Mathematics

ivann1987 [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression;

            (x - 2)²  + 8²   = x²  

 To solve this problem, expand the expression in the parentheses;

      (x- 2)(x -2)  + 64  = x²

     ( x² - 2x -2x + 4) + 64  = x²

        x² - 4x + 4 + 64  = x²

        x² - 4x + 68  = x²

 Collect like terms;

           x² - x² - 4x + 68  = 0

                     -4x  = -68

                       x  = \frac{68}{4}  = 17

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 20 ft from the path and is kept f
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

0.128rad/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the between the man and the point on the path

θ = the angle

dx/dt = 4 ft/s

dθ/dt = rate is the searchlight rotating when the man is 15 ft from the point on the path closest to the searchlight

tan θ = x/20 ft

Cross Multiply

20tan θ = x

dx/dt = 20sec² θ dθ/dt

dθ/dt = 1/20 × cos² θ dx/dt

dθ/dt= 1/20 × cos² θ × 4

dθ/dt = 1/5 × cos² θ

Note : cos θ = 4/5

dθ/dt = 1/5 × (4/5)²

dθ/dt = 16/125

dθ/dt = 0.128rad/sec
