A​ hot-air balloon is 160 ftabove the ground when a motorcycle​ (traveling in a straight line on a horizontal​ road) passes dire

ctly beneath it going 45 mi divided by hr​(66 ft divided by s​).If the balloon rises vertically at a rate of 14 ft divided by s​,what is the rate of change of the distance between the motorcycle and the balloon 7 seconds​later?

Answer:

73.77 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine this situation as a right triangle where the distance between the two points is the hypotenuse.

-Applying Pythagoras theorem:

z^2=x^2+y^2\\\\z=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\x=dx*t+x_i, x_i=0\\\\y=dy*t+y_i\\\\y_i=160\ ft

#Take the derivative of the first equation and solve for dz:

d(z^2=x^2+y^2)\\\\2z*dz=2x*dx+2y*dy\\\\dz=\frac{x*dx+y*dy}{z}\\\\dz=\frac{x*dx+y*dy}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}\\\\\\dz=\frac{dx^2*t+dy(dy*t+160)}{\sqrt{(dx*t)^2+(dy*t)}}

#We then substitute the values given in the question to solve for dz:

dz=\frac{7*66^2+14(14*7+160)}{\sqrt{(66*7)^2+7*14+160}}\\\\=73.78

Hence, the rate of change of the distance between the motorcycle and the balloon 7 seconds ​later is 73.77 ft/s

Answer:

8 1/3+9 4/5+ 11 5/6+12+14 7/8=<u>58 61/120</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would add all of the whole numbers: 8+9+11+1+2+14=54

Second, you would add all of the fractions 1/3+4/5+5/6+7/8=4 61/120

Lastly, 54+4 61/120=<u>58 61/120</u>
