Answer:

<em>-1.031 m/s or  </em>\frac{-\sqrt{17} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We take the length of the rope from the dock to the bow of the boat as y.

We take x be the horizontal  distance from the dock to the boat.

We know that the rate of change of the rope length is \frac{dy}{dt} = -1 m/s

We need to find the rate of change of the horizontal  distance from the dock to the boat =  \frac{dx}{dt} = ?

for x = 4

Applying Pythagorean Theorem we have

1^{2} +x^{2}  =y^{2}    .... equ 1

solving, where x = 4, we have

1^{2} +4^{2}  =y^{2}

y^{2} = 17

y = \sqrt{17}

Differentiating equ 1 implicitly with respect to t, we have

2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}

substituting values of

x = 4

y = \sqrt{17}

\frac{dy}{dt} = -1

into the equation, we get

2(4)\frac{dx}{dt} = 2(\sqrt{17} )(-1)

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{-\sqrt{17} }{4} = <em>-1.031 m/s</em>

F(x) = x^2. What is g(x)?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

D. g(x)=(3x)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For function g(x), it displays the point (1,9) as part of the function. If (x,y), then we can plug those into the available answers. Plug 1 in for each x value in the function and whichever one equals 9 will be your answer. This is only true for g(x)=(3x)^2.
