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.
1ST Piece =======> 2x ======> 2 * 3 ft. ======> 6 ft.
2ND =========> 5x =======> 5 * 3 ft. ======> 15 ft.
3RD ==========> 4 Feet =======> 4 ft.
Sum ======> 25 Feet
Equation:
(2x + 5x) + (4) = 25
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2x + 5x + 4 = 25
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x + 5x + 4 = 25
(2x + 5x) + (4) = 25 (Combine Like Terms)
7x + 4 = 25
7x + 4 = 25
Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides.
7x + 4 − 4 = 25 − 4
7x = 21
Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.
7x / 7 = 21 / 7
Answer ========> x = 3
Check:
(2x + 5x) + (4) = 25
2(3) = 6
5(3) = 15
3rd Piece = 4
Sum = 25
6ft. + 15ft. + 4ft = 25
25 = 25
Hope that helps!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
The next number in the sequence will be 12.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
The given sequence is: 8, 15, 14, 9, 1, 6, 3
If we express these numbers in words, then we can see that the words are in alphabetical order, like....
Eight, Fifteen, Fourteen, Nine, One, Six, Three
There are two numbers 10 and 12 in the options which starts with letter 'T' , but alphabetically '<u>Tw</u>elve' will be the next number after '<u>Th</u>ree'
So, the next number in the sequence will be 12.
