A person stands 10 meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving towards the intersection from the north at 13 meters

per second. At a certain instant, the car is 24 meters from the intersection. What is the rate of change of the distance between the car and the person at that instant (in meters per second)?

Answer:

Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A person stand 10 meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving towards the intersection from the north at 13 m/s.

From Pythagorean Theorem,

(The distance between car and person)²= (The distance of the car from intersection)²+ (The distance of the person from intersection)²+

Assume that the distance of the car from the intersection and from the person be x and y at any time t respectively.

∴y²= x²+10²

\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{x^2+100}

Differentiating with respect to t

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2+100}}. 2x\frac{dx}{dt}

\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+100}}. \frac{dx}{dt}

Since the car driving towards the intersection at 13 m/s.

so,\frac{dx}{dt}=-13

\therefore \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+100}}.(-13)

Now

\therefore \frac{dy}{dt}|_{x=24}=\frac{24}{\sqrt{24^2+100}}.(-13)

               =\frac{24\times (-13)}{\sqrt{676}}

               =\frac{24\times (-13)}{26}

               = -12 m/s

Negative sign denotes the distance between the car and the person decrease.

Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.

The point M(-6, -4) is translated 2 units right. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, M′?
fredd [130]
B) (-4, -4)

When moving to the right you are moving to a more POSITIVE region on the x-axis; meaning, the y-value (vertical axis) does not get affected unless you’re moving up or down.

Remember: (-6, -4)
X = -6
Y = -4

If you move 2 units to the right (x-axis) you go from -6 + 2 which equals -4. And again, you’re not moving up and down so your
y-value stays the same and your new coordinates are (-4, -4)

Find the value of x and the measure of each labeled angle. (8x - 20ºX (5x + 37)​
11111nata11111 [884]

According to above figure, the angles (8x - 20)° and (5x + 37)° are pairs of vertical opposite angles, so

  • 8x - 20 = 5x + 37

  • 8x - 5x = 37 + 20

  • 3x = 57

  • x = 57 ÷ 3

  • x = 19
