The image of this question is missing and so i have attached it.

Answer:

dd/dt = 4.47 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, let's denote the following;

d = horizontal distance beneath pulley

h = height of pulley

l = diagonal from the pulley to the head of the person

v = velocity of rope rising

Using pythagoras theorem;

l² = d² + h²

Differentiating with respect to time and considering h = c^(te) gives;

2l(dl/dt) = 2d(dd/dt)

We are given;

d = 20 ft

h = 10 ft

v = 4 ft/s

We know that velocity in this case is change in diagonal distance with time. Thus;

v = dl/dt = 4 ft/s

From earlier, we saw that;

2l(dl/dt) = 2d(dd/dt)

Thus, reducing it gives

(dl/dt)(l/d) = dd/dt

Now, l² = d² + h²

l = √(d² + h²)

Also, v = dl/dt = 4

Thus;

4(√(d² + h²))/d = dd/dt

4(√(20² + 10²))/20 = dd/dt

dd/dt = 4.47 ft/s

Pie
1) -13 = -4a - 2b + c
 -13 = -2(2a + b) + c

2) 3 = 4a + 2b +c
  3 = 2(2a + b) + c

3) 5 = 16a + 4b + c
5 = 4(4a + b) + c

ANEK [815]
Hello!

We drove a total of 504 miles in 9 hours. How I solved this equation is by dividing 504 by 9. 504 / 9 = 56, as the answer. You could also solve this just by adding how many times 9 can go into 504, but that will be longer for the same result.
Enjoy.
