A road perpendicular to a highway leads to a farmhouse located d miles away. An automobile traveling on this highway passes thro

ugh this intersection and continues at a constant speed of r mph. Compute how fast the distance betwen the automobile and the farmhouse is increasing when the automobile is 30 miles past the intersection of the highway and the road, in terms of d, and r.

Answer:

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{\sqrt{d^{2}+900}}

Step-by-step explanation:

A road is perpendicular to a highway leading to a farmhouse d miles away.

An automobile passes through the point of intersection with a constant speed \frac{dx}{dt} = r mph

Let x be the distance of automobile from the point of intersection and distance between the automobile and farmhouse is 'h' miles.

Then by Pythagoras theorem,

h² = d² + x²

By taking derivative on both the sides of the equation,

(2h)\frac{dh}{dt}=(2x)\frac{dx}{dt}

(h)\frac{dh}{dt}=(x)\frac{dx}{dt}

(h)\frac{dh}{dt}=rx

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{rx}{h}

When automobile is 30 miles past the intersection,

For x = 30

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{h}

Since h=\sqrt{d^{2}+(30)^{2}}

Therefore,

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{\sqrt{d^{2}+(30)^{2}}}

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{\sqrt{d^{2}+900}}
