The rules for a race require that all runners start at $A$, touch any part of the 1200-meter wall, and stop at $B$. What is the

number of meters in the minimum distance a participant must run

Let the place that they touch be x meters from the 300 m wall

Then the distance from the 500 m wall will be 1200 - x

Then....the total distance, D, can be expressed asD = sqrt [ x^2 + 300^2 ] + sqrt [ (1200 - x)^2 + 500^2 ]

This can be solved with Calculus, but it's a little messy

The graph shows that the minimum distance is achieved when x = 450m

And the minimum distance  ≈  1442 m

By the way......we can show that this is true if

arctan [ 300 / 450]   =  arctan [ 500 / 750 ]  ......and this is true  !!!!

Let T : V → W be a linear transformation from vector space V into vector space W.
wel

Explanation:

Since {v1,...,vp} is linearly dependent, there exist scalars a1,...,ap, with not all of them being 0 such that a1v1+a2v2+...+apvp = 0. Using the linearity of T we have that

a1*T(v1)+a2*T(v1) + ... + ap*T(vp) = T(a1v19+T(a2v2)+...+T(avp) = T(a1v1+a2v2+...+apvp) = T(0) = 0.

Since at least one ai is different from 0, we obtain a non trivial linear combination that eliminates T(v1) , ..., T(vp). That proves that {T(v1) , ..., T(vp)} is a linearly dependent set of W.
