Answer:

The time it takes Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by speedboat = 6.11 hours

The time it takes Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by helicopter = 6.25 hours

since it takes less time for Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by taking the speedboat, her best choice to retrieve the artifact is to take the speedboat.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The elapsed time by which Ms. Croft missed the boat = 5 hours

The speed of the cruise ship = 528 mi/day

The speed of the speedboat = 100 miles in 2.5 hours

The speed of the helicopter = 90 mph

The time it would take Ms. Croft to arrive at the harbor = 3.5 hours

Therefore, we have;

The cruise ship's speed = 528 miles per 24 hours = 528/24 mph = 22 mph

The location of the cruise after the first 5 hours = 5 × 22 = 110 miles

The speed of the speedboat = 100 miles per 2.5 hours = 100/2.5 = 40 mph

By traveling with a speed boat

The time at which Ms. Croft will intercept the cruise ship is given by the following relation;

40 mph × t = 22 mph × t + 110 miles

Which gives;

40 mph × t - 22 mph × t = 110 miles

18 mph = 110 miles

t = 110 miles/(18 mph) = 55/9 hours ≈ 6.11 hours

By taking the helicopter, we have;

Upon arrival at the harbor, after 3.5 hours, we find

90 mph × t = 22 mph × t + 22 mph × 3.5 hours + 110 miles

90 mph × t - 22 mph × t = 22 mph × 3.5 hours + 110 miles

68 mph × t = 77 miles + 110 miles = 187 miles

t = 187 miles/(68 mph) = 11/4 hours = 2.75 hours

The total time it takes Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by taking the helicopter = 3.5 + 2.75 = 6.25 hours

Therefore, since it takes less time for Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by taking the speedboat, her best choice to retrieve the artifact is to take the speedboat.

How to find the derivative of an integral with bounds.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The statement of the fundamental theorem of calculus shows the upper limit of the integral as exactly the variable of differentiation. Using the chain rule in combination with the fundamental theorem of calculus we may find derivatives of integrals for which one or the other limit of integration is a function of the variable of differentiation.

A rectangle has an area of 226.1 square miles and a base of 13.3 miles. What is the height?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The width (in our case it is the height) of the rectangle equals 17 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to know the following...

Area of a rectangle = Length x Width

(in our case based on what you said length is the base and width is the height)

Now we just change the formula to our needs and get that...

Width = Area of the rectangle / Length

And so we get...

Width = Area of the rectangle / Length

Width = 226.1 / 13.3

Width = 17 miles
