If we let the coordinates of each ship be (x, y) with the positive directions of these coordinates corresponding to East and North, then the positions of the ships t hours after noon are

Ship A
  (-180+35t, 0)

Ship B
  (0, 30t)

The distance between them is the "Pythagorean sum" of the difference in their coordinates:
  d = √((-180 +35t)² +(-30t)²)
    = √(32400 -12600t +2125t²)
The rate of change of this distance is
  dd/dt = (2125t -6300)/√(32400 -12600t +2125t²)

At 4 pm, the value of this rate of change is
  (2125*4 -6300)/√(32400 -12600*4 +2125*4²)
  = 2200/√16000
  ≈ 17.39 km/h

The distance between the ships is increasing at about 17.39 km/h at 4 pm.

Tamara has decided to start saving for spending money for her first year of college. Her money is currently in a large suitcase
katovenus [111]

Answer:

She can create a function for the total savings in terms of the time x by adding the two functions together. The new function should look like this:

T(x)=S(x)+a(x)

So now we can substitute the given functions:

T(x)=450+6(x-2)

But this function can be simplified for it to be easier for her to calculate her total amount of savings. We can do that by distributing the 6 into the parenthesis. This is, multiply the 6 by both the x and the -2, so we get:

T(x)=450+6x-12

and now we can combine like terms. We can subtract 12 from 450 so we get:

T(x)=6x+438

And that will be our final function.

In the xy-plane, the graph of x2 − 4x + y2 − 6y = −8 is a circle. What is the radius of the circle?
Blizzard [7]

The center-radius form of the circle equation

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

(h, k) - center

r - radius

We have:

x^2-4x+y^2-6y=-8

Use

(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\qquad(*)

x^2-2(x)(2)+y^2-2(y)(3)=-8\qquad\text{add}\ 2^2\ \text{and}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2}_{(*)}+\underbrace{y^2-2(y)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=2^2+3^2-8\\\\(x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=4+9-8\\\\(x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=5\\\\(x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=(\sqrt5)^2\\\\Answer:\\\\\boxed{center:(2,\ 3)}\\\\\boxed{radius:r=\sqrt5}
