Wen was hiking on a 12-mile route. During the first 2 hours, his hiking speed was 3 mph. During the rest of the hike, his speed

was 2 mph. How long did the entire hike take?

The total time taken to cover 12 miles distance is 5 hours.

<u>Given the Parameters</u> :

Total distance hiked = 12 miles

Recall :

Distance = speed × time

Let :

Total Time taken = t

<u>We could create an equation thus</u> :

Total distance = 3(2) + 2(t - 2)

12 = 6 + 2t - 4

12 = 2 + 2t

12 - 2 = 2t

10 = 2t

t = 10/2

t = 5

Therefore, the total time taken is 5 hours

Quadrilateral RJFT is similar to quadrilateral SYPA . JF=60 mm , AP=40 mm , and YP=25 mm . What is TF ?

Hoochie [10]

The two quadrilaterals are similar. Which means the ratios of respective sides of two quadrilaterals will be the same.

So, for the given quadrilaterals, ratio of sides JF and TF of quadrilateral RJFT will be equal to the ratio of sides YP and AP of quadrilateral SYPA. Mathematically, we can write:

$JF:TF = YP:AP \\ \\ 
 \frac{JF}{TF} = \frac{YP}{AP} \\ \\ 
 \frac{60}{TF} = \frac{25}{40} \\ \\ 
60* \frac{40}{25}=TF \\ \\ 
TF=96mm$

So the measure of TF will be 96mm

Can someone thoroughly explain this implicit differentiation with a trig function. No matter how many times I try to solve this,

Anton [14]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=\frac{\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy}{(8+x^2)(1+\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2))}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$\tan(x-y)=\frac{y}{8+x^2}$

And we want to find dy/dx.

So, let's take the derivative of both sides:

$\frac{d}{dx}[\tan(x-y)]=\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{y}{8+x^2}]$

Let's do each side individually.

Left Side:

We have:

$\frac{d}{dx}[\tan(x-y)]$

We can use the chain rule, where:

$(u(v(x))'=u'(v(x))\cdot v'(x)$

Let u(x) be tan(x). Then v(x) is (x-y). Remember that d/dx(tan(x)) is sec²(x). So:

$=\sec^2(x-y)\cdot (\frac{d}{dx}[x-y])$

Differentiate x like normally. Implicitly differentiate for y. This yields:

$=\sec^2(x-y)(1-y')$

Distribute:

$=\sec^2(x-y)-y'\sec^2(x-y)$

And that is our left side.

Right Side:

We have:

$\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{y}{8+x^2}]$

We can use the quotient rule, where:

$\frac{d}{dx}[f/g]=\frac{f'g-fg'}{g^2}$

f is y. g is (8+x²). So:

$=\frac{\frac{d}{dx}[y](8+x^2)-(y)\frac{d}{dx}(8+x^2)}{(8+x^2)^2}$

Differentiate:

$=\frac{y'(8+x^2)-2xy}{(8+x^2)^2}$

And that is our right side.

So, our entire equation is:

$\sec^2(x-y)-y'\sec^2(x-y)=\frac{y'(8+x^2)-2xy}{(8+x^2)^2}$

To find dy/dx, we have to solve for y'. Let's multiply both sides by the denominator on the right. So:

$((8+x^2)^2)\sec^2(x-y)-y'\sec^2(x-y)=\frac{y'(8+x^2)-2xy}{(8+x^2)^2}((8+x^2)^2)$

The right side cancels. Let's distribute the left:

$\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2-y'\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2=y'(8+x^2)-2xy$

Now, let's move all the y'-terms to one side. Add our second term from our left equation to the right. So:

$\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2=y'(8+x^2)-2xy+y'\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2$

Move -2xy to the left. So:

$\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy=y'(8+x^2)+y'\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2$

Factor out a y' from the right:

$\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy=y'((8+x^2)+\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2)$

Divide. Therefore, dy/dx is:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=\frac{\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy}{(8+x^2)+\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2}$

We can factor out a (8+x²) from the denominator. So:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=\frac{\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy}{(8+x^2)(1+\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2))}$

And we're done!
