Cant figure out this related rates question. A plane flying

use real units faggot

Those are freedom units.

Draw a diagram. It will be a triangle, with the radar station at one corner, the plane along the hypotenuse h, the y distance 1 mi, and the x distance being the distance along the ground. dx/dt = 480 mi/h. dh/dt is the quantity you seek. Use trig.

>>7673591
.13 miles per second

>>7673602
Or .11 depending on whether 5 is the hypotenuse or not

>>7673598
remember the chain rule. since you are looking for dh/dt, you can first find dh/dx and dx/dt. then multiply these and the dx "cancels" to get dh/dt (I'm pretty sure it does some other weird stuff due to being a differential but i am not educated enough to know)

>i can't solve this problem
Do your own homework OP

I did h for horizontal distance unlike the other guy.

how can you not feel ashamed about the fact that you're keeping people busy with your silly homework?
