consists of a height (T, B or X) and a color (N, W, K); thus, your sample space shall have 3 × 3 different combinations. These are:
- (T,N): table height and brown
- (T, W): table height and white
- (T, K) : table height and black
- (B, N): bar height and brown
- (B, W): bar height and white
- (B, K): bar height and black
- (X, N): XL height and brown
- (X, W): XL height and white
- (W, K): XL height and black
