The distance between the ships changing at 92.29 Knots
- Using the position of ship A as the reference point, at time t measured in hours past noon, ship A is 18 t miles west of this point and ship B is 40 + 17t north of this point.
- The distance between ships is then
The rate of change of distance is -
after putting t = 5 into this rate of change ,
we get, answer = 92.29

We can factor this polynomial using grouping. What we do is split the 36p into into parts so that we can factor the polynomial one half at a time.
To do so, we first multiply the leading coeffient by the constant. In other words, a times c where
. After multiplying 4 and 81, we get 324. Now we need to find two numbers that multiply to be 324 and add to be 36.
The factors of 324 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12,18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, and 324.
The pair of numbers that works in this case are 18 and 18 since 324 is a perfect square.
Now we split the 36p:
Now factor both halves.
We have a common binomial of 2p+9 that can be factored out it get
