Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is increasing is 68 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.
Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.
Let z represent the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
Therefore
z² = x² + y²
To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes
2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1
One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that
dx/dt = 32
dy/dt = 60
Distance = speed × time
Since t = 0.5 hour, then
x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles
y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles
z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900
z = √1156
z = 34 miles
Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes
2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60
68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600
68dz/dt = 4624
dz/dt = 4624/68
dz/dt = 68 mph
Answer:
Not a right triangle
Obtuse isosceles triangle.
Sides: J = 3.606 K = 6 L = 3.606
Answer:
the roots are {-4/3, 4/3}
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin the solution of 11=6|-2z| -5 by adding 5 to both sides:
11=6|-2z| -5 becomes 16 = 6|-2z|.
Dividing both sides by 12 yields
16/12 = |-z|
There are two cases here: first, that one in which z is positive and second the one in which z is negative.
If z is positive, 4/3 = -z, and so z = -4/3, and:
If z is negative, 4/3 = z
Thus the roots are {-4/3, 4/3}
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
If a bagel costs $0.80 any day, then the unit price
is $0.80 per bagel.
If the unit price of a bagel is $0.80 , then every bagel
you buy costs $0.80 .
Only one thing changes: The price of a dozen on Wednesday.
If you buy 1 dozen ... or any number of dozens ... on Wednesday,
then the unit price of the contents of that bag is
($6.00) / (1 dozen) = $6.00 per dozen
If you want to convert that to a
different unit of measure, then
you do it like this:
(6.00 $/dozen) x (1 dozen/12 bagels)
= (6.00 x 1 / 12) ($/bagel)
= 0.5 $/bagel
or $0.50 / bagel .
