Solution :
Given :
The height of the person is 5 foot.
The height of the lamppost is 12 foot.
Speed of the person away from the lamppost = 4 ft/s
Let the distance of the tip of the shadow of the perosn to the pole at t seconds after the person started walking away from the pole be d(t).
By similarity of the triangles, we see that
.................(i)
Here x is the distance from the person to the tip of the shadow. As it is given the speed of the person is 4 ft/s, then the distance of the person from the pole 4t. So we have,
x = d - 4t .............(ii)
Putting (ii) in (i) and solving for d is
d(t) = 6.85 t
So now if we derive d(t), we will get the wanted rate of the tip of the shadow.
∴ d'(t) = 6.85 ft/s

Answer:
A. x < -3 or x > -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start with the equation -4x + 60 < 72.
-4x + 60 < 72
First using the order of operations, subtract 60 from both sides.
-4x + 60 - 60 < 72 - 60
- 4x < 12
Next we want to divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable.
-4x/-4 < 12/-4
x > -3
When you divide a negative number, always make sure the change the sign.
Solve the next equation, 14x + 11 < -31, the same way we solved the last.
14x + 11 < -31
Subtract 11 from both sides.
14x + 11 - 11 < -31 -11
14x < -42
Divide 14 from both sides.
14x/14 < -42/14
x < -3
The equations have different signs.
A. x < -3 or x > -3
