Answer:

18.87 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

First boat is heading North with a speed of 10 km/hr.

Second boat is heading West with a speed of 16 km/hr.

Time for which they move = 2.5 hours

To find:

The speed at which the distance is increasing between the two boats.

Solution:

Let the situation be represented by the attached diagram.

Their initial position is represented by point O from where they move towards point A and point B respectively.

Distance = Speed \times Time

Distance\ OA = 10 \times 2.5 = 25\ km

Distance\ OB = 16 \times 2.5 = 40\ km

We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance AB.

AB is the hypotenuse of the right angled \triangle AOB.

According to Pythagorean theorem:

\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 25^2 + 40^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 2225^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 \approx 47.17\ km

The speed at which distance is increasing between the two boats is given as:

\dfrac{47.17}{2.5} \approx 18.87\ km/hr

Answer:

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimum value is going to be in the y part of our coordinate, so we can just look there. I went ahead and used a graphing calculator to make things easy.

Starting off with option 2, we can see the minimum is -10. And in option 4 we can see the smallest y value is -6.

Using a graphing calculator (I used desmos), we can graph these other functions and figure out their minimums.

Option 1's y minimum is -7, and Option 3's y minimum is -2.25.

Option 1: -7

Option 2: -10

Option 3: -2.25

Option 4: -6

The questions asks for the <em>smallest</em> minimum value, which in this case is option 2.

Galina-37 [17]
Process:

2/3x -7 = 17
17 + 7 = 24
2/3x = 24

2/3 = 24/x
24 ÷ 2 = 12
12 x 3 = 36
x = 36



Answer: X = 36
