Answer:
0.128rad/sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the between the man and the point on the path
θ = the angle
dx/dt = 4 ft/s
dθ/dt = rate is the searchlight rotating when the man is 15 ft from the point on the path closest to the searchlight
tan θ = x/20 ft
Cross Multiply
20tan θ = x
dx/dt = 20sec² θ dθ/dt
dθ/dt = 1/20 × cos² θ dx/dt
dθ/dt= 1/20 × cos² θ × 4
dθ/dt = 1/5 × cos² θ
Note : cos θ = 4/5
dθ/dt = 1/5 × (4/5)²
dθ/dt = 16/125
dθ/dt = 0.128rad/sec
First find the square root of -24 which would be -4.898979486 then either subtract 1 or add negative 1, it's the same thing, and that would give you -5.898979486.
The difference between 11.0 and 12.5 is 1.5 and same with 12.5 and 14.0, so 1.5 is what the hair increases by every THREE months but if you want to find PER month, you are going to divide 1.5 by those 3 months to get .5 inches per month, so your slope will be 1/2
125/200= 0.625 cents
0.625 cents to the nearest cent= 0.63
The unit rate is 0.63 miles.
Hope this helps!
