Answer:

0.15 rad/s

Step-by-step explanation:

A rocket is launched at the rate of 11 feet per second from a point on the ground 15 feet from an observer.

To find rate of change of angle when the rocket is 30 feet above the ground

Height of rocket, y = 30 feet

Speed of rocket, \dfrac{dy}{dt}= 11 ft/s

Distance of observer from rocket, d = 15 feet

Angle between observer and rocket at height 30 feet is Ф

\tan\theta=\dfrac{30}{15}=2

\tan\theta=\dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{base}}

Distance between observer and rocket launch doesn't change.

So, d=15 will remain constant.

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{d}

15\tan\theta=y

differentiate w.r.t t

15\sec^2\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{dy}{dt}

15(1+\tan^2\theta)\cdot \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=11

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{11}{15(1+2^2)}

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{11}{75}\ rad/s\approx 0.15\ rad/s

Hence, The rate of change of the angle of elevation is 0.15 rad/s

Let the angle of elevation is x and the height of the rocket from the ground is y

tanx = y/15

by differentiating both sides with respect to T

sec²x·dx/dt = (dy/dt)/15

at y = 30 , the hypotenuse of the triangle = 15√5

sec²x=(15√5/15)²=5

5 dx/dt = 11/15

dx/dt = 11/75 rad/sec

Find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points A= (-7, -6) and B= (1,8).
Marrrta [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use midpoint formula,

x = -6/2 = -3 , y=2/2 =1

(x,y)=(-3,1)

so , the coordinates of mid point of line segment is M (-3,1)

Find an expression for the number of colored border tiles needed for any N x N square center.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

8N - 4 border tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 border tiles in each corner and between  the tiles there are N-2 tiles along the 4 sides.

So the number of border tiles

= 4+ 4(N - 2)

= 4 + 4N - 8

= 8N - 4.
