Question

An airplane flying horizontally at a constant altitude of 5 km passes directly over a radar station. Determine the speed of the plane if it is known that the distance between the radar and the plane is increasing at a rate of 900 km/hr and the horizontal distance between the radar and the plane is 12 km. uses the properties of derivatives to solve the rate of change problem

s^2 = x^2 + 5^2

\frac{d}{dt}(s^2) = \frac{d}{dt}(x^2 + 5^2)

2s \frac{ds}{dt} = 2x \frac{dx}{dt}

s \cdot 900 = x \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}

s = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{144 + 25} = \sqrt{169} = 13 \ \text{km}

13 \cdot 900 = 12 \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{13 \cdot 900}{12}

\frac{dx}{dt} = 975 \ \text{km/hr}

\frac{dx}{dt} = 975 \ \text{km/hr}

Which statement best describes the key changes in perspectives on inclusion? An inclusive program must consider the unique experiences of every child and family as well as the child's strengths and needs. There is a shift in thinking about individual programs as "inclusive programs" to thinking about inclusion as something that reflects the cultural influence of the family. There is a greater emphasis on barriers to full participation and the acknowledgement that all children are unique and must be fully and meaningfully engaged in a program. In an inclusive program all participants are accepted by their peers and other members of the community.
