Answer:

T = 4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Ben's age

2x = Chloe's age

x - 5 = Dan's age

Combine all the terms and simplify to form an equation.

T = 2x + x + x -5

T = 4x - 5

A street light is at the top of a 25 ft pole. A 4 ft tall girl walks along a straight path away from the pole with a speed of 6

Burka [1]

Answer:

Tip of the shadow of the girl is moving with a rate of 7.14 feet per sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In the figure attached, Length of girl EC = 4 ft

Length of street light AB = 25 ft

Girl is moving away from the light with a speed = 6 ft per sec.

To Find : Rate ( $\frac{dw}{dt}$ ) of the tip (D) of the girl's shadow (BD) moving away from th

light.

Solution : Let the distance of the girl from the street light is = x feet

Length of the shadow CD is = y feet

Therefore, $\frac{dx}{dt}=6$ feet per sec. [Given]

In the figure attached, ΔAFE and ΔADE are similar.

By the property of similar triangles,

$\frac{x}{21}=\frac{x+y}{25}$

25x = 21(x + y)

25x = 21x + 21y

25x - 21x = 21y

4x = 21y

y = $\frac{4x}{21}$

Now we take the derivative on both the sides,

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{4}{21}\times \frac{dx}{dt}$

= $\frac{4}{21}\times 6$

= $\frac{8}{7}$

≈ 1.14 ft per sec.

Since w = x + y

Therefore, $\frac{dw}{dt}= \frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dw}{dt}=6+1.14$

= 7.14 ft per sec.

Therefore, tip of the shadow of the girl is moving with a rate of 7.14 feet per sec.

Arte-miy333 [17]

The question is incorrect
the correct question is
A local citizen wants to fence a rectangular community garden. The length of the garden should be at least 110 ft,and the distance around should be no more than 380 ft. Write a system of inequality that model the possible dimensions of he garden. Graph the system to show all possible solutions

let
x---------------> the length of the garden
y---------------> the wide of the garden

we know that
x>=110
2x+2y <=380---------------> x+y <= 190

Part A) Write a system of inequality that model the possible dimensions of he garden

the answer part A) is
x>=110
x+y <= 190

Part B) Graph the system to show all possible solutions

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is the triangle show in the figure

the possible solutions of y (wide) would be between 0 and 80 ft
the possible solutions of x (length) would be between 110 ft and 190 ft
