A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mi and a speed of 480 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 3 mi away from the station.

First remember that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by the equation:

Now let's define the position of the radar as:

(0mi, 0mi)

Then we can write the position of the plane as:

(480mi/h*t, 1mi)

where t is time in hours.

Then we can write the distance equation as:

Now we want to get:

the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 3 mi away from the station.

So first we want to find the value of t such that:

d(3) = 3mi

We will look at the positive value of t, because at this point the plane is increasing its distance to the station.

The rate of change when the plane is 3 mi away from the station is:

d'(0.0059h)

remember that:

d'(t) = dd(t)/dt

We can write:

d(t) = h( g(t) )

such that:

h(x) = √x

g(t) = (480mi/h*t)^2 + (1mi)^2

then:

d'(t) = h'(g(t))*g'(t)

This is:

The rate of change at t = 0.0059h is then:

it may be wrong but i think its a
