Two boats leave a dock at the same time. One boat travels south at 32 mi divided by hr32 mi/hr and the other travels east at 60
TEA [102]

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

Can someone help me with this math homework please!
Daniel [21]

Answer:

1st, 2nd and 6th options

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3} - x + \frac{1}{6} = 6x ( multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions )

4 - 6x + 1 = 36x ← option 1 will have the same solution set

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Adding the 2 fractions on the left side gives

\frac{4}{6} +\frac{1}{6} - x = 6x , that is

\frac{5}{6} - x = 6x ← option 2 will have the same solution set

------------------------------------------------------------------------

From

4 - 6x + 1 = 36x ( add 6x to both sides )

5 = 42x ← option 6 will have the same solution set
