Answer:

The rate of change of the distance \frac{ds}{dt} when x = 9 and y = 12 is -7.6\:\frac{m}{s}.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of a related rate problem. A related rate problem is a problem in which we know one of the rates of change at a given instant \frac{dx}{dt} and we want to find the other rate \frac{dy}{dt} at that instant.

We know the rate of change of x-coordinate and y-coordinate:

\frac{dx}{dt}=-2\:\frac{m}{s} \\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=-8\:\frac{m}{s}

We want to find the rate of change of the distance \frac{ds}{dt} when x = 9 and y = 12.

The distance of a point (x, y) and the origin is calculated by:

s=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

We need to use the concept of implicit differentiation, we differentiate each side of an equation with two variables by treating one of the variables as a function of the other.

If we apply implicit differentiation in the formula of the distance we get

s=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\s^2=x^2+y^2\\\\2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2x\frac{dx}{dt}+2y\frac{dy}{dt}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{s}(x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt})

Substituting the values we know into the above formula

s=\sqrt{9^2+12^2}=15

\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{15}(9(-2)+12(-8))\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{15}\left(-18-96\right)\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{15}(-114)=-\frac{38}{5}=-7.6\:\frac{m}{s}

The rate of change of the distance \frac{ds}{dt} when x = 9 and y = 12 is -7.6\:\frac{m}{s}

If the pattern continues how many cups of milk does George need to make 6 batches of muffins
alexdok [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider the differences between consecutive terms, that is

\frac{3}{4} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3}{8}

1 \frac{1}{8} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{8}

1 \frac{1}{2} - 1 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8}

To obtain the next term in the pattern add \frac{3}{8} to the previous term.

batches = 5 ⇒ milk = 1 \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{8} = 1 \frac{7}{8}

batches = 6 ⇒ milk = 1 \frac{7}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = 2 \frac{1}{4}

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

28(1 + 2t + w)

Step-by-step explanation:

This polynomial can be factored by factoring out 28.

What is the slope of the line that passes through (8,4) and (6,7)?
bija089 [108]
slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\ &#10;(x_1,y_1)=(8,4)\\ &#10;(x_2,y_2)=(6,7)\\\\&#10; slope=\frac{7-4}{6-8}=\frac{3}{-2}=-\frac{3}{2}\\\\&#10;Slope\ is\ equal\ to\ -\frac{3}{2}.&#10;
