Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is increasing is 68 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.
Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.
Let z represent the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
Therefore
z² = x² + y²
To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes
2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1
One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that
dx/dt = 32
dy/dt = 60
Distance = speed × time
Since t = 0.5 hour, then
x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles
y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles
z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900
z = √1156
z = 34 miles
Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes
2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60
68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600
68dz/dt = 4624
dz/dt = 4624/68
dz/dt = 68 mph
Answer:
(4, -2) (see attached)
Step-by-step explanation:
Vector addition on a graph is accomplished by placing the tail of one vector on the nose of the one it is being added to. The negative of a vector is in the direction opposite to the original.
__
<h3>vector components</h3>
The components of the vectors are ...
u = (1, -2)
v = (-6, -6)
Then the components of the vector sum are ...
2u -1/3v = 2(1, -2) -1/3(-6, -6) = (2 +6/3, -4 +6/3)
2u -1/3v = (4, -2)
<h3>graphically</h3>
The sum is shown graphically in the attachment. Vector u is added to itself by putting a copy at the end of the original. Then the nose of the second vector is at 2u.
One-third of vector v is subtracted by adding a vector to 2u that is 1/3 the length of v, and in the opposite direction. The nose of this added vector is the resultant: 2u-1/3v.
The resultant is in red in the attachment.
Answer:
12 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you put it like 15/9 = 20/x, then cross multiply and divide you do 9 times 20 you get 180, then you divide 180 by 15 and you get 12. Hope this helps!
