Answer:

≈ 29 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If t is the number of hours since noon, then the distance between ship A and the origin is 180 − 40t, and the distance between ship B and the origin is 35t.

Using Pythagorean theorem, the distance between the ships is:

d² = (35t)² + (180 − 40t)²

d² = 1225t² + 32400 − 14400t + 1600t²

d² = 2825t² − 14400t + 32400

Taking derivative with respect to time:

2d dd/dt = 5650t − 14400

dd/dt = (2825t − 7200) / d

First, find d when t = 4.

d² = 2825 (4)² − 14400 (4) + 32400

d² = 20000

d = 100√2

Now find dd/dt.

dd/dt = (2825(4) − 7200) / (100√2)

dd/dt = 41/√2

dd/dt ≈ 29 km/h

What is the value of x?<br><br> see attachment below
Kitty [74]

Answer:

  x = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the equal-length sides:

  63 = (x -10) +(x -10) +(x -10)

  63 = 3x -30 . . . . . . . . collect terms

  21 = x -10 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  31 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10

2(x + 4) − 1 = 2x + 7
Margarita [4]

Answer:

All real numbers are solutions to this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

I) Simplify:

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

x + 4 - 0.5 = x + 3.5 (Divide by 2)

x + 3.5 = x + 3.5 (Simplify <em>x + 4 - 0.5</em>)

x = x

II) Conclusion:

Any real number will work as a solution.
