Answer:
Shane started the problem correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given problem (-5) - (-1 3/4).
Mariah started the problem as (-5) + 1 - 3/4
Shane started the problem as (-5) + 1 + 3/4
We need to find who started the problem correctly.
The problem should be started by converting the mixed fraction into improper fraction i,e

Now we will solve bracket by multiplying -1 with term inside the bracket i.e


Let's compare both the procedures now:
Mariah:



Therefore, Mariah did not start the problem correctly.
Shane:



Therefore, Shane started the problem correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the origin of the coordinate system be the position of ship B at noon. Then the distance between the ships as a function of t (in hours) is
.. d = √((30 +23t)² +(17t)²)
.. = √(818t² +1380t +900)
The rate of change of distance with respect to time is
.. d' = (1/2)(2*818*t +1380)/√(818t² +1380t +900)
.. = (818t +690)/√(818t² +1380t +900)
At t=4, this is
.. d' = (818*4 +690)/√(818*16 +1380*4 +900)
.. = 3962/√19508
.. ≈ 28.37 . . . . . knots
The distance between the ships is increasing at about 28.37 knots at 4 pm.
It's going to be 35 present
