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

Which of the following represents "next integer after the integer n"?<br> On<br> On + 1<br> O2n
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Integer: A non fractional complete number is known as integer. It can be either positive or negative or zero.

For examples : ...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...

It is a clear that the difference between two consecutive integers is 1. It means we have to add 1 in the integer to get the next integer.

We need to express "next integer after the integer n" mathematically. So, we need to add 1 in n.

Required expression =n+1

Hence, the next integer after the integer n is n+1.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
