Car A is travelling north at 80 km/h; Car B is travelling east at 100 km/h. Assuming that the cars will continue in a straight line with constant velocities, after 2 hours how fast is the distance between the two cars changing? 1 solutions Answer 227402 by Fombitz(13828)   on 2010-06-25 15:00:05 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's call A, the distance from the intersection to car A. Let's call B, the distance from the intersection to car B. The distance between the cars is D. A and B form a right triangle with D as the hypotenuse. If you differentiate with respect to time, After 2 hours, . . . . . . The only issue remaining is the sign of the rate of change. Distance A is growing while Distance B is diminishing (A is growing slower than B). Distance D is therefore diminishing. km/h

Average/317530: A drug is injected into a patient and the concentration of the drug is monitored. The drug's concentration, C(t), in milligrams per liter after t hours is modeled by C(t)=(7t)/(2t^2+3). Estimate the drug's concentration after 4 hours. Round to the nearest hundreth. The choices are 2.69 m/l, 2.55 m/l, 0.94 m/l and 0.80 m/l. I cannot get any of these answers when I try to solve the problem.
