Answer:
1/10 per sec
Step-by-step explanation:
When he's walked x feet in the eastward direction, the angle Θ that the search light makes has tangent
tanΘ = x/18
Taking the derivative with respect to time
sec²Θ dΘ/dt = 1/18 dx/dt.
He's walking at a rate of 18 ft/sec, so dx/dt = 18.
After 3seconds,
Speed = distance/time
18ft/sec =distance/3secs
x = 18 ft/sec (3 sec)
= 54ft. At this moment
tanΘ = 54/18
= 3
sec²Θ = 1 + tan²Θ
1 + 3² = 1+9
= 10
So at this moment
10 dΘ/dt = (1/18ft) 18 ft/sec = 1
10dΘ/dt = 1
dΘ/dt = 1/10 per sec
D(e-f)=g
e-f=g/d
(divide both sides by d)
-f=g/d -e
(subtract e from both sides)
f=-g/d +e
(divide by negative three)
... and yur done.
The number is 5. 27-12=15/3=5 is how you get the answer.
