Suppose the car is 100 miles from the rocket’s launchpad, racing toward it at 60 miles per hour, when the rocket takes off at 90 miles per hour. Assume that the velocities of the car and the rocket are constant. How fast is the distance between the car and the rocket (marked ”c” in the diagram) changing after 10 minutes=1/6 of an hour? (Give your answer to 4 decimal places). Provide clear steps and explanations.
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
