Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

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+ +12 x Step 2 We must find dz/dt. Differentiating both sides and simplifying gives us the following. 2z dz dt dx 2x. +2y dt dx dy dz x +y dt dt dt 2z dy dt × dx (x+y dt dy dt
An elastic rope is attached to the ground at the positions shown in the picture. The rope is being pulled up along the dotted line. Assume the units are meters. 9 ground level 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? ○ Yes ○ No
