Question

An airplane flies at an altitude of 

y = 4

 miles toward a point directly over an observer (see figure). The speed of the plane is 600 miles per hour. Find the rates at which the angle of elevation ? is changing when the angle is 

? = 45°,

 

? = 60°,

 and 

? = 80°.
 
(a)    ? = 45°
  rad/min

(b)    ? = 60°
  rad/min

(c)    ? = 80° (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
  rad/min
