Two cars are heading toward the same intersection. Car A travels due east at 20 miles per hour, and Car B travels due north at 5

0 miles per hour. At what rate, in miles per hour, is the distance between the two cars decreasing when Car A is 0.375 miles from the intersection and Car B is 0.5 miles from the intersection?

Answer:

the distance between them is decreasing at a rate of 2 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

List all given rates and the unknown rate.

Write the formula that relates the variables in the problem: x, y, and s.

There’s a right triangle in the diagram, so you use the Pythagorean Theorem:

For this problem, x and y are the legs of the right triangle, and s is the hypotenuse, so

Differentiate with respect to t.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem again to solve for s.

x = 0.4

y = 0.3

You can reject the negative answer because s obviously has a positive length. So s = 0.5.

Now you’ve got everything you need to substitute into the differentiation result and solve for ds/dt.

This negative answer means that the distance, s, is decreasing. Thus, when car A is 3 blocks north of the intersection and car B is 4 blocks east of the intersection, the distance between them is decreasing at a rate of 2 mph.

Rectangle STUV is shown on a coordinate plane. Rectangle STUV with vertices S at negative 7 comma 6, T at negative 2 comma 6, U
rusak2 [61]

The coordinate of the point T after the given transformations is; T''(-2, -4)

<h3>How to carry out Translation Transformations?</h3>

We are given the coordinates of the rectangle STUV as;

S(-7, 6)

T(-2, 6)

U(-2, 1)

V(-7, 1)

Now, we are told that all these coordinates are translated using the transformation rule;  (x, y) → (x − 2, y − 4)

Thus, the new coordinates using this transformation rule are;

S'(-9, 2)

T'(-4, 2)

U'(-4, -3)

V'(-9, -3)

Now, we are told that these new points are  rotated 90° counterclockwise and as such the new coordinates formed will follow the pattern (x, y) → (-y, x).

Thus, our final coordinates are;

S''(-2, -9)

T''(-2, -4)

U''(3, -4)

V''(3, -9)

Thus, the coordinate of the point T after the given transformations is; T''(-2, -4)

I think the formula for the volume of a cone is V=(1/3) x hπr².

r²= 9

1/3= 0.3

= 0.3 x 4 x 3.14 x 9

= 33.912
