A boat is pulled into a dock by means of a rope attached to a pulley on the dock. The rope is attached to the front of the boat,

which is 6 feet below the level of the pulley.
If the rope is pulled through the pulley at a rate of 18 ft/min, at what rate will the boat be approaching the dock when 90 ft of rope is out?

The answer is x' = 16.07 ft/min and here is the procedure to get this one: 
<span>y = 8 ft, the distance the boat is below the pulley. 
x =the distance from the bottom of the dock to the front of the boat. 
c= the amount of rope out. 
c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed between the height of the dock and the distance from the dock t the boat. 

y = constant, while x and c are all changing with time, so: 

[x(t)]² + y² = [c(t)]² 

Dropping the (t) notation and differentiating implicitly with respect to time, 

x² + 64 = c² 
2xx' = 2cc' 
xx' = cc' 
From the problem statement, 
c = 90 ft 
c' = 16 ft/min 
We know that when c = 90 ft, y = 8 ft, so we can solve for x at this time. 
x² + 64 = 8100 
x = 89.64 ft 
x' = cc'/x 
= (90 ft)(16 ft/min)/89.64 ft 
x' = 16.07 ft/min</span>

Which of the following is true of the data set represented by the box plot max at 35
Bezzdna [24]

Though the box plot is not given, the truth about the data set represented by the box plot is <u>removing</u> the outliers would not affect the median.

<h3>What is a box plot?</h3>

A box plot gives a graphical (rectangular) representation of statistical data based on the following five values: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

Essentially, a box plot has the following five data descriptions:

  • The leftmost whisker, showing the minimum value.
  • The rightmost whisker, showing the maximum value.
  • The leftmost line, showing the first quartile.
  • The middle line, showing the median or the second quartile.
  • The last line shows the third quartile.

Thus, the truth about the data set represented by the box plot is <u>removing</u> the outliers would not affect the median.
