As there is no information about the speed of the ferries, we can infer that they move at the same speed.
Therefore, we can say that they cross each other at the same point both on their way and on their way back.
Since the "meeting point" is on a streight line in between the two shores, 100 meters from shore B and 50 meters from shore A, the distance between shore A and B will be 100 + 50 = 150 meters.

Hence, the distance between shores A and B is 150 meters.

Find the second derivative y=1/5x^2+1/11x
Amiraneli [1.4K]

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{5}.x^{2-1}.2 + \frac{1}{11}.x^{1-1}.1

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2}{5}.x+\frac{1}{11}

\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{2}{5}.x^{1-1}.1

\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{2}{5}

What is the advantage of Pareto chart over other charts?
Andrei [34K]
The Pareto chart emphasizes the 80/20 rule. It helps strategy data to uncover the most important issue to work on.
The saying goes 80% of the problems come from 20% of the ....causes.
It helps to narrow down a course of action by finding the 20%.

80% of traffic comes from accidents (of course you need data to support your hypotheses. You may be surprised....could it be because of slow drivers, obstacles on the highway, weather
