An airplane is flying overhead at a constant elevation of 405 ft. A person is viewing the plane from a position 3040 ft from the

base of a radio tower. The airplane is flying horizontally away from the person. If the plane is flying at the rate of 640 ft/s, at what rate is the distance between the person and the plane increasing when the plane passes over the radio tower? At the moment the plane passes over the tower, the distance between the person and plane is changing at a rate of ________ft/s

Answer:

δL/δt = 634,38 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is shaped by  ( y = distance between aircraft and ground which is constant and equal to  405 f ) a person who is at ground level 3040 f away from the tower distance x = 3040 f   and the line between the aircraft and the person. Then we can use Pythagoras theorem and write

L ( distance between aircraft and person )

L²  =  x²  +  y²      or    L²  =  x²  + (405)²

Taken partial derivatives with respect to t we get:

2*L*δL/δt    =  2*x*δx/t + 0

Then      L*δL/δt = x*δx/dt

At the moment of the aircraft passing over the tower

x = 3040 ft       δx/δt = 640 ft/s   and L = √ ( 3040)² + (405)²

So   L  = √9241600  + 164025        L = √9405625   L ≈3066,9 ft

Then:

δL/δt = 3040*640/ 3066,9         units   [ ft * ft/s / ft ]   ft/s

δL/δt = 634,38 ft/s

What is the slope of the line containing the points (-2, 1) and (4, -3)?
Kay [80]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is always the ratio "y coordinate charge / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.

so, when going from (-2, 1) to (4, -3)

x changes by +6 (from -2 to 4).

y changes by -4 (from 1 to -3).

therefore, the slope is

-4/+6 = -4/6 = -2/3

Explain why 8 &lt; x &lt; 2 has no solution? need the answer quick
lord [1]

Answer:

8 < x < 2 has no solution because there is no number greater than 8 (8 < x), yet less than 2 (x < 2). It's impossible, so there is no solution.

If the inequality was something like 8 < x < 10, then it will work because 8 can be less than x and x can be less than 10.

Hope this helps and have a great rest of your day! :)
