Joe is driving west at 60 km/h and dave is diving south of 70 km/h both cars are approaching the intersection of the two roads at what rate is the distance between the cars decreasing when joe’s car is 0.4 km and dave’s is 0.3 km from the intersection

The distance between the cars is decreasing at 90 Km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Instant Rate Of Change

The instant rate of change of a certain magnitude is found by computing its derivative.

The problem requires us to find the rate of change of the distance between Joe and Dave as they approach an intersection. Let y be the distance from Dave to the intersection and x the distance from Joe to the intersection. Since both are moving opposite to the positive reference, their speeds are negative.

Please refer to the figure attached.

The speed of Dave is

The speed of Joe is

The actual distances to the intersection (origin of coordinates) are

We compute the distance between them by using the Pythagoras's theorem

To find the rate of change of the distance, we compute the derivative

Let's put in numbers:

The distance between the cars is decreasing at 90 Km/h

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
