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.

3/8(2x-8/3x)=21 solve the equation for x​
mart [117]

Answer:

\boxed{\bold{x=-84}}

Explanation:

Multiply Both Sides By 8:

= \bold{8\cdot \frac{3}{8}\left(2x-\frac{8}{3}x\right)=21\cdot \:8}

Simplify:

= \bold{-2x=168}

Divide Both Sides By -2:

= \bold{\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{168}{-2}}

Simplify:

= \bold{x=-84}

The ratio of adams height to sam's height is 4:3 how many times sam's height is adams height
Levart [38]
The <span>ratio of adam's height to sam's height is 4:3. Therefore, Sam's height is 3/4 of adam's height. This is done by applying rules on ratios. We do as follows:

4 / 3 = adam's height / sam's height
sam's height = (3/4) adam's height

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

In the right triangle shown, A= 30° and AB = 8.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

BC=4\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

sin(30^o)=\frac{BC}{AB} ----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

we have

AB=8\ units\\\\sin(30^o)=\frac{1}{2}

solve for BC

BC=sin(30^o)(AB)

substitute the values

BC=(\frac{1}{2})(8)

BC=4\ units
