Fantom [35]2 years ago

8 0

Answer:

-2 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Make variable's for each number

x is the first variable and y is the second

→ Form equations

2x + y = -8

x - y = 2

→ Solve

3x = -6

→ Divide both sides by 3

x = -2

→ Resubstitute that into one of the equations

-2 - y = 2

→ Add 2 on both sides

-y = 4 therefore y = -4

An airliner maintaining a constant elevation of 2 miles passes over an airport at noon traveling 500 mi/hr due west. At 1:00 PM,

butalik [34]

Answer:

$\frac{ds}{dt}\approx 743.303\,\frac{mi}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that airliners travel at constant speed. The equations for travelled distance of each airplane with respect to origin are respectively:

First airplane

$r_{A} = 500\,\frac{mi}{h}\cdot t\\r_{B} = 550\,\frac{mi}{h}\cdot t$

Where t is the time measured in hours.

Since north and west are perpendicular to each other, the staight distance between airliners can modelled by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

$s=\sqrt{r_{A}^{2}+r_{B}^{2}}$

Rate of change of such distance can be found by the deriving the expression in terms of time:

$\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{r_{A}\cdot \frac{dr_{A}}{dt}+r_{B}\cdot \frac{dr_{B}}{dt}}{\sqrt{r_{A}^{2}+r_{B}^{2}} }$

Where $\frac{dr_{A}}{dt} = 500\,\frac{mi}{h}$ and $\frac{dr_{B}}{dt} = 550\,\frac{mi}{h}$ , respectively. Distances of each airliner at 2:30 PM are:

$r_{A}= (500\,\frac{mi}{h})\cdot (1.5\,h)\\r_{A} = 750\,mi$

$r_{B}=(550\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (1.5\,h)\\r_{B} = 825\,mi$

The rate of change is:

$\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{(750\,mi)\cdot (500\,\frac{mi}{h} )+(825\,mi)\cdot(550\,\frac{mi}{h})}{\sqrt{(750\,mi)^{2}+(825\,mi)^{2}} }$

$\frac{ds}{dt}\approx 743.303\,\frac{mi}{h}$
