Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height: airplane A is flying east at 250 mi/h and airplane B is flying north at

300 mi/h. If they are both heading to the same airport, located 30 miles east of airplane A and 40 miles north of airplane B, at what rate is the distance between the airplanes changing?

Answer:

  decreasing at 390 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Airplane A's distance in miles to the airport can be written as ...

  a = 30 -250t . . . . . where t is in hours

Likewise, airplane B's distance to the airport can be written as ...

  b = 40 -300t

The distance (d) between the airplanes can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  d^2 = a^2 + b^2

Differentiating with respect to time, we have ...

  2d·d' = 2a·a' +2b·b'

  d' = (a·a' +b·b')/d

__

To find a numerical value of this, we need to find the values of its variables at t=0.

  a = 30 -250·0 = 30

  a' = -250

  b = 40 -300·0 = 40

  b' = -300

  d = √(a²+b²) = √(900+1600) = 50

Then ...

  d' = (30(-250) +40(-300))/50 = -19500/50 = -390

The distance between the airplanes is decreasing at 390 miles per hour.

In triangle NOP, Np is extended through Point P to Point Q, m < NOP =(x+17) degrees, m< PNO =(2x-4) degrees, and m< OPQ
Zigmanuir [339]
To find the measure of angle OPQ, we have two equations...
y+5x-17=180 because angles OPN and OPQ are supplementary...
AND
x+17+2x-4+y=180 because the total degrees of a triangle must add up to 180.
The equations...
5x+y=197
3x+y=167
solce the system of equations...
x=15
y=122
Since we wanted to solve for y, 122 is the answer.
The measure of angle OPQ is 122.

A car dealership pays you 4% commission on your first $8,000 in car sales and 8% commission on additional sales over the $8,000.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Total Commission = $400


Step-by-step explanation:

Since total is $9000 (in sales) -- commision is 4% on the first $8000 and 8% in the additional part over $8000 (9000-8000=1000). So 8% on $1000.


<u>Total commission</u> = 4% of 8000 + 8% of 1000

= (0.04)(8000) + (0.08)(1000)

= 400


Total Commission is $400
