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

Is the system of equations consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent?
ollegr [7]

Answer: Consistent and independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system of equations:

y = 4x - 4

y = -4x + 4.

Now, first let's define the terms used in the question.

consistent and independent: we have only one solution.

consistent and dependent: we have infinite solutions.

inconsistent: we do not have solutions.

Now, let's look at the system:

y = 4x - 4

y = -4x + 4.

Let's take the quotient between both the equations:

(y/y) = (4x - 4)/(-4x + 4)

1 = (4x - 4)/(-4x + 4)

let's see if we can solve this for x.

1*(-4x + 4) = 4x - 4

-4*x + 4 = 4x - 4

-4x - 4x = -4 - 4

-8*x = -8

x = -8/-8 = 1.

and to find the value of y, we can input this value of x in one of the equations:

y = 4*1 - 4 = 0.

Then we have only one solution, (1, 0).

(and will be the same if you input x in the other equation, as the right side is minus the right side of the first equation)

Then the system is consistent and independent.

Tisha and her academic team are working to go to state finals. They must have a certain number of points to advance. They have h
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

b=\frac{T-a-c-d}{3}

b = (T - a - c - d) / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of points required to advance.

a, c and d are points scored in the local matches, and b is the number of points scored in the district match. If b is worth 3 times as much as the other matches, the total number of points is given by:

T=a+c+d+3b

Isolate b in order to find out how many points they need in the district match:

T=a+c+d+3b\\3b=T-a-c-d\\b=\frac{T-a-c-d}{3}

They need to score (T - a - c - d)/3, in the district match in order to win.

In triangle ABC, the size of angle B is 4 times the size of angle A, and the size of angle C is 6°
amid [387]

Answer:

<A = 18.6 Degree

<B =74.4 Degree

<C = 87 Degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of all the angles of triangle is 180

as given ,

<A = ?

<B = 4<A

<C = 5 <A - 6

As per rule ,

<A + <B +<C = 180

<A + 4 <A + 5<A - 6 = 180

10 <A - 6 = 180

10 <A = 180 + 6

<A = 186 / 10

<A = 18.6 Degree

Hence ,

< B =  4 X (18.6)

< B = 74.4 Degree

and

<C = 5 (18.6) - 6

<C = 87 Degree

PROOF

<A + <B + <C = 180

18.6 + 74.4 + 87 = 180

180 = 180
