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.

Tom rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each. Work out the probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21.
Ber [7]

The probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21 is 0.22

<u>Explanation:</u>

Factor of 21 is = 1, 3, 7, 21

Out of all the factors of 21, we cannot get 21 when the two die are rolled as the maximum sum that can be obtained is 12

The possible combinations are:

(1,2) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,5)

(3,4)

(4,3)

(5,2)

(6,1)

Total outcome = 6 X 6

                      = 36

Number of outcomes that is the factor of 21 is 8

The probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21 is \frac{8}{36}

p(21) = 0.22

Therefore, the probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21 is 0.22

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, 5) and has a slope of -1.
Anastaziya [24]
Point slope form = y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 5 = -1 (x -(-1))
y - 5 = -1 (x+1)

Hope this helps :)
