Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply slope/gradient formula: (12 - 36)/(11 - 8) = -24/3 = -8

This is a question on coordinate geometry. If you wish to venture further into it/understand this topic better, you may want to follow my Instagram account (learntionary), I have already posted the slope formula which you may want to save it for future reference and I'll also post some of my own notes on certain topics and also some tips that may be useful to you :)

Rs = 8y + 4 , ST = 4y + 8 , and RT = 36 , find the value of y

Natasha_Volkova [10]

I assume that you meant RS and ST are segments of RT. If that is true then:

RS+ST=RT, using the values for these given...

8y+4+4y+8=36 combine like terms on left side

12y+12=36 subtract 12 from both sides

12y=24 divide both sides by 12

y=2

Distance between two ships At noon, ship A was 12 nautical miles due north of ship B. Ship A was sailing south at 12 knots (naut

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) $\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}$ b.) -12knots, 8 knots c) No e) $4\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the initial distance between ships A and B was 12 nautical miles. Ship A moves at 12 knots(nautical miles per hour) south. Ship B moves at 8 knots east.

We know that at time t , the ship A has moved $12\dot t (n.m)$ and ship B has moved $8\dot t (n.m)$ . We also know that the ship A moves closer to the line of the movement of B and that ship B moves further on its line.

Using Pythagorean theorem, we can write the distance s as:

$\sqrt{(12-12\dot t)^2 + (8\dot t)^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+144t^2+64t^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}$

We want to find $\frac{ds}{dt}$ for t=0 and t=1

$\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}|\frac{d}{dt}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\dot (-288+416t)\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(0)=\frac{208\dot 0-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 0 + 209\dot 0^2}}=-12knots\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(1)=\frac{208\dot 1-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 1 + 209\dot 1^2}}=8knots$

We know that the visibility was 5n.m. We want to see whether the distance s was under 5 miles at any point.

Ships have seen each other = $s\leq 5\\\\\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}\leq 5\\\\144-288t+208t^2\leq 25\\\\199-288t+208t^2\leq 0$

Since function $f(x)=199-288x+208x^2$ is quadratic, concave up and has no real roots, we know that $199-288x+208x^2>0$ for every t. So, the ships haven't seen each other.

Attachedis the graph of s(red) and ds/dt(blue). We can see that our results from parts b and c were correct.

Function ds/dt has a horizontal asympote in the first quadrant if

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}$

So, lets check this limit:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208-\frac{144}{t}}{\sqrt{\frac{144}{t^2}-\frac{288}{t}+208}}\\\\=\frac{208-0}{\sqrt{0-0+208}}\\\\=\frac{208}{\sqrt{208}}\\\\=4\sqrt{13}$
