(a) ft/s
(b) 1ft/s
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>Given equation;
y = (- 16x² + 50x + 3)ft -------------(i)
Where;
y is measured in feet(ft)
x is measured in seconds(s).
(a) The rate of change of y with respect to x is found by dividing the total change in y by the total change in x. i.e
Δy / Δx
Where;
Δy = y₂ - y₁
Δx = x₂ - x₁
∴ Δy / Δx = --------------(ii)
Since y is measured in feet, Δy will also be measured in feet.
Also, since x is measured in seconds, Δx will also be measured in seconds.
Therefore, the rate of change of y with respect to x (Δy / Δx) will be measured in feet per second (ft/s)
(b) The rate of change of y between x = 0 and x = 2 can be found by using equation (ii)
Where;
y₂ is the value of y at x = 2 found by substituting x = 2 into equation (i)
y₁ is the value of y at x = 0 found by substituting x = 0 into equation (i)
=> y₂ = - 16(2)² + 50(2) + 3 = 39
=> y₁ = - 16(1)² + 50(1) + 3 = 37
Now, substitute the values of y₂, y₁, x₂ and x₁ into equation (ii)
Δy / Δx =
Δy / Δx =
Δy / Δx = 1
Therefore, the rate of change of y is 1 ft/s
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
h= 1000 ft
dx/dt= 232 ft/sec
D= 1600 ft
First, we have to find a distance x ( shown in the figure)
applying pythagorus theorem
D^2= h^2+x^2................1
x^2= D^2-h^2
= 1600^2-1000^2
x^2= 1560000
x=1248.99 m
Now we can find out how fast the aircraft is receding from the trawler
( notice that the height is not changing)
so differentiating equation 1 w.r.t t we get
2DD'= 2hh'+2xx'
now putting values we get
Answer: -54
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is the first term of a geometric sequence is −2 and the common ratio is 3. The formula for finding the nth term of a geometric sequence is: ar^n-1
where,
a = first term = -2
r = common ratio = 3
n = number of terms = 4
The solution has been attached. The answer is -54
