An airliner maintaining a constant elevation of 2 miles passes over an airport at noon traveling 500 mi/hr due west. At 1:00 PM,

another airliner passes over the same airport at the same elevation traveling due north at 550 mi/h. Assuming both airliners maintain the (equal) elevations, how fast is the distance between them changing at 2:30 PM

Answer:

\frac{ds}{dt}\approx 743.303\,\frac{mi}{h}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that airliners travel at constant speed. The equations for travelled distance of each airplane with respect to origin are respectively:

First airplane

r_{A} = 500\,\frac{mi}{h}\cdot t\\r_{B} = 550\,\frac{mi}{h}\cdot t

Where t is the time measured in hours.

Since north and west are perpendicular to each other, the staight distance between airliners can modelled by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

s=\sqrt{r_{A}^{2}+r_{B}^{2}}

Rate of change of such distance can be found by the deriving the expression in terms of time:

\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{r_{A}\cdot \frac{dr_{A}}{dt}+r_{B}\cdot \frac{dr_{B}}{dt}}{\sqrt{r_{A}^{2}+r_{B}^{2}} }

Where \frac{dr_{A}}{dt} = 500\,\frac{mi}{h} and \frac{dr_{B}}{dt} = 550\,\frac{mi}{h}, respectively. Distances of each airliner at 2:30 PM are:

r_{A}= (500\,\frac{mi}{h})\cdot (1.5\,h)\\r_{A} = 750\,mi

r_{B}=(550\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (1.5\,h)\\r_{B} = 825\,mi

The rate of change is:

\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{(750\,mi)\cdot (500\,\frac{mi}{h} )+(825\,mi)\cdot(550\,\frac{mi}{h})}{\sqrt{(750\,mi)^{2}+(825\,mi)^{2}} }

\frac{ds}{dt}\approx 743.303\,\frac{mi}{h}

Answer:

The slope of this parallel line is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.  The given line y = 3x - 2 has the slope 3.  Therefore the desired parallel line also has the slope 3.  This is all that is necessary to answer this question.

The slope of this parallel line is 3.

Tom has 7/8 gallons of paint. He used 1/2 gallon of paint on a project. He uses the steps to show how much paint he had when he
WINSTONCH [101]

He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.

Find the equation of the line with slope = 2 and y-intercept = -8.​
elena-s [515]

Answer: d

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the linear equation y=mx+b, you are given m (the slope) and b (the y-intercept). m=2 and b=-8. Therefore, y=2x-8
