Answer:

The value of x at this instant is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x\cdot y = 18, we get an additional equation by implicit differentiation:

x\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}+y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt} = 0 (1)

From the first equation we find that:

x = \frac{18}{y} (2)

By applying (2) in (1), we get the resulting expression:

\frac{18}{y}\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}+y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt} = 0 (3)

y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{18}{y}\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = -\frac{18}{y^{2}} \cdot \frac{dy}{dt}

If we know that y = 6 and \frac{dy}{dt} = 8, then the first derivative of x in time is:

\frac{dx}{dt} = -\frac{18}{6^{2}} \cdot (8)

\frac{dx}{dt} = -4

From (1) we determine the value of x at this instant:

x\cdot \frac{dy}{dt} = -y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}

x = -y\cdot \left(\frac{\frac{dx}{dt} }{\frac{dy}{dt} } \right)

x = -6\cdot \left(\frac{-4}{8} \right)

x = 3

The value of x at this instant is 3.

Travka [436]

Answer:

Aidan is 2 miles far from the ending point when he reaches the water station.

Step-by-step explanation:

The locations of the starting point, water station and ending point are (3, 1), (3, 7) and (3, 9), all expressed in miles. First we determine the distances between starting and ending points and between starting point and water station by the Pythagorean Theorem:

From starting point to ending point:

D = \sqrt{(3-3)^{2}+(9-1)^{2}} (Eq. 1)

D = 8\,mi

From starting point to water station:

d = \sqrt{(3-3)^{2}+(7-1)^{2}} (Eq. 2)

d = 6\,mi

The distance between the water station and the ending point is:

s = D-d (Eq. 3)

s = 8\,mi-6\,mi

s = 2\,mi

Hence, Aidan is 2 miles far from the ending point when he reaches the water station.

lawyer [7]
Let
x be the distance that the truck has left to travel
t be the the time

The total distance is 1675 miles
The average speed is 55 miles per hour

The equation that represents the distance that the truck has left to travel with respect to time is
55t + x =1675
x = -55t + 1675
