A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 7 ft/s along

a straight path. How fast is the tip of his shadow moving when he is 30 ft from the pole?

Answer:

Since only his speed affects how fast his shadow moves, then we calculate for the speed which is 11.67ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming similar triangle

(y-x)/y = 6/15

15(y-x) = 6y

15y - 15x = 6y

(15 -6)y = 15x

9y = 15x

y = (5/3)x

By differentiating both sides with respect to time t

dy/dt = 5/3 (dx/dt)

But (dx/dt) is 7 ft/s

Therefore dy/dt = 5/3 * 7 = 35/3 = 11.67ft/s

Lynna [10]

Answer:

1 hour = $9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that:

Brody makes $78.20 in 8.5 hours.

So,

8.5 hours = $78.20

We need to find 1 hour pay.

So, divide both sides of the above equation by 8.5

8.5 / 8.5 hours = $78.20 / 8.5

1 hour = $9.2

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!

When purchased, the height of a Japanese maple sapling is 14 inches. The tree is expected to grow 2.5 inches each month. Which f
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial height of a Japanese maple sapling is 14 inches.

The tree is expected to grow 2.5 inches each month. This increase in height is linear, thus it is in arithmetic progression.

The expression for arithmetic progression is

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Where a = the first term of the series

d = common difference

Tn is the nth term of the series

n = the number of terms.

From the information given

a = 14 inches because it is the initial height of the tree

d = 2.5 because it is the difference in height between 2 consecutive months

n = m( number of months)

Tn = f(m)

function models the relationship between the height of the tree f(m) and the number of m months of growth will be

f(m) = 14 + 2.5(m-1)
