A man starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 3 ft/s from a point 500

ft due east of P. At what rate are the people moving apart 15 min after the woman starts walking? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

<span>4.98 ft/s Let's determine the distance between the man and the woman for the moment that she's been walking 15 minutes. For this you can create a right triangle where one leg is 500 ft long (the east west difference between their locations) and the other leg is (distance man walked for 20 minutes + distance woman walked for 15 minutes). So Distance man walked = 20 min * 60 s/min * 2 ft/s = 2400 ft. Distance woman walked = 15 min * 60 s/min * 3 ft/s = 2700 ft. So the north south different in the man and woman's location is 2400+2700 = 5100 ft and will be increasing by 5 ft/sec. Creating a function of time (in seconds) for the distance the two people are apart is f(t) = sqrt(500^2 + (5100 + 5t)^2) where t = number of seconds from the 15 minutes the woman has been walking. For rate of change, you want the first derivative of the function. So let's calculate it. f(t) = sqrt(500^2 + (5100 + 5t)^2) f(t) = sqrt((5100 + 5t)^2 + 250000) f'(t) = d/dt[ sqrt((5100 + 5t)^2 + 250000) ] f'(t) = 0.5((5t + 5100)^2 + 250000)^(-0.5) * d/dt[ (5t + 5100)^2 + 250000 ] f'(t) = d/dt[ (5t + 5100)^2 ] / (2 * sqrt((5t + 5100)^2 + 250000)) f'(t) = 2(5t + 5100) * d/dt[ 5x + 5100 ]/(2 * sqrt((5t + 5100)^2 + 250000)) f'(t) = 5(5t + 5100/sqrt((5t + 5100)^2 + 250000) f'(t) = (25t + 25500)/sqrt((5t + 5100)^2 + 250000) Now calculate f'(t) for t = 0. So f'(t) = (25t + 25500)/sqrt((5t + 5100)^2 + 250000) f'(0) = (25*0 + 25500)/sqrt((5*0 + 5100)^2 + 250000) f'(0) = 25500/sqrt((5100)^2 + 250000) f'(0) = 25500/sqrt(26010000 + 250000) f'(0) = 25500/sqrt(26260000) f'(0) = 25500/5124.45119 f'(0) = 4.976142626 ft/sec So the man and woman are moving away from each other at the rate of 4.98 ft/s.</span>

Answer:

<h2>b = 15°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If Pq = RQ then ΔPQR is the isosceles triangle. The angles QPR and PRQ have the same measures.

We know: The sum of the measures of the angeles in the triangle is equal 180°. Therefore we have the equation:

m∠QPR + m∠PRQ + m∠RQP = 180°

We have

m∠QPR = m∠PRQ and m∠RQP = 60°

Therefore

2(m∠QPR) + 60° = 180°       <em>subtract 60° from both sides</em>

2(m∠QPR) = 120°           <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

m∠QPR = 60° and m∠PRQ = 60°

Therefore ΔPRQ is equaliteral.

ΔPSR is isosceles. Therefore ∠SPR and ∠PRS are congruent. Therefore

m∠SPR = m∠PRS

In ΔAPS we have:

m∠SPR + m∠PRS + m∠RSP = 180°

2(m∠SPR) + 90° = 180°            <em>subtract 90° from both sides</em>

2(m∠SPR) = 90°             <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

m∠SPR = 45° and m∠PRS = 45°

m∠PRQ = m∠PRS + b

Susbtitute:

60° = 45° + b           <em>subtract 45° from both sides</em>

15° = b

What is the measure of (2x+94) = (8x+10)
Anna [14]
I subtract 2x  to 8x that is equal to 6x; then I subtract 10 from right to left. So 94-10 equal 84. Now you got 6x=84, divide 6 both side and you got the answer. 
 
The answer is x= 14
