Let the origin of the coordinate system be the position of ship B at noon. Then the distance between the ships as a function of t (in hours) is
.. d = √((30 +23t)² +(17t)²)
.. = √(818t² +1380t +900)

The rate of change of distance with respect to time is
.. d' = (1/2)(2*818*t +1380)/√(818t² +1380t +900)
.. = (818t +690)/√(818t² +1380t +900)

At t=4, this is
.. d' = (818*4 +690)/√(818*16 +1380*4 +900)
.. = 3962/√19508
.. ≈ 28.37 . . . . . knots

The distance between the ships is increasing at about 28.37 knots at 4 pm.

1. Solve the absolute value equation, if possible. If there is no solution, explain why.
dexar [7]

Answer:The absolute value of a number is its distance away from zero. That number will always be positive, as you cannot be negative two feet away from something. So any absolute value equation set equal to a negative number is no solution, regardless of what that number is.

A bird leaves its nest and travels 20 miles per hour downwind for x hours. On the return trip, the bird travels 4 miles per hour
natali 33 [55]
We need to calculate a total TIME.  
Let the time required to cover distance d at 20 mph be x.  d is the ONE WAY distance, not the total distance traveled (which would be 2d).

Remember the formula d=rt:  the distance traveled equals the rate times the time.  Here, d = rx, and thus x = d/r  = d/(20mph)

Let's begin by recognizing  that       d(going) = d(returning)
Then                                            (20 mph)x   = 6 + (16 mph)x

                                                      (20 mph)x - (16 mph)x = 6 miles
Then:                                                    (4 mph)x = 6 miles
or:                                                             x = 1.5 hours

It takes the bird 1.5 hours at 20 mph to cover distance d, which is 30 miles.
Thus, the total time spent flying is 1.5 hours (going) and [1.5 hours + (6 miles)/(16 mph) returning:

                            1.5 hours + 1.5 hours + 0.375 hours = 3.375 hours total.

The total distance covered is 2d, or 2(30 miles) = 60 miles.

It took me a while and a lot of experimentation to arrive at these results.  Please, if my arguments here are not clear, ask questions.
