Answer:

<h3>B. The must gain 20 yards to keep possession</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of yards gained be positive

Let the number of yards lost be negative

Since the total that must be gained in the next four games is 10, hence the total is +10

If The Tigers lose 24 yards, gain 4 yards, and lose 10 yards in the first three rounds with x being the number of yards in the fourth round, this is expressed as;

-24 + 4 - 10 + x = 10

-20 - 10 + x = 10

-30 + x = -10

x = -10 + 30

x = 20

Hence they need 20 yards in the last round to keep possession

A point P(x,y) moves along the graph of the equation y = x3 + x2 + 2. The x-values are changing at the rate of 2 units per secon
CaHeK987 [17]

Using implicit differentiation, it is found that y is changing at a rate of 10 units per second.

---------------------

The equation is:

y = x^3 + x^2 + 2

Applying implicit differentiation in function of t, we have that:

\frac{dy}{dt} = 3x^2\frac{dx}{dt} + 2x\frac{dx}{dt}

  • x-values changing at a rate of 2 units per second means that \frac{dx}{dt} = 2
  • Point Q(1,4) means that x = 1, y = 4.

We want to find \frac{dy}{dt}, thus:

\frac{dy}{dt} = 3x^2\frac{dx}{dt} + 2x\frac{dx}{dt}

\frac{dy}{dt} = 3(1)^2(2) + 2(1)(2) = 6 + 4 = 10

y is changing at a rate of 10 units per second.
