Foreign Exchange Traders often buy foreign currency in the hope of making money when the currency’s value changes. For example, on April 10, 2018, one U.S dollar could purchase 0.8101 euro, and one euro could purchase 132.317 yen. Let f ( x ) represent the number of euros you can buy x dollars, let g ( x ) represent the number of yen you can buy with x euros. Find a function that relates dollars to tutus Find a function that relates twos to yen. Use the results of parts a) and b) to find a function that relates dollars to yen. That is, find ( g ∘ f ) ( x ) . What is ( g ∘ f ) ( 1000 ) ?

A ladder 27 feet long leans against a wall and the foot of the ladder is sliding away at a constant rate of 3 feet/sec. Meanwhile, a firefighter is climbing up the ladder at a rate of 2 feet/sec. When the firefighter has climbed up 6 feet of the ladder, the ladder makes an angle of л/3 with the ground. Answer the two related
rates questions below. (Hint: Use two carefully labeled similar right triangles.)
(a) If h is the height of the firefighter above the ground, at the instant the angle of the ladder with the ground is л/3, find dh/dt=
feet/sec.
(b) If w is the horizontal distance from the firefighter to the wall, at the instant the angle of the ladder with the ground is л/3, find dw/dt=
feet/sec.
Two cars start moving from the same point. One travels south at 60 mi/h and the other travels west at 25 mi/h. At what rate (in mi/h) is the distance between the cars increasing four hours later?
Step 1
Using the diagram of a right triangle given below, the relation between x, y, and z is
z²
= x²+

Step 2
We must find dz/dt. Differentiating both sides and simplifying gives us the following.

Assume that x is increasing at a rate of 3 meters/sec.
(a) Write as a function of x: 0=
(b) When x=10, the angle is changing at a rate of
rad/sec.
(c) Let L be the the left hand piece of rope and R the right hand piece of rope. When x=10, is the rate of change of L larger than the rate of change of R?
