Noel and Casey both start at the same place. Noel walks due south and Casey walks due east. After some time has passed, Noel is

6 miles south and Casey is 8 miles east. At this time, Noel is walking at a rate of 2 mph and Casey is walking at a rate of 1 mph. How fast is the distance between them increasing at this time

Answer:

2.04 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Noel

n_1 =6miles

r_1 = 2mph

Casey

c_1 = 8miles

r_2 =1mph

Required

The rate at which the distance increases

Their movement forms a right triangle and the distance between them is the hypotenuse.

At n_1 =6miles and c_1 = 8miles

The distance between them is:

d_1 = \sqrt{n_1^2 + c_1^2}

d_1 = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}

d_1 = \sqrt{100}

d_1 = 10miles

After 1 hour, their new position is:

New = Old + Rate * Time

n_2 = n_1 + r_1 * 1

n_2 = 6 + 2 * 1 = 8

And:

c_2 = c_1 + r_2 * 1

c_2 = 8 + 1 * 1 = 9

So, the distance between them is now:

d_2 = \sqrt{n_2^2 + c_2^2}

d_2 = \sqrt{8^2 + 9^2}

d_2 = \sqrt{145}

d_2 = 12.04

The rate of change is:

\triangle d = d_2 -d_1

\triangle d = 12.04 -10

\triangle d = 2.04

What is the quotient of the following division problem (x+ 1)÷(x^2 + 3x +2)
seraphim [82]

Note: Actually, the division problem should be in reverse order. It should be given as (x^{2} +3x+2) / (x+1) ---------(i)

But according to the given problem (x + 1) / (x² + 3 x + 2).

Here, (x² + 3 x + 2) > (x + 1)

or, (x + 2) > 1

Concept: By using the property of division, if the numerator is less than the denominator then the quotient will always be 0 (zero)

Therefore the option (d) 0 will be the correct option.

Is 6x and 4x+2 equivalent
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Is 6x and 4x+2 equivalent

? No!

Step-by-step explanation:

6x doesn't equal 4x+2

In order for them to be the same you would have to add the same terms example:

4x+2x would equal 6x

Extra explaining:

The only way for those term to be added would be if they had the same variable since only 4x has a variable the 2 cant be added. In math you CANNOT move your variables off of a number and add them back on after.
