The decrease is 25% so this means that 22 is 75% of the original number (100% - 25% = 75%)

Divide 22 by 75%:

22/ 0.75 = 29.3

The answer is 29.3

pshichka [43]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{\sqrt{d^{2}+900}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A road is perpendicular to a highway leading to a farmhouse d miles away.

An automobile passes through the point of intersection with a constant speed $\frac{dx}{dt}$ = r mph

Let x be the distance of automobile from the point of intersection and distance between the automobile and farmhouse is 'h' miles.

Then by Pythagoras theorem,

h² = d² + x²

By taking derivative on both the sides of the equation,

$(2h)\frac{dh}{dt}=(2x)\frac{dx}{dt}$

$(h)\frac{dh}{dt}=(x)\frac{dx}{dt}$

$(h)\frac{dh}{dt}=rx$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{rx}{h}$

When automobile is 30 miles past the intersection,

For x = 30

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{h}$

Since $h=\sqrt{d^{2}+(30)^{2}}$

Therefore,

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{\sqrt{d^{2}+(30)^{2}}}$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{\sqrt{d^{2}+900}}$
