Ok, so if you have a division problem you flip one of the fractions and multiply across

MULTIPLY: find the common denominator and multiply the numerator only and simplify the answer

Add: Same thing find common denominator and add the numerators and simplify the answer

Subtract: Same as addition but subtract the numerators.

A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/s along

Answer:

The tip of the man shadow moves at the rate of $\frac{20}{3} ft.sec$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw a figure that describes the given situation.

Let "x" be the distance between the man and the pole and "y" be distance between the pole and man's shadows tip point.

Here it forms two similar triangles.

Let's find the distance "y" using proportion.

From the figure, we can form a proportion.

$\frac{y - x}{y} = \frac{6}{15}$

Cross multiplying, we get

15(y -x) = 6y

15y - 15x = 6y

15y - 6y = 15x

9y = 15x

y = $\frac{15x}{9\\} y = \frac{5x}{3}$

We need to find rate of change of the shadow. So we need to differentiate y with respect to the time (t).

$\frac{dy}{t} = \frac{5}{3} \frac{dx}{dt}$ ----(1)

We are given $\frac{dx}{dt} = 4 ft/sec$ . Plug in the equation (1), we get

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{5}{3} *4 ft/sect\\= \frac{20}{3} ft/sec$

Here the distance between the man and the pole 45 ft does not need because we asked to find the how fast the shadow of the man moves.
