Let w be the width of the deck. Then, using the total area, we get:
(9+2w)(18+2w)=400
4w²+54w-238=0
2w²+27w-119=0
(2w-7)(w+17)=0
w=-17 or 7/2
Using the positive value, we get a width of 3&1/2 ft. for the deck

A particle is moving along the curve y= 4sqrt(5x+11) . As the particle passes through the point (5,24) , its -coordinate increas
kupik [55]

The rate of change of the distance from the particle to the origin at this instant is 3 units per second.

<h3>What is the rate of change?</h3>

The instantaneous rate of change is the rate of change at a particular instant.

A particle is moving along the curve

y= 4\sqrt{5x+11} .

The rate of change of y is given as:

dy / dx = 2

by differentiating both sides,

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 4\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{5x+11} }  5\dfrac{dx}{dt} \\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{5x+11} }\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\

From the question, we have:

(x, y) =  (5,24)

Substitute 5 for x and dy / dx = 2

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{5x+11} }\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\\\5= \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{5(5)+11} }\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\\\\sqrt{5(5)+11} = 2\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 6/ 2 = 3

Hence, the rate of change of the distance from the particle to the origin at this instant is 3 units per second.

Find the measure of the angle that is 15x.
Naddika [18.5K]
15x would be the vertical angle of 16x -8 and since vertical angles are equal, then 15x = 16x -8.

15x = 16x -8
x = 8 and so the angle 15x = 15 * 8
which equals 120 degrees.
