Step-by-step explanation:
Using R, I used the following code to create a histogram:
bowling.scores <- c(87, 104, 79, 94, 117, 82, 72, 116, 105, 95, 88, 93, 109, 119, 75,
103, 112, 97, 73, 85, 91, 86, 102, 99, 106, 84, 98, 83, 81, 96, 92)
data.frame(bowling.scores)
ggplot(data.frame(bowling.scores), aes(x=bowling.scores)) +
xlim(c(70, 120)) +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 10, by=1), "Frequency") +
geom_histogram(breaks=seq(70, 120, by=10), color="black", fill="grey60") +
labs(title="Histogram of Bowling Scores", x="Bowling Scores", y="Frequency")
Answer:
The rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing is 331 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing by imaging the formation of a right triangle with the following dimensions:
a: is one side of the triangle = altitude of the plane = 3 miles
b: is the other side of the triangle = the distance traveled by the plane when it is 4 miles away from the station and an altitude of 3 miles
h: is the hypotenuse of the triangle = distance between the plane and the station = 4 miles
First, we need to find b:
(1)
Now, to find the rate we need to find the derivative of equation (1) with respect to time:
Since "da/dt" is constant (the altitude of the plane does not change with time), we have:
And knowing that the plane is moving at a speed of 500 mi/h (db/dt):
Therefore, the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing is 331 miles per hour.
