Let l be the length of a diagonal of a rectangle whose sides have lengths x and y, and assume that x and y vary with time. If x

increases at a constant rate of 19 ft/s and y decreases at a constant rate of 15 ft/s, how fast is the size of the diagonal changing when x

The rate of change of the size of the diagonal is; 25.2 ft/s

By Pythagoras theorem;

The length, l of a diagonal of a rectangle whose sides have lengths x and y is;

  • l² = x² + y².

In essence; the length of the diagonal is dependent on the length, x and y of the sides.

Therefore;

(dl/dt)² = (dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)²

where;

  • (dx/dt) = 19 ft/s
  • (dy/dt) = -15 ft/s

Therefore,

(dl/dt)² = 19² + (-15)²

(dl/dt)² = 361 + 225

dl/dt = √586

dl/dt = 25.2

Therefore, the size of the diagonal is changing at a rate of; 25.2 ft/s.

The x becomes negative because the negative sign at the start of the parenthesis distributes to everything inside parenthesis so x becomes -x and the double negative becomes +6 so that is why

********PLEASE HELP ****** DVD players are going out of fashion in the modern era. If 400,000 DVD players were sold this year an
abruzzese [7]
So 400,000 DVD sales with a 31% decline means in the 1st year following, there will be a decline of 124,000 DVDs sold. So we need to take 400,000 - 124,000, which equals a starting point for year two is 276,000 DVDs.

So a 31% decline on 276,000 = 85,560. So we need to subtract that from 85,560 from 276,000 which is 190,440. So at the end of the second year, DVD sales were only 190,440.  That's also out starting point of the 3rd year. 

So 31% of 190,440 equals 59,036.4 for the third year of DVD sales. So we need to subtract 59,036.4 from out third year starting point of 190,440, which equals 131,403.6, but since you can't have parts of DVDs, we'll round the decimal point fraction to a whole number to end up with 131,404 DVDs sold in year three.

So after three years of a 31% yearly decline in DVD sales you end up with DVD sales are 131,404
