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.

Complete question

A 29-meter ladder is sliding down a vertical wall so the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground is decreasing at 7 meters per minute. At a certain instant, the bottom of the ladder is 21 meters from the wall.

What is the rate of change of the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall at that instant(in meters per minute)

Answer:

\frac{dx}{dt}=11.94m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Slant height z=29m

Change in Vertical height  \triangle y=7m/s

Horizontal length x=21

Generally in finding the distance form the  top to the bottom of the wall it is mathematically given by

 x^2+y^2=z^2

 21^2+y^2=29^2

 y^2=29^2+21^2

 y=35.81

Generally solving for the differential equation is mathematically represented as

 x^2+y^2=29^2

 2x*\frac{dx}{dt} +2y*\frac{dy}{dt} =0

 x*\frac{dx}{dt} +y*\frac{dy}{dt} =0

 (21)*\frac{dx}{dt} +(35.81)*(-7) =0

 (21)*\frac{dx}{dt} -250.64 =0

 \frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{250.64}{21}

 \frac{dx}{dt}=11.94m/min
