An equation for the distance between the friends after time (t) in hours is c = 4t√125.

<h3>How to determine an equation for the distance between the friends?</h3>

In order to determine an equation for the distance between the friends after an amount of time (t) in hours, we would create a mental image of a right-angled triangle because they both head in the opposite (North) and adjacent (East) direction.

Therefore, the distance between them after t hours represent the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, which can be calculated by using Pythagorean theorem.

Next, we would determine the distance covered by each friend:

For the first friend (North), we have:

Distance, a = speed × time

Distance, a = 40t

For the second friend (East), we have:

Distance, b = speed × time

Distance, b = 20t

By applying Pythagorean theorem, the distance between the friends after an amount of time (t) is given by:

Distance, c² = a² + b²

Distance, c² = (40t)² + (20t)²

Distance, c² = 1600t² + 400t²

Distance, c² = 2000t²

Distance, c = √(16 × 125t²)

Distance, c = √16t² × √125

Distance, c = 4t√125

<u>Note:</u> The prime factorization of 2000 is 2⁴ × 5³ = 16 × 125.

dimaraw [331]
This  is (x - 6)*x^1/2(x + 3)

= x^1/2 (x^2 - 3x - 18)

= x^(5/2) - 3x^(3/2) - 18x^(1/2)

10     -17.5          306.25

18      -9.5            90.25

25     -2.5              6.25

27     -0.5              0.25

35      7.5            56.25

50   22.5          506.25

      _____      ________

sum     0             965.5

       _____     _________

standard deviation

=\sqrt{\frac{sum}{n-1} } \\=\sqrt{\frac{965.5}{5} } \\=\sqrt{193.1} \\\approx 13.896
