Let θ

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

θ is decreasing at the rate of \frac{21}{16} units/sec

or \frac{d}{dt}(θ) = \frac{-21}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Length of side opposite to angle θ is y

Length of side adjacent to angle θ is x

θ is part of a right angle triangle

At this instant,

x =  8 , \frac{dx}{dt} = 7

( \frac{dx}{dt} denotes the rate of change of x with respect to time)

y = 8 , \frac{dy}{dt} = -14

( The negative sign denotes the decreasing rate of change )

Here because it is a right angle triangle,

tanθ = \frac{y}{x}-------------------------------------------------------------------1

At this instant,

tanθ = \frac{8}{8} = 1

Therefore θ = π/4

We differentiate equation (1) with respect to time in order to obtain the rate of change of θ or \frac{d}{dt}(θ)

\frac{d}{dt} (tanθ) = \frac{d}{dt} (y/x)

( Applying chain rule of differentiation for R.H.S as y*1/x)

sec^{2}θ\frac{d}{dt}(θ) = \frac{1}{x}\frac{dy}{dt} - \frac{y}{x*x}\frac{dx}{dt}-----------------------2

Substituting the values of x , y , \frac{dx}{dt} , \frac{dy}{dt} , θ at that instant in equation (2)

2\frac{d}{dt}(θ) = \frac{1}{8}*(-14)- \frac{8}{8*8}*7

\frac{d}{dt}(θ) = \frac{-21}{16}

Therefore θ is decreasing at the rate of \frac{21}{16} units/sec

or  \frac{d}{dt}(θ) = \frac{-21}{16}

What is the formula for intersecting chords on the interior of a circle?​
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Each chord is cut into two segments at the point of where they intersect. One chord is cut into two line segments A and B. The other into the segments C and D. This theorem states that A×B is always equal to C×D no matter where the chords are.

A line with a slope of -1/3 passes through the point (9,3). What is its equation in point-slope form?
amm1812

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We have:

(9,\ 3)\to x_1=9,\ y_1=3\\\\m=-\dfrac{1}{3}

Substitute

y-3=-\dfrac{1}{3}(x-9)
