YZ = 16. The triangles are congruent. This would be AAS so YZ = 16 because of CPCTC.
F(x) = x^(1/3)
f(8000) = 8000^(1/3) = 20
f'(x) = 1/3 * x^(-2/3)
f'(x) = 1/(3x^(2/3))
f'(8000) = 1/(3*8000^(2/3)) = 1/(3*400) = 1/1200
Linear approximation for f(x) about x = 8000
L(x) = f(8000) + f'(8000) (x−8000)
L(x) = 20 + 1/1200 (x−8000)
8030^(1/3) ≈ L(8030)
= 20 + 1/1200 (8030−8000)
= 20 + 30/1200
= 20 + 1/40
= 20.025
Answer:
a) -13.9 ft/s
b) 13.9 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The rate of his distance from the second base when he is halfway to first base can be found by differentiating the following Pythagorean theorem equation respect t:
(1)

(2)
Since:

When x = 45 (the batter is halfway to first base), D is:

Now, by introducing D = 100.62, x = 45 and dx/dt = 31 into equation (2) we have:

Hence, the rate of his distance from second base decreasing when he is halfway to first base is -13.9 ft/s.
b) The rate of his distance from third base increasing at the same moment is given by differentiating the folowing Pythagorean theorem equation respect t:

(3)
We have that D is:

By entering x = 45, dx/dt = 31 and D = 100.63 into equation (3) we have:

Therefore, the rate of the batter when he is from third base increasing at the same moment is 13.9 ft/s.
I hope it helps you!
I got 70 as the list price. If it’s multiple choice and 70 isn’t one of the answers I’m sorry
