Answer:
Dy/dt = 11.67 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation: See Annex
In Annex, Triangles ACE and BCD are similar then, we can write
( y- x ) / y = 6 / 15
15*y -15*x = 6*y
15*y - 6*y = 15*x
9*y = 15*x
y = (15/9)*x
Differentiating with respect time on both sides of the equation we get
Dy/dt = (15/9) Dx/dt (1)
Where we know Dx/dt = 7 ft/s, and according to (1) Dy/dt does not depend on x (distance between man and the pole, only depend on the speed f the man
Dy/dt = (15/9) * 7
Dy/dt = 11.67 ft/s
Answer:
slope = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 8)
m =
=
= - 1
Answer:
3/8 is less than 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
3/8 is 0.375 as a decimal
11/12 is 0.92 as a decimal
so 3/8 is less than 11/12
It always helps to turn them into decimals...
