You are a lifeguard and spot a drowning child 60 meters along the shore and 40 meters from the shore to the child. You run along
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The lifeguard should run across the shore a distance of 48.074 m before jumpng into the water in order to minimize the time to reach the child.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of optimization.

We have to minimize the time it takes for the lifeguard to reach the child.

The time can be calculated by dividing the distance by the speed for each section.

The distance in the shore and in the water depends on when the lifeguard gets in the water. We use the variable x to model this, as seen in the picture attached.

Then, the distance in the shore is d_b=x and the distance swimming can be calculated using the Pithagorean theorem:

d_s^2=(60-x)^2+40^2=60^2-120x+x^2+40^2=x^2-120x+5200\\\\d_s=\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}

Then, the time (speed divided by distance) is:

t=d_b/v_b+d_s/v_s\\\\t=x/4+\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}/1.1

To optimize this function we have to derive and equal to zero:

\dfrac{dt}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{1.1}(\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{2x-120}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} \\\\\\\dfrac{dt}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{4} +\dfrac{1}{1.1} \dfrac{x-60}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} =0\\\\\\  \dfrac{x-60}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} =\dfrac{1.1}{4}=\dfrac{2}{7}\\\\\\ x-60=\dfrac{2}{7}\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}\\\\\\(x-60)^2=\dfrac{2^2}{7^2}(x^2-120x+5200)\\\\\\(x-60)^2=\dfrac{4}{49}[(x-60)^2+40^2]\\\\\\(1-4/49)(x-60)^2=4*40^2/49=6400/49\\\\(45/49)(x-60)^2=6400/49\\\\45(x-60)^2=6400\\\\

x

As d_b=x, the lifeguard should run across the shore a distance of 48.074 m before jumpng into the water in order to minimize the time to reach the child.

a line is perpendicular to y = 3/7x - 2 and intersects the point (3,3). What is the equation of this perpendicular line?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

y = -7/3x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope of the perpendicular line

Do this by taking the negative inverse of the first line

m = -7/3

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

y = mx + b

y = -7/3x + b

3 = -7/3(3) + b

3 = -7 + b

b = 10

You should get y = -7/3x + 10 as your final answer.
