Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a related rates problem from calculus using implicit differentiation. The main equation is going to be Pythagorean's Theorem and then the derivative of that. Pythagorean's Theorem is
where c is the hypotenuse and is a constant. Therefore, the derivative of this with respect to time, and using implicit differentiation is
and dividing everything by 2 to simplify a bit:
. Upon analyzing that equation, it looks like we need values for x, y,
, and
. And here's what we were given:
and
In the greater realm of things, that's nothing at all.
BUT we can use the right triangle and the angle we were given to find both x and y. The problem we are looking to solve is to
Find
at the instant that
= .5.
Solving for x and y:
and
6tan45 = x ( and since this is a 45-45-90 triangle, y = x):
so
and now we can fill in our derivative. Remember the derivative was found to be
so
and
and
and multiplying by the reciprocal of the left gives us:
so

(-4,-5)(-6,3)
slope(m) = (3 - (-5) / (-6 - (-4)
slope(m) = (3 + 5) / (-6 + 4)
slope(m) = 8/-2 = -4
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -4
u can use either of ur points...I will use (-6,3)
3 = -4(-6) + b
3 = 24 + b
3 - 24 = b
- 21 = b <== here ya go
Answer: 80
Step-by-step explanation:
50+50=100
180-100=80
