Answer:

The diagonal is increasing at the rate of 119/104cm/min of the given rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the rectangle

Height = 5cm

Rate of base = 3/2 cm/min

Area = 60cm^2

We know the area of a rectangle of given by = base* Height

b*h = 60

b*5 = 60

b = 12cm

Applying Pythagoras theorem while drawing a diagonal to the rectangle

  b^2 +h^2 =  D^2\\

 5^2 +12^2 = 13^2

so our diagonal will be 13cm  

Upon differentiating the area of the rectangle  we get

b*h = A=60cm^2

using  the chain rule of differentiation

h*db/dt + b*dh/dt  = 0

b*dh/dt = -h*db/dt

12*dh/dt = -5*3/2

dh/dt = -5/8 cm//min

so the height of the rectangle is decreasing at the rate of -5/8cm/min

now we have all the measurements we need

b = 12 , db/dt = 3/2cm/min

h = 5 , dh/dt = -5/8 cm/min

b^2 +h^2  = D^2

Upon differentiating we get

2b*db/dt + 2h*dh/dt = 2D*dD/dt

b*db/dt + h*dh/dt = D*dD/dt

12*3/2 + 5*(-5/8) = 13*dD/dt

18 -25/8 = 13*dD/dt

\frac{144-25}{8} = 13*dD/dt

dD/dt = \frac{119}{104} cm/min

Therefore the diagonal is increasing at the rate of 119/104cm/min of the given rectangle.

Change to Slope-Intercept form (Y=MX+B) Show all your work!!!! 2x-y=2​
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y=2

   +y  +y      1)add y to both sides

2x=y+2

-2     -2        2) Substract 2 from both sides

2x-2=y

y=2x-2         3) Use the Refelxive POE to flip the sides

A cyclist travels at an average speed of 13 mph for 3 hours.<br> How far did she travel in miles?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

39 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a cyclist travelled at an average rate of 13 miles per hour for 3 hours and are asked to how far she travelled in miles.

To solve, we need to take into mind that for three hours, the cyclist drove 13 miles per hour.

Meaning that for every hour, 13 miles were driven.

Therefore we need to multiply 13 by 3 to get our answer :

13 miles * 3hrs

39 miles
