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  !!!!

The simplified expression of  $4 x \cdot \frac{1}{x^{-5}} \cdot x^{-3} is 4x^3.

Solution:

Given expression is 4 x \cdot \frac{1}{x^{-5}} \cdot x^{-3}.

To simplify the given expression.

$\Rightarrow4 x \cdot \frac{1}{x^{-5}} \cdot x^{-3}

Using exponent rule: \frac{1}{a^{-m}}=a^m

$\Rightarrow4x \cdot x^{5}.x^{-3}

Using another exponent rule: a^m \cdot a^n=a^{m+n}

$\Rightarrow4x \cdot x^{5-3}

$\Rightarrow4x \cdot x^{2}

Using exponent rule: a^m \cdot a^n=a^{m+n}

$\Rightarrow4x^{1+2}

$\Rightarrow4x^3

Hence the simplified expression of  $4 x \cdot \frac{1}{x^{-5}} \cdot x^{-3} is 4x^3.
