An aircraft is fying at a constant altitude with a constant speed of 600 miles per hour. An antiaircraft
missile is fired on a straight line perpendicular to the flight path of the aircraft so that it will
hit the aircraft at a point P (see the accompanying figure). At the instant the aircraft is 2 mi
from the impact point P the missile is 4 miles from P and flying at 1200 miles per hour. At that instant.
how rapidly is the distance between inissile and aircraft decreasing?

Ariana starts with 100 milligrams of a radioactive substance. the amount of the substance decreases by 20% each week for a number of weeks, w. the expression 100(1−0.2)w finds the amount of radioactive substance remaining after w weeks. which statement about this expression is true? a) it is the difference between the initial amount and the percent decrease. b) it is the difference between the initial amount and the decay factor after w weeks. c) it is the initial amount raised to the decay factor after w weeks. d) it is the product of the initial amount and the decay factor after w weeks.
