Answer:

DL/dt = 17 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The ships and the port shape a right triangle

Ship  going west ( x-direction)   is traveling at 15 mph

Ship going north  (y-direction) is traveling at 10 mph

The distance L between ships is:

L²  = x² + y²

Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation with respect to time

we get

2*L*DL/dt = 2*x*Dx/dt  + 2*y*Dy/dt    (1)

In that equation we know:

Dx/dt  = 15 mph

Dy/dt  = 10 mph

At the moment  ship traveling from the east is at 3 miles from the port

then x = 3 m  and the other ship is at 4 miles north

then by Pythagoras theorem

L = √ 3² + 4²    L = 5

By substitution in equation 1

2*5*DL/dt  = 2*3*15 + 2*4*10

10* DL/dt  =  90  +  80

DL/dt = 170 / 10

DL/dt = 17 mph

5y = 3478 - 3c if the equation above, c is a constant. If y = 8 is a solution to the equation, what is the value of c?
docker41 [41]
What you would do is simply plug in 8 where y is and solve.
5(8)=3478-3c -Times 5 by 8
40=3478-3c  -Add 3c to the opposite side of the equal sign
40+3c=3478  -Subtract 40 from the opposite side of the equal sign
3c=3438  -Divide equation by 3
 c=1146

Hope this helps! :)
