If two objects travel through space along two different curves, it's often important to know whether they will collide. (Will a

missile hit its moving target? Will two aircraft collide?) The curves might intersect, but we need to know whether the objects are in the same position at the same time. Suppose the trajectories of two particles are given by the vector functions r1(t) = t2, 6t − 5, t2 r2(t) = 9t − 20, t2, 11t − 30 for t ≥ 0. Find the values of t at which the particles collide. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

Answer:

  t = {5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The trajectories intersect at exactly one time, t=5. The point of collision is ...

  r1(5) = r2(5) = (25, 25, 25)

__

The particles collide when the difference between the coordinates of one of them and the coordinates of the other one is zero. That is, ...

  r1(t) - r2(t) = 0

  (t^2, 6t -5, t^2) - (9t -20, t^2, 11t -30) = 0

This resolves to three (3) quadratic equations:

  1. t^2 -9t +20 = 0 . . . . (t -4)(t -5) = 0
  2. -5 +6t -t^2 = 0 . . . . . -(t -1)(t -5) = 0
  3. t^2 -11t +30 = 0 . . . . (t -5)(t -6) = 0

These have a common factor of t-5, so will all be zero when t=5.

The particles collide only at t = 5.

Samantha brings $34 to the county fair. First, she pays the admission fee of $8.50. Next she buys a corn dog for
gladu [14]

Answer:

12 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get the total and subtract it from the expenses.

34 - 8.50 - 4.50 = 21

Then divide the answer by how much each ride costs to find the answer

21 ➗1.75 = 12

So Sam can ride 12 rides.

How do you solve a distributive equation
nadya68 [22]
Let's say you are given the equation 4(x+5). What you must do is distribute the 4 to everything inside the parenthesis. What this means is that you multiply everything inside the parenthesis by the number outside the parenthesis (in this equation that would be 4). For example, the equation 4(x+5) would distribute as (4*x)+(4*5). This would then become 4x+20.

35° is the degree of that angle.

All triangles are supposed to be 180° with all the angles put together.

35° plus 90° and 55°

= the angles of that triangle.
