Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is increasing is 68 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.
Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.
Let z represent the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
Therefore
z² = x² + y²
To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes
2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1
One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that
dx/dt = 32
dy/dt = 60
Distance = speed × time
Since t = 0.5 hour, then
x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles
y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles
z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900
z = √1156
z = 34 miles
Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes
2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60
68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600
68dz/dt = 4624
dz/dt = 4624/68
dz/dt = 68 mph
Answer: -16
Step-by-step explanation:
49 would be the result of -7 squared. Due to the fact it is negative, it would cancel out to be positive.
For the numerator, 49-1 is equivalent to 48.
48/x+4
-7+4 = -3
48/-3
= -16
Answer:
3/2 or 1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
This system has one solution (x=2 and y=2), then the answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations is:
(1)
(2)
Let's multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract it to the second equation
Using this value in (1) we can find y.
Therefore, this system has one solution (x=2 and y=2), the answer is A.
