Answer:
It is changing at -11 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance d is given by
d = √x²+(90-y)²
We have to differentiate
dy/st = 25ft
dx/dt = -15ft
The question says after 2 seconds
Y = 25x2 = 50ft
X = -15x2 = -30ft
Then we calculate rate of change of distance. From the calculations I did, I arrived at
(1/2√900+1600).[900-2000]
= -1100/2x50
= -1100/100
= -11ft

The distance between these two runners changing 2 s after the ball is hit 11 ft
The rate of change of a function with respect to the variable is called differentiation. It can be increasing or decreasing.
A baseball diamond is a square with sides 90 ft long.
A batter is at bat, with runners at first and second base.
At the moment the ball is hit, the runner at first base runs to second base at 25 ft/s.
Simultaneously, the runner on second base runs to third base at 15 ft/s.
The distance d is given by
[tex]\rm d = \sqrt{x^{2} +(90-y)^2}[/tex]
We have to differentiate
[tex]\rm \dfrac{dy}{st} = 25 \ ft\\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt} = -15 \ ft[/tex]
The question says after 2 seconds
[tex]\rm Y = 25x ^2 = 50 \ ft\\\\X = -15x^2 = -30 \ ft[/tex]
Then we calculate the rate of change of distance will be
[tex]\rm \dfrac{1 }{2\sqrt{900 + 1600}} * (900 - 2000) = \dfrac{-1100}{2*50} = \dfrac{-1100}{100} = -11\ ft[/tex]
