Answer:

280.934 miles

Explanation:

Given

Scale = 1:500,000

Required

Determine the equivalent of 35.6 inches using the scale map in miles

First, we need to determine the actual distance in inches

Since the scale is 1:500000;

The actual distance is as follows;

Actual Distance = 35.6 * 500,000 inches

Actual Distance = 17,800,000  inches

Next, we calculate the equivalent in miles

1 inch = 1.57828e-5 mile

Multiply both sides by 17,800,000  

1 inch * 17,800,000   = 17,800,000  * 1.57828e-5 mile

17,800,000  inches = 280.93434343 miles

17,800,000  inches = 280.934 miles (Approximated)

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Dx/dt=3
y=3x^3-2x
dy/dt=(9x^2)(dx/dt)-2(dx/dt)
When x= -2
dy/dt=(9(-2)^2)(3)-2(3)
=36(3)-6
