What exactly are you asking?
Question:
A lighthouse is located on an island 3 miles from the closest point on a straight shoreline. If the lighthouse light rotates clockwise at a constant rate of 9 revolutions per minute, how fast does the beam of light move towards the point on the shore closest to the island when it is 52 miles from that point
Answer:
The beam of light moves at
miles/min
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is illustrated with the attached image
Taking the instructions in the question, one at a time.
A revolution of 9 per minute implies that:


Take tan of the angle in the attachment:

Differentiate both sides with respect to time

Rewrite as:

In calculus:
-- Chain rule
So:

In trigonometry:

So:

Recall that:






Recall that: 


Multiply both sides by 3



miles/min
Hence:
The beam of light moves at
miles/min
Answer:
55/96
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area, we need to multiply <em>l x w</em>
<em>Take the length 11/12 and the width 5/8 and multiply - </em>
11 times 5 = 55
12 times 8 = 96
<em>Answer:</em> 55/96
Answer:
C is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
x-7≤3x+1
+7 +7
x≤3x+8
-3x -3x
-2x≤8
/-2 /-2
x≥-4
The inequality symbol reverses when divided/multiplied by a negative term.
