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.

Reuben​ says, "two days ago i was 20 years old. later next​ year, i will be 23 years​ old." how is this​ possible?
Aneli [31]
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.

x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.

Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.

x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22


Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.
