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.

A taxi driver had 27 fares to and from the airport last Monday. The price for a ride to the airport is $14, and the price for a
OLga [1]

Answer:

(15, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's generate two systems of equations that fit this scenario.

Number of trips to the airport = x

Number of trips from the airport = y

Total number of trips to and from the airport = 27

Thus:

x + y = 27 => equation 1.

Total price for trips to the Airport = 14*x = 14x

Total price of trips from the airport = 7*y = 7y

Total collected for the day = $294

Thus:

14x + 7y = 294 => equation 2.

Multiply equation 1 by 7, and multiply equation 2 by 1 to make both equations equivalent.

7 × x + y = 27

1 × 14x + 7y = 294

Thus:

7x + 7y = 189 => equation 3

14x + 7y = 294 => equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

-7x = -105

Divide both sides by -7

x = 15

Substitute x = 15 in equation 1

x + y = 27

15 + y = 27

Subtract both sides by 15

y = 27 - 15

y = 12

The ordered pair would be (15, 12)

Jaheem has a goal running a total of 125 miles this month. Each day that he ran, he ran 7 miles. Which expression could Jaheem u
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a. 125 – 7d

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the number of days.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Total distance (month) = 125 miles

Distance covered per day = 7 miles

To determine how many miles he has left to run after running for "d" days, this mathematical expression can be used;

Total distance - distance covered per day = number of miles remaining

125 - 7d
