PLEASEE HELPP ASAP! Consider a right triangle which is
changing shape in the following
way. The horizontal leg is
increasing at the rate of 11 in/min
and the vertical leg is decreasing
at the rate of 5 in/min. At what rate <
is the hypotenuse changing in
in/min when the horizontal leg is 12
inches and the vertical leg is 9
inches?

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:    dx / dt=5 in./min.  and  dy/ dt=−6 in./min.

FIND:    dz/ dt when x=12 in. and y=9 in.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to get the equation

x2+y2=z2

Now differentiate this equation with repect to time t getting

D{x2+y2}=D{z2}   ⟶

2xdxdt+2ydydt=2zdzdt   ⟶  

(Multiply both sides of the equation by 1/2.)

x dx/ dt+y dy/ dt= z dz/ dt              (DE)

Now let x=12 and y=9 and solve for z using the Pythagorean Theorem.

tex2html_wrap_inline125

122+92=z2   ⟶   z2=225   ⟶   z=15

Plug in all given rates and values to the equation (DE) getting

(12)(5)+(9)(−6)=(15)dz/ dt   ⟶

6=15dzdt   ⟶

dz/ dt=615=25 in/min.

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
