Two cars are heading toward the same intersection. Car A travels due east at 20 miles per hour, and Car B travels due north at 50 miles per hour. At what rate, in miles per hour, is the distance between the two cars decreasing when Car A is 0.375 miles from the intersection and Car B is 0.5 miles from the intersection?

the distance between them is decreasing at a rate of 2 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

List all given rates and the unknown rate.

Write the formula that relates the variables in the problem: x, y, and s.

There’s a right triangle in the diagram, so you use the Pythagorean Theorem:

For this problem, x and y are the legs of the right triangle, and s is the hypotenuse, so

Differentiate with respect to t.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem again to solve for s.

x = 0.4

y = 0.3

You can reject the negative answer because s obviously has a positive length. So s = 0.5.

Now you’ve got everything you need to substitute into the differentiation result and solve for ds/dt.

This negative answer means that the distance, s, is decreasing. Thus, when car A is 3 blocks north of the intersection and car B is 4 blocks east of the intersection, the distance between them is decreasing at a rate of 2 mph.

explanation:

the loan estimate encourages consumers to shop. since it is the lenders who are required to issue a standardized loan estimate in a specific time frame, this way consumers are provided an opportunity to compare lenders and their products. otherwise consumer wouldn't know the benefits offered by other lenders.  

if a loan originator does not provide a loan estimate within 3 business days of receiving a completed loan application, that lender is in violation. lenders are required to issue a loan estimate within 3 days of applying for a loan or within 7 days prior to closing. having a loan estimate has following information.

not having loan estimate won't give you an idea of money to be borrowed.

you get to know your interest rates.

you also get to know if your interest rate can or may vary.

not having a good faith estimate can keep you unaware of aforementioned points.

192/15 = 12.8.

12.8

step-by-step explanation:

192/15 is 12.8.

however, it says to round to the nearest foot, which would equal 13.
