SCALCET8 3.9.013. A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 2 mi and a speed of 570 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 5 mi away from the station. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

DL/dt = 529 miles/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The radio station (point A) the point just up the radio station ( point B), and the variable position of the plane ( at specif t  point C) shape a right triangle wich hypothenuse L is:

L²  =  d² + x²

d is the constant distance between the plane and the ground

Then differentiation with respect to time on both sides of the equation

2*L*dL/dt  = 2*d* Dd/dt  + 2*x*dx/dt

But   Dd/dt  =  0

L*dL/dt  =  x*dx/dt

x =  5 miles       dx/dt  =  570 m/h        L  = √ d² + x²    L  √ (5)² + (2)²

L = √29      L  = 5.39 m

5.39 *DL/dt  =  5*570 m/h

DL/dt  =   5*570/5.39   miles/h

DL/dt  =  528.76  miles/h

DL/dt = 529 miles/h
