Answer:

\frac{dc}{dt}\approx13.8146\text{ km/min}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the plane travels at a <em>constant</em> speed of 14 km/min.

It passes over a radar station at a altitude of 11 km and climbs at an angle of 25°.

We want to find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the radar station is increasing 4 minutes later. In other words, if you will please refer to the figure, we want to find dc/dt.

First, let's find c, the distance. We can use the law of cosines:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos(C)

We know that the plane travels at a constant rate of 14 km/min. So, after 4 minutes, the plane would've traveled 14(4) or 56 km So, a is 56, b is a constant 11. C is 90+20 or 115°. Substitute:

c^2=(56)^2+(11)^2-2(56)(11)\cos(115)

Evaluate:

c^2=3257-1232\cos(115)

Take the square root of both sides:

c=\sqrt{3257-1232\cos(115)}

Now, let's return to our law of cosines. We have:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos(C)

We want to find dc/dt. So, let's take the derivative of both sides with respect to t:

\frac{d}{dt}[c^2]=\frac{d}{dt}[a^2+b^2-2ab\cos(C)]

Since our b is constant at 11 km, we can substitute this in:

\frac{d}{dt}[c^2]=\frac{d}{dt}[a^2-(11)^2-2a(11)\cos(C)]

Evaluate:

\frac{d}{dt}[c^2]=\frac{d}{dt}[a^2-121-22a\cos(C)]

Implicitly differentiate:

2c\frac{dc}{dt}=2a\frac{da}{dt}-22\cos(115)\frac{da}{dt}

Divide both sides by 2c:

\frac{dc}{dt}=\frac{2a\frac{da}{dt}-22\cos(115)\frac{da}{dt}}{2c}

Solve for dc/dt. We already know that da/dt is 14 km/min. a is 56. We also know c. Substitute in these values:

\frac{dc}{dt}=\frac{2(56)(14)-22\cos(115)(14)}{2\sqrt{3257-1232\cos(115)}}

Simplify:

\frac{dc}{dt}=\frac{1568-308\cos(115)}{2\sqrt{3257-1232\cos(115)}}

Use a calculator. So:

\frac{dc}{dt}\approx13.8146\text{ km/min}

And we're done!

A conjecture and the two-column proof used to prove the conjecture are shown.
aliina [53]

Answer: the statements and resons, from the given bench, that fill in the blank are shown in italic and bold in this table:

    Statement                                                        Reason

1. K is the midpoint of segment JL                      Given

2. segment JK ≅ segment KL                             <em>Definition of midpoint</em>

3. <em>L is the midpoint of segment KM</em>                 Given

4. <em>segment KL ≅ segment LM</em>                           Definition of midpoint

5. segment JK ≅ segment LM                           Transitive Property of

                                                                             Congruence


Explanation:


1. First blank: you must indicate the reason of the statement "segment JK ≅ segment KL". Since you it is given that K is the midpoint of segment JL,  the statement follows from the very <em>Definition of midpoint</em>.

2. Second blank: you must add a given statement. The other given statement is <em>segment KL ≅ segment LM</em> .

3. Third blank: you must indicate the statement that corresponds to the definition of midpoint. That is <em>segment KL ≅ segment LM</em> .

4. Fourth and fith blanks: you must indicate the statement and reason necessary to conclude with the proof. Since, you have already proved that segment JK ≅ segment KL and segment KL ≅ segment LM it is by the transitive property of congruence that  segment JK ≅ segment LM.

Can someone explain to me how to solve inequalities with variables on both sides
Stolb23 [73]
First, apply the distributive property to the left side of the inequality. Multiply each of the two numbers inside the parentheses by 6 and then add those products. Next, subtract -24 from both sides. Then, to get \begin{align*}x\end{align*} by itself on one side of the inequality, you need to divide both sides by 6.

The sum of two numbers is 17, and their difference is 29. What are the two numbers?
serious [3.7K]
X + y = 17
x - y = 29

x = 17 - y
x - y = 29

x = 17 - y
17 - y - y = 29

x = 17 - y
17 - 2y = 29

x = 17 - y 
- 2y = 29 - 17

x = 17 - y
-2y = 12

x = 17 - y 
y = -6

x = 17 - (-6)
y = -6

x = 17 + 6
y = -6

x = 23
y = -6

micah uses 2 bags of birdseed to fill up 4 bird feeders. how many bags wi'll he need to fill up 40 feeders?
Gre4nikov [31]
2 bags = 4 feeders
You need 40 feeders.
40 feeders (need to fill up) ÷ 4 (feeders per 2 bags) = 10
10 x 2 (bags) =
20 bags for 40 feeders
