Sketch the situation if necessary and use related rates to solve. Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height. Airpla

ne A is flying east at 250 mph and airplane B is flying north at 300 mph. If they are both heading to the same airport, located 30 miles east of airplane A and 40 miles north of airplane B, at what rate (in mph) is the distance between the airplanes changing?

Answer:

  -390 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b represent, respectively, the distances of A and B from the airport. The distance d between the planes is then given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d² = a² + b²

Differentiating with respect to time, we have ...

  2d·d' = 2a·a' +2b·b'

Solving for d', we get ...

  d' = (a/d)a' +(b/d)b'

The value of d at the time of interest is ...

  d = √(a² +b²) = √(30² +40²) = √2500 = 50

Then the rate of change of separation is ...

  d' = (30/50)(-250 mph) +(40/50)(-300 mph) = (-150 -240) mph

  d' = -390 mph

The distance between planes is decreasing at 390 miles per hour.

How can I explain how to make a 3.5 into a fraction for Mt 10yr old?
stealth61 [152]
The number on the left side of the decimal, write it as a large, in this case, three. The number on the right side of the decimal, write as a small number. Then put a ten under the five, and divide the two with a line. A way to remember this is - Imagine you have 3 cookies. The .5 represents a half of a cookie. You need to have all ten parts of the cookie to make a whole cookie. You'd need 5 more pieces of cookie to make 4 cookies. Hope this helps.

Given f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=7-x. Find g(f(x)).
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

f(g(x)) = 2(7 - x) + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x + 1

g(x) = 7 - x

The question in the picture itself says to find f(g(x)) so i'll find that instead

f(g(x)) = 2(7 - x) + 1

f(g(x)) = 14 - 2x + 1

f(g(x)) = -2x + 15
