A plane flying horizontally at 500 mi/h with an altitude of 1 mi above the ground passes over a point on the ground. Find the rate at which the distance of the plane is increasing when it is 2 miles away from the point.
This was one of the questions asked in our Math final test that was held earlier today. For some reasons I didn't know how to handle this problem, hence, I ended up writing the wrong answer. GRRR!!
I pose this problem to y'all Math whiz and Math enthusiasts out there. Answer the question in bold and if you can, please post your answer in my comment box. I really want to know what the REAL answer for this story problem is.
