A police car is approaching a right-angled intersection from the north at 35 mph, and a speeding car is heading east at 30 mph.

When the police car is 0.75 miles north of the intersection and the speeding car is 1 mile to the east, what is the rate that the distance between the police car and car is changing?

Answer:

The rate that the distance between the police car and car is changing = 3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The given speed of the police car = 35 mph

The speed of the speeding car = 30 mph

The position of the police car = 0.75 miles north

The position of the speeding car = 1 miles east

The distance of the police car from the speeding car, d = √(0.75² + 1²) = 1.25

d² = x² + y²

2d·dd/dt = 2x·dx/dt + 2·y·dy/dt

Where;

dx/dt = 30 mph

dy/dt = -35 mph

x = 1

y = 0.75

Substituting gives;

2×1.25 ×dd/dt = 2×1×30 - 2×0.75×35

2×1.25 ×dd/dt = 7.5

dd/dt = 7.5/2.5 = 3

dd/dt = 3 m/s

The rate that the distance between the police car and car is changing = dd/dt = 3 m/s

Find the intersection points using substitution or elimination for each system of equations:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so I think I know what the equations are, but I might have misinterpreted them because of the syntax- I think when you ask a question you can use the symbols tool to input it in a more clear way, otherwise you can use parentheses and such.

Problem 1:

(x²)/4 +y²= 1

y= x+1

*substitute for y*

Now we have a one-variable equation we can solve-

x²/4 + (x+1)² = 1

x²/4 + (x+1)(x+1)= 1

x²/4 + x²+2x+1= 1

*subtract 1 from both sides to set equal to 0*

x²/4 +x^2+2x=0

x²/4 can also be 1/4 * x²

1/4 * x² +1*x² +2x = 0

*combine like terms*

5/4 * x^2+2x+ 0 =0

now, you can use the quadratic equation to solve for x

a= 5/4

b= 2

c=0

the syntax on this will be rough, but I'll do my best...

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x= (-2 ±√(2²-4*(5/4)*(0))/(2*(5/4))

x= (-2 ±√(4-0))/(2.5)

x= (-2±2)/2.5

x will have 2 answers because of ±

x= 0 or x= 1.6

now plug that back into one of the equations and solve.

y= 0+1 = 1

y= 1.6+1= 2.6

Hopefully this explanation was enough to help you solve problem 2.

Problem 2:

x² + y² -16y +39= 0

y²- x² -9= 0

Linear equation
dybincka [34]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = \frac{1}{2} and (a, b) = (3, - 2) , thus

y - (- 2) = \frac{1}{2} (x - 3) , that is

y + 2 = \frac{1}{2}( x - 3) ← in point- slope form

(b)

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = \frac{1}{2} , thus

y = \frac{1}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = \frac{3}{2} + c ⇒ c = - 2 - \frac{3}{2} = - \frac{7}{2}

y = \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{7}{2} ← in slope- intercept form
