A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 2 mi and a speed of 540 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate a

t which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 5 mi away from the station. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

The plane's distance from the radar station will increase about 8 miles per minute when it is 5 miles away from it.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the plane passes over the radar station, the current distance is the altitude h = 2. Then it moves b horizontally so that the distance to the station is 5. We can form a rectangle triangle using b, h and the hypotenuse 5. Therefore, b should satisfy

h²+b² = 5², since h = 2, h² = 4, as a result

b² = 25-4 = 21, thus

b = √21.

Since it moved √21 mi, then the time passed is √21/540 = 0.008466 hours, which is 0.51 minutes. Note that in 1 minute, the plane makes 540/60 = 9 miles.

The distance between the plane and the radar station after x minutes from the moment that the plane passes over it is given by the function

f(x) = \sqrt{((9x)^2 + 2^2)} = \sqrt{(81x^2+4)}

We have to compute the derivate of f in x = 0.51. The derivate of f is given by

f'(x) = \frac{162x}{2\sqrt{81x^2+4}}

also,

f'(0.51) = \frac{162*0.51}{2\sqrt{81*0.51^2+4}} = 8.2486

The plane's distance from the station will increase about 8 miles per minute.

What is the y-intercept for the equation y = 11x + 1?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

(0, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Determine the y-intercept</u>

Using the slope intercept form, we know that the equation is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  Therefore, looking at our equation, we can tell that b is 1 therefore the y-intercept is (0, 1)

Answer: (0, 1)

If a car has tires with a radius of 1.5 ft and the tires are spinning at 840 rpm (revolutions per
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

89·98 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we get the circumference of the tires:

Circumference = \pi × (radius × 2)

Circumference = 3.142 × (1·5 × 2)

Circumference = 3·142 × 3

Circumference = 9·426 ft

The circumference of the tire is equal to one round.

      1 round = 9·426 ft

840 rounds = ?

We cross multiply to get the length that the tires would cover in a minute

= <u>840 × 9·426</u>

       1

    1 minute = 7917·84 ft

60 minutes = ?

<u>60 × 7917·84</u>

          1

= 475070·4 ft

      5280 feet = 1 mile

475070·4 feet = ?

<u>475070·4 × 1</u>

     5280

475070·4 ÷ 5280 = speed of the car in mph

89·97545

Round this off to 2 decimal places...

= 89·98 mph

hope this helps! =)

Regarding control charts, changing from two-sigma limits to three-sigma limits: A. decreases the probability that the process av
Dima020 [189]

Changing from Two-sigma limits to three-sigma limits helps to reduce the probability that defects will be generated by the process. Hence the correct answer is C.

<h3>What is a Two-Sigma Limit?</h3>

This is used to refer to the inclusion of about ninety-five percent of data plotted on the normal distribution curve.

Three sigma-limit on the other hand is a statistical calculation where data fall within three standard deviations from a mean.

If in a manufacturing firm, the quality control unit issues out a polity to reject products that are within two standard deviations to their accepted mean, then more errors will be captured thus resulting in a lot of loss or defective products.
