Answer:

a) The area of the triangle changing when the legs are 2 m long is 4 meter square.

b) The area of the triangle changing when the hypotenuse is 1 m long is \sqrt2 meter square.

c) The rate is the length of the hypotenuse changing is 2\sqrt2 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The legs of an isosceles right triangle increase in length at a rate of 2 m/s.

Let the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle be 'x'.

Let the length of the hypotenuse be 'h'.

The are of the triangle is given by,

A=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{Base}\times \text{Height}

A=\frac{1}{2}\times x\times x

A(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2 ....(1)

Differentiate w.r.t t,

\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{dA}{dx}\times \frac{dx}{dt}

We have given, \frac{dx}{dt}= 2\ m/s

\frac{dA}{dx}=x (differentiate (1) w.r.t x)

\frac{dA}{dt}=2x ....(2)

a) The legs are 2 m long  i.e. x=2 m

Substitute in (1),

\frac{dA}{dt}=2\times 2

\frac{dA}{dt}=4\ m^2

The area of the triangle changing when the legs are 2 m long is 4 meter square.

b) The hypotenuse is 1 m long.

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

h^2=x^2+x^2

h^2=2x^2

x=\frac{h}{\sqrt2}

Put h=1,

x=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}

Substitute the value of x in equation (2),

\frac{dA}{dt}=2\times \frac{1}{\sqrt2}

\frac{dA}{dt}=\sqrt2\ m^2

The area of the triangle changing when the hypotenuse is 1 m long is \sqrt2 meter square.

c) We know,

x=\frac{h}{\sqrt2}

or h=\sqrt2 x

Derivate w.r.t t,

\frac{dh}{dt}=\sqrt2 \frac{dx}{dt}

We have given, \frac{dx}{dt}= 2\ m/s

So, \frac{dh}{dt}=\sqrt2\times 2

\frac{dh}{dt}=2\sqrt2

The rate is the length of the hypotenuse changing is 2\sqrt2 m/s.

7. Veronica is choosing between two health clubs.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The total cost for  each health club will be the same after 4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let A = membership fee for studio A
  • B = membership fee for studio B
  • x= membership month

  • A = 22 + 24.5x
  • B = 47.00 + 18.25x

We want to when the total cost at each health studio is the same.

In other words, when A = B.

Therefore, the expression becomes

A = B

22\:+\:24.5x=47.00\:+\:18.25x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

24.5x+22=18.25x+47

Step 2: Subtract 18.25x from both sides.

24.5x+22-18.25x=18.25x+47-18.25x

6.25x+22=47

Step 3: Subtract 22 from both sides.

6.25x+22-22=47-22

6.25x=25

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.25

\frac{6.25x}{6.25}=\frac{25}{6.25}

x=4

Therefore, the total cost for  each health club will be the same after 4 months.
