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  !!!!

I need help can you help me?
Nookie1986 [14]

D - -x^2 + 3x + 7

To find this, first write out the equation:

(3x + 1) - (x^2 - 6)

Distribute the negative into x^2 and -6 so you're equation now looks like this:

3 x + 1 - x^2 + 6

Combine like terms and arrange the equation into ax^2 + bx + c to get the final answer of:

-x^2 + 3x + 7

Hope this helps!
