Performance task: A parade route must start And and at the intersections shown on the map. The city requires that the total dist

ance of the route cannot exceed 3 miles. A propos route is shown.
Part A: Why does the proposed route not meet the requirement?

Part B: Assuming that the roads used for the
route are the same and the end point is the same,
at what intersection could the parade start so the
total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible?

Part C: The city wants to station video cameras halfway down each road in the parade. Using your answer to Part B, what are the coordinates of locations for the cameras?

Answer:

Part A: The proposed route does not meet requirement because it is longer than the maximum required length of 3 miles

Part B: For the total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible, the start point of the parade should be at the point on Broadway with coordinates (9.941, 4.970)

Part C: The coordinates of the cameras stationed half way down each road are;

For central avenue; (4, 2)

For Broadway; (7.97, 2.49)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The length of the given route can be found using the equation for the distance, l, between coordinate points as follows;

l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

Where for the Broadway potion of the parade route, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (12, 3)

(x₂, y₂) = (6, 0)

l_1 = \sqrt{\left (0 -3\right )^{2}+\left (6-12 \right )^{2}} = 3 \cdot \sqrt{5}

For the Central Avenue potion of the parade route, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 0)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, 4)

l_2 = \sqrt{\left (4 -0\right )^{2}+\left (2-6 \right )^{2}} = 4 \cdot \sqrt{2}

Therefore, the total length of the parade route =-3·√5 + 4·√2 = 12.265 unit

The scale of the drawing is 1 unit = 0.25 miles

Therefore;

The actual length of the initial parade =0.25×12.265 unit = 3.09 miles

The proposed route does not meet requirement because it is longer than the maximum required length of 3 miles

Part B:

For an actual length of 3 miles, the length on the scale drawing should be given as follows;

1 unit = 0.25 miles

0.25 miles = 1 unit

1 mile =  1 unit/(0.25) = 4 units

3 miles = 3 × 4 units = 12 units

With the same end point and route, we have;

l_1 = \sqrt{\left (0 -y\right )^{2}+\left (6-x \right )^{2}} = 12 - 4 \cdot \sqrt{2}

y² + (6 - x)² = 176 - 96·√2

y² = 176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)²............(1)

Also, the gradient of l₁ = (3 - 0)/(12 - 6) = 1/2

Which gives;

y/x = 1/2

y = x/2 ..............................(2)

Equating equation (1) to (2) gives;

176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)² = (x/2)²

176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)² - (x/2)²= 0

176 - 96·√2 - (1.25·x²- 12·x+36) = 0

Solving using a graphing calculator, gives;

(x - 9.941)(x + 0.341) = 0

Therefore;

x ≈ 9.941 or x = -0.341

Since l₁ is required to be 12 - 4·√2, we have and positive, we have;

x ≈ 9.941 and y = x/2 ≈ 9.941/2 = 4.97

Therefore, the start point of the parade should be the point (9.941, 4.970) on Broadway so that the total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible

Part C: The coordinates of the cameras stationed half way down each road are;

For central avenue;

Camera location = ((6 + 2)/2, (4 + 0)/2) = (4, 2)

For Broadway;

Camera location = ((6 + 9.941)/2, (0 + 4.970)/2) = (7.97, 2.49).

How do you solve 7.2>0.9(n+8.6)
labwork [276]
7.2>0.9(n+8.6)
multiply 0.9 by all in parentheses

7.2> (0.9*n) + (0.9*8.6)
7.2> 0.9n + 7.74

subtract 7.74 from both sides
-0.54> 0.9n

divide both sides by 0.9
-0.6> n

ANSWER: -0.6> n

Hope this helps! :)

Answer: 5, 3, \dfrac{1}{6}, D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

-5 < 0 so f(-5) = | -5 | = 5

-3 < 0 so f(-3) = | -3 | = 3

6 > 0 so f(6) = \dfrac{1}{6}
