A light shines from the top of a pole 50ft high. a ball is dropped from the same height from a point 30 ft away from the light.

how fast is the ball's shadow moving along the ground 1/2 sec later? (assume the ball falls at a distance of s=16t^2 in t sec)

The speed of the ball is 
ds/dt = 32t
At t =1/2 s
ds/dt = 16 ft/s
The distance from the ground
50 - 16(1/2)^2 = 46 ft
The triangles formed are similar
50/46 = (30 + x)/x
x = 345 ft

50 / (50 - s) = (30 + x)/x
Taking the derivative and substituing
ds/dt = 16
and
Solve for dx/dt

Answer:

m = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find scale factor

12/8 = 3/2 = 1.5

2)  6x1.5 = 9

OR

1) Set up proportion -> 6/8 = m/12

2) Cross multiply -> 8m = 72

3) Divide both sides by 8

4) m = 9
