The speed of the ball is
ds/dt = 32t
At t =1/2 s
ds/dt = 16 ft/s
The distance from the ground
50 - 16(1/2)^2 = 46 ft
The triangles formed are similar
50/46 = (30 + x)/x
x = 345 ft
50 / (50 - s) = (30 + x)/x
Taking the derivative and substituing
ds/dt = 16
and
Solve for dx/dt
B. is the answer to your question!! Hope this helps!! :D
So what you do is see all the denomenators and factor them (denomenaotrs are the bottom numbres)
10,4,10,25
10=2 times 5
4=2 times 2
10=2 times 5
25=5 times 5
we need to include all of them so we need at leas two 2's, and two 5's
2 times 2 times 5 times 5=100
leact common denomator is 100
The answers are that the number can equal -4 or 1.
You can find this by setting the number equal to x.
x^2 (The square of a number) + 3x (three times a number) = 4
x^2 + 3x = 4 ---> subtract 4 from each side
x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0
Then you can factor this to find the answers
(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0
Set both equal to 0 and solve.
It is two units shifted downwards. you can see it by substituting x=0 for both equations
