Mathematics: A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 3 mi and a speed of 500 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 4 mi away from the station. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Y=-5/3x-37/3, So Y equals negative five over three X minus thirty seven over three....

$\frac{dr}{dt} = 400\,\frac{mi}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from the plane to the station is given by the Pyhtagorean Theorem:

$r^{2} = x^{2}+y^{2}$

Where x and y are the horizontal and vertical distances, respectively.

The rate of change of the distance is obtained by implicit differentiation:

$2\cdot r \cdot \frac{dr}{dt} = 2\cdot x \cdot \frac{dx}{dt} + 2\cdot y \cdot \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{x\cdot \frac{dx}{dt} + y\cdot \frac{dy}{dt} }{r}$

$\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{x\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}+y\cdot \frac{dy}{dt} }{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} }$

$\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{(4\,mi)\cdot \left(500\,\frac{mi}{h} \right)+(3\,mi)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{mi}{h} \right)}{\sqrt{(3\,mi)^{2}+(4\,mi)^{2}} }$

$\frac{dr}{dt} = 400\,\frac{mi}{h}$
