Two cars are moving away from an intersection along roads that make a 90 degree angle. The first car is 100 feet from the inters

ection and is travelling at a rate of 30 ft/s. The second care is 150 feet away from the intersection and is travelling at a rate of 40ft/s. Find the rate of change of the distance between the cars after one second.

D = sqrt(x^2 + y^2); where x = 100 ft, y = 150 ft, dx/dt = 30ft/s, dy/dt = 40ft/s
After one second, x = 130 ft, y = 190 ft

ds/dt = (2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt)/(2sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = (2(130)(30) + 2(190)(40)) / 2sqrt(130^2 + 190^2) = (7,800 + 15,200) / 2sqrt(16,900 + 36,100) = 23,000 / 2sqrt(53,000) = 49.95 ft/s

Therefore, the rate of change of the distance between the cars after one second is approximately 50 ft/s.

Rocco has a weekly reading schedule, reading for 4.5 hours per day on some days and 3.5 hours per day on the other days. He read
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours

x + y = 7 (1)

4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)

From (1)

x = 7 - y

Substitute x = 7 - y into (2)

4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)

4.5(7 - y) + 3.5y = 25.5

31.5 - 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5

- 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5 - 31.5

-y = -6

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1)

x + y = 7 (1)

x + 6 = 7

x = 7 - 6

x = 1

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days
