Answer:

OPTION B

Step-by-step explanation:

3 and 'a' are multiplied and 5 is subtracted from the result.

OPTION B says 5 less than 3 times a number would fit perfectly.

Other options talk about adding or taking ratios and clearly do not fit the case.

Hence, the right answer is Option B.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a related rates problem from calculus using implicit differentiation. The main equation is Pythagorean's Theorem. Basically, what we are looking for is $\frac{dx}{dt}$ when y = 6 and $\frac{dy}{dt}=-2$ .

The equation for Pythagorean's Theorem is

$x^2+y^2=c^2$ where x and y are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The length of the hypotenuse is 10, so when we find the derivative of this function with respect to time, and using implicit differentiation, we get:

$2x\frac{dx}{dt}+2y\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ and divide everything by 2 to simplify:

$x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ . Looking at that equation, it looks like we need a value for x, y, $\frac{dx}{dt}$ and $\frac{dy}{dt}$ .

Since we are looking for $\frac{dx}{dt}$ , that can be our only unknown and everything else has to have a value. So what do we know?

If we construct a right triangle with 10 as the hypotenuse and use 6 for y, we can solve for x (which is the only unknown we have, actually). Using Pythagorean's Theorem to solve for x:

$x^2+6^2=10^2$ and
