You want to get from a point A on the straight shore of the beach to a buoy which is 54 meters out in the water from a point B o

n the shore. B is 70 meters from you down the shore. If you can swim at a speed of 5 meters per second and run at a speed of 7 meters per second, at what point along the shore, x meters from B, should you stop running and start swimming if you want to reach the buoy in the least time possible

Answer:

x =\dfrac{45 \sqrt{6}}{ 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The diagrammatic interpretation of what the question is all about can be seen in the diagram attached below.

Now, let V(x) be the time needed for the runner to reach the buoy;

∴ We can say that,

\mathtt{V(x) = \dfrac{70-x}{7}+\dfrac{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}{5}}

In order to estimate the point along the shore, x meters from B, the runner should  stop running and start swimming if he want to reach the buoy in the least time possible, then we need to differentiate the function of V(x) and relate it to zero.

i.e

The differential of V(x) = V'(x) =0

=\dfrac{d}{dx}\begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{70-x}{7} + \dfrac{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}{5} \end {bmatrix}= 0

-\dfrac{1}{7}+ \dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}=0

\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{1}{7}

\dfrac{5x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{1}{7}

\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{7}{5}}

\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{5}{7}

squaring both sides; we get

\dfrac{x^2}{54^2+x^2}= \dfrac{5^2}{7^2}

\dfrac{x^2}{54^2+x^2}= \dfrac{25}{49}

By cross multiplying; we get

49x^2 = 25(54^2+x^2)

49x^2 = 25 \times 54^2+ 25x^2

49x^2-25x^2 = 25 \times 54^2

24x^2 = 25 \times 54^2

x^2 = \dfrac{25 \times 54^2}{24}

x =\sqrt{ \dfrac{25 \times 54^2}{24}}

x =\dfrac{5 \times 54}{\sqrt{24}}

x =\dfrac{270}{\sqrt{4 \times 6}}

x =\dfrac{45 \times 6}{ 2 \sqrt{ 6}}

x =\dfrac{45 \sqrt{6}}{ 2}

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

-2x < 10

-6 < -2x

<u>Part a) Is x = 0 a solution to both inequalities</u>

FOR  -2x < 10

substituting x = 0 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(0) < 10

0 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 0 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 0 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR  -6 < -2x

substituting x = 0 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(0)

-6 < 0

TRUE!

Thus, x = 0 satisfies the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 0 is the solution to the inequality -6 < -2x

Conclusion:

x = 0 is a solution to both inequalites.

<u>Part b) Is x = 4 a solution to both inequalities</u>

FOR  -2x < 10

substituting x = 4 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(4) < 10

-12 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 4 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 4 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR  -6 < -2x

substituting x = 4 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(4)

-6 < -8

FALSE!

Thus, x = 4 does not satisfiy the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 4 is the NOT a solution to the inequality -6 < -2x.

Conclusion:

x = 4 is NOT a solution to both inequalites.

Part c) Find another value of x that is a solution to both inequalities.

<u>solving -2x < 10</u>

-2x\:

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverses the inequality)

\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)>10\left(-1\right)

Simplify

2x>-10

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}>\frac{-10}{2}

x>-5

-2x-5\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}

<u>solving -6 < -2x</u>

-6 < -2x

switch sides

-2x>-6

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverses the inequality)

\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)

Simplify

2x

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}

x

-6

Thus, the two intervals:

\left(-\infty \:,\:3\right)

\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)

The intersection of these two intervals would be the solution to both inequalities.

\left(-\infty \:,\:3\right)  and \left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)

As x = 1 is included in both intervals.

so x = 1 would be another solution common to both inequalities.

<h3>SUBSTITUTING x = 1</h3>

FOR  -2x < 10

substituting x = 1 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(1) < 10

-3 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 1 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR  -6 < -2x

substituting x = 1 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(1)

-6 < -2

TRUE!

Thus, x = 1 satisfies the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the inequality -6 < -2x.

Conclusion:

x = 1 is a solution common to both inequalites.

Lines l, m, and n are parallel.<br><br> What is the value of x?<br><br><br> °
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Since you know the given angle is 46deg. You also know that a straight line is equal to 180deg. So it's a supplementary angle, therefore you subtract 46 from 180 and get 134. And since the l, m, and n are parallel, they have congruent angles. So x = 134deg.

A is a finite non-empty set. The domain for relation R is the power set of A.(Recall that the power set of A is the set of all s
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice D"

Step-by-step explanation:

Determining the information:

For "X \subseteq A " and "Y \subseteq A",  X relates to Y when X and Y has the same cardinality. therefore, R does not have reflective:

For every "X \subseteq A", "X= X" So, X  not proper subset ofX.  So, R does not havereflexive.

R does not have symmetry:

For every "X \subseteq Y" ,then, "Y \subset X"  is not true because X not relate to Y.  So, R is not symmetric.

R does not have antisymmetric:

When X relates to Y and Y is relate to X, then "X \subset Y" and "Y \subset X"\to X=Y

Therefore, R is anti-symmetric.
