Answer:

The rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of "1" mi and a speed of "430" mi/h passes directly over a radar station.

z=1

\frac{dx}{dt}=430

We need to find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station.

y=2

According to Pythagoras

hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2

y^2=x^2+1^2

y^2=x^2+1               .... (1)

Put z=1 and y=2, to find the value of x.

2^2=x^2+1^2

4=x^2+1

4-1=x^2

3=x^2

Taking square root both sides.

\sqrt{3}=x

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to t.

2y\frac{dy}{dt}=2x\frac{dx}{dt}+0

Divide both sides by 2.

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

Put x=\sqrt{3}, y=2, \frac{dx}{dt}=430 in the above equation.

2\frac{dy}{dt}=\sqrt{3}(430)

Divide both sides by 2.

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{\sqrt{3}(430)}{2}

\frac{dy}{dt}=372.390923627

\frac{dy}{dt}\approx 372

Therefore the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.

Find the value of n and yz if y is between x and z. xy = 4n 3. yz = 2n-7, xz = 20 yz = need help with this question?
Helga [31]

The value of n is 4 and yz is 1 if y is between x and z i.e. if y, x and z are collinear points.

According to the given question.

We have some linear equations.

xy = 4n + 3

yz = 2n - 7

and

xz = 20

Since, y is between x and z. Which means y, x and z are collinear points.

Therefore,

xy + yz = xz

⇒ 4n + 3 + 2n - 7 = 20

⇒ 6n -4 = 20

⇒ 6n = 20 + 4

⇒ 6n = 24

⇒ n = 24/6

⇒ n = 4

Therefore,

yz = 2n - 7 = 2(4) - 7 = 8- 7 = 1

Hence, the value of n is 4 and yz is 1 if y is between x and z i.e. if y, x and z are collinear points.
