The original price of a 2018 Honda Shadow to the dealer is $17,715, but the dealer will pay only $16,985 after rebate. If the dealer pays Honda within 15 days, there is a 2% cash discount.

The final price to be paid after the 2% discount has been made will be $ 16,645.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a 2% discount on the price of the Honda Shadow in the event that the dealer pays Honda within 15 days, and that after a rebate the price of the vehicle is $ 16,985, to obtain the value of the discount and the final amount to be paid must be calculated as follows:

16,985 x 2/100 = X

33,970 / 100 = X

339.70 = X

Thus, the discount to be made will be $ 339.70, with which the final price to be paid after the 2% discount has been made will be $ 16,645.30.

9.56 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that a 5.8-ft-tall person walks away from a 9-ft lamppost at a constant rate of 3.4 ft/sec.

I've attached an image showing  triangle that depicts this;

Thus; dx/dt = 3.4 ft/sec

From the attached image and using principle of similar triangles, we can say that;

9/y = 5.8/(y - x)

9(y - x) = 5.8y

9y - 9x = 5.8y

9y - 5.8y = 9x

3.2y = 9x

y = 9x/3.2

dy/dx = 9/3.2

Now, to find how fast the tip of the shadow is moving away from the lamp post, it is;

dy/dt = dy/dx × dx/dt

dy/dt = (9/3.2) × 3.4

dy/dt = 9.5625 ft/s ≈ 9.56 ft/sec
