Answer:

Ben and Susan will be 340 miles apart

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: We plot the problem on a graph to visualize the problem

Step 2: We notice that the problem creates a right triangle with the distance Ben and Susan travel as the legs of the right triangle

Step 3: We can use the Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c² to solve the distance between Ben and Susan

Step 4: We enter the numbers into the formula

a² + b² = c²

300² + 160² = c²

90000 + 25600 = c²

115600 = c² *square root both sides

c = 340

Therefore Ben and Susan are 340 miles apart

The Collatz conjecture is one of the most famous unsolved mathematical problems, because it's so simple, you can explain it to a
Vinil7 [7]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I inferred you need a brief explanation about The Collatz conjecture.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Put simply, what the Collatz conjecture unsolved problem entails is that if any positive number is picked and it is:

  1. An even number (eg 2, 4, 6,...), then if they are divided by 2,  the new number gotten should undergo the same process (that is to be divided by 2), it is believed your calculation would finally end up at 1. For example, let's pick the number 6, (6÷2=4; repeating the process 4÷2=<u>1</u>)
  2. An odd number, then if they are multiplied by 3 and 1 is added to the result, it is believed that your calculation would finally end up at 1.
