"Sum of 32 and 5 times a number " translates to:

(32 + 5) × n

Then, it says "is 17"

So, (32 + 5) × n = 17. Let's solve!

32 + 5 = 37

37 × n = 17

To find n, we just divide 17 by 37. However, that equates to a repeating decimal, so it is best to put the answer as:

$\frac{17}{37}$

A particle is moving along the curve y= 4sqrt(5x+11) . As the particle passes through the point (5,24) , its -coordinate increas

kupik [55]

The rate of change of the distance from the particle to the origin at this instant is 3 units per second.

<h3>What is the rate of change?</h3>

The instantaneous rate of change is the rate of change at a particular instant.

A particle is moving along the curve

$y= 4\sqrt{5x+11} .$

The rate of change of y is given as:

dy / dx = 2

by differentiating both sides,

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 4\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{5x+11} } 5\dfrac{dx}{dt} \\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{5x+11} }\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\$

From the question, we have:

(x, y) = (5,24)

Substitute 5 for x and dy / dx = 2

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{5x+11} }\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\\\5= \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{5(5)+11} }\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\\\\sqrt{5(5)+11} = 2\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 6/ 2 = 3$
