AB = 5
3x-4=5x-10
-3. -3
-4 = 2x -10
+10. +10
6 = 2x (divide by 2 on both sides)
X = 3

AB = 3x-4
3(3)-4 ( substitute for x)
9 - 4
= 5

3x-4=5x-10
Subtract 3x from both sides
-4=2x-10
Add 10 to both sides
6= 2x
X= 3
3 times 3-4
AB=5

The spherical balloon is inflated at the rate of 10 m³/sec. Find the rate at which the surface area is increasing when the radiu

rjkz [21]

The balloon has a volume $V$ dependent on its radius $r$ :

$V(r)=\dfrac43\pi r^3$

Differentiating with respect to time $t$ gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=4\pi r^2\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}$

If the volume is increasing at a rate of 10 cubic m/s, then at the moment the radius is 3 m, it is increasing at a rate of

$10\dfrac{\mathrm m^3}{\mathrm s}=4\pi (3\,\mathrm m)^2\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac5{18\pi}\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The surface area of the balloon is

$S(r)=4\pi r^2$

and differentiating gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{\mathrm dt}=8\pi r\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}$

so that at the moment the radius is 3 m, its area is increasing at a rate of

$\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{\mathrm dt}=8\pi(3\,\mathrm m)\left(\dfrac5{18\pi}\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)=\dfrac{20}3\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\rm s}$

A street light is at the top of a 25 ft pole. A 4 ft tall girl walks along a straight path away from the pole with a speed of 6

Burka [1]

Answer:

Tip of the shadow of the girl is moving with a rate of 7.14 feet per sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In the figure attached, Length of girl EC = 4 ft

Length of street light AB = 25 ft

Girl is moving away from the light with a speed = 6 ft per sec.

To Find : Rate ( $\frac{dw}{dt}$ ) of the tip (D) of the girl's shadow (BD) moving away from th

light.

Solution : Let the distance of the girl from the street light is = x feet

Length of the shadow CD is = y feet

Therefore, $\frac{dx}{dt}=6$ feet per sec. [Given]

In the figure attached, ΔAFE and ΔADE are similar.

By the property of similar triangles,

$\frac{x}{21}=\frac{x+y}{25}$

25x = 21(x + y)

25x = 21x + 21y

25x - 21x = 21y

4x = 21y

y = $\frac{4x}{21}$

Now we take the derivative on both the sides,

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{4}{21}\times \frac{dx}{dt}$

= $\frac{4}{21}\times 6$

= $\frac{8}{7}$

≈ 1.14 ft per sec.

Since w = x + y

Therefore, $\frac{dw}{dt}= \frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dw}{dt}=6+1.14$

= 7.14 ft per sec.

Therefore, tip of the shadow of the girl is moving with a rate of 7.14 feet per sec.
