8. A cable car travels 2236 m to climb a mountain that is 1000 m high. It then travels 1414 m to descend 1000 m on the other sid

e of the mountain. A tunnel goes straight through the mountain, from the starting point to the endpoint of the cable car's journey. How long is the tunnel?

Answer:

3000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem

2236^2=1000^2+|AB|^2\\|AB|^2=2236^2-1000^2\\|AB|^2=3999696\\|AB|=\sqrt{3999696} \\=1999.9

Similarly

1414^2=1000^2+|BC|^2\\|BC|^2=1414^2-1000^2\\|BC|^2=999696\\|BC|=\sqrt{999696} \\=999.7m

Length of the Tunnel = |AB|+|BC|

=1999.9+999.7

=2999.6

=3000 m

At 1 P.M., ship A is 150 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 35 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km/h. How fast i
Evgen [1.6K]
<span>The distance between the ships is changing at a rate of 21.393 km/h

</span><span>Step 1: First, you must draw an image to help better understand the problem 
</span>

The reason that ship A is moving -35km/h is because ship B acts as an "origin" and as things move closer to the "origin" they become negative and as things move away from the "origin" they become positive.

We know that the rate of Ship A is expressed as <span><span><span>dA</span><span>dt</span></span>=−35</span> and the rate of Ship B is expressed as <span><span><span>dB</span><span>dt</span></span>=25</span>

Step 2: We want to figure out how many km Ship A and Ship B traveled in 4 hours

<span>ShipA:−35<span><span>km</span>h</span>⋅4hr=−140km</span>

Now if we take this <span>−140km</span> and add it to the <span>150km</span> we can see that Ship A is now only <span>10km</span> away from where Ship B began

<span>ShipB:25<span><span>km</span>h</span>⋅4hr=100km</span>

This means that Ship B is now <span>100km</span> from where it originally started

We can now redraw our information

Step 3: We must use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side of the triangle

<span><span>x2</span>+<span>y2</span>=<span>z2</span>→<span>102</span>+<span>1002</span>=<span>z2</span></span>

<span>z=<span>√<span><span>102</span>+<span>1002</span></span></span></span>

Step 4: Now that we know z, we must differentiate the original equation in order to find the rate at which z in changing

<span><span>x2</span>+<span>y2</span>=<span>z2</span>→2x<span><span>dx</span><span>dt</span></span>+2y<span><span>dy</span><span>dt</span></span>=2z<span><span>dz</span><span>dt</span></span></span>

We can simplify by canceling out the 2's

<span>x<span><span>dx</span><span>dt</span></span>+y<span><span>dy</span><span>dt</span></span>=z<span><span>dz</span><span>dt</span></span></span>

Step 5: Write down all the information and then plug into equation

<span>x=10and<span><span>dx</span><span>dt</span></span>=−35</span>
<span>y=100and<span><span>dy</span><span>dt</span></span>=25</span>
<span>z=<span>√<span><span>102</span>+<span>1002</span></span></span>and<span><span>dz</span><span>dt</span></span>=?</span>

Now plug in the information

<span>x<span><span>dx</span><span>dt</span></span>+y<span><span>dy</span><span>dt</span></span>=z<span><span>dz</span><span>dt</span></span></span>

<span>10<span>(−35)</span>+100<span>(25)</span>=<span>√<span><span>102</span>+<span>1002</span></span></span><span><span>dz</span><span>dt</span></span></span>

<span>−350+2500=<span>√<span><span>102</span>+<span>1002</span></span></span><span><span>dz</span><span>dt</span></span></span>

<span>2150=<span>√<span><span>102</span>+<span>1002</span></span></span><span><span>dz</span><span>dt</span></span></span>

The distance between the ships are increasing at a rate of 21.393 km/h

Write and equati9n of a l8ne that passes through (1,-2) and is perpendicular to -4x+7y=21
yarga [219]

Given:

A line passes through (1,-2) and is perpendicular to -4x+7y=21.

To find:

The equation of that line.

Solution:

We have, equation of perpendicular line.

-4x+7y=21

Slope of this line is

m_1=-\dfrac{\text{Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}

m_1=-\dfrac{-4}{7}

m_1=\dfrac{4}{7}

Product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1.

m_1\times m_2=-1

\dfrac{4}{7}\times m_2=-1

m_2=-\dfrac{7}{4}

Now, slope of required line is -\dfrac{7}{4} and it passes through (1,-2). So, the equation of line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where, m is slope.

y-(-2)=-\dfrac{7}{4}(x-1)

4(y+2)=-7(x-1)

4y+8=-7x+7

4y+7x=7-8

7x+4y=-1

Therefore, the equation of required line is 7x+4y=-1.

the gross earnings • group health insurance (assuming 15% of gross earnings) pension deduction (assuming 6.5% of gross earnings)
sveta [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Calculate the gross earnings:</u>

  • 40*7.75 = 310.00

<u>Health insurance deduction:</u>

  • 310.00*15/100 = 46.50

<u>Pension deduction:</u>

  • 310.00*6.5/100 = 20.15

<u>Total deductions:</u>

  • 55.00 + 15.50 + 21.25 + 46.50 + 20.15 = 158.40

<u>Net pay:</u>

  • 310.00 - 158.40 = 151.60
