To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let us say that:

A = runner

B = cyclist

d = distance

v = velocity

time = t

 

The time in which the cyclist overtakes the runner is the time wherein the distance of the two is the same, that is:

dA = dB

 

We know that the formula for calculating distance is:

d = v t

therefore,

vA tA = vB tB

 

Further, we know that tA = tB + 2, therefore:

vA (tB + 2) = vB tB

4 (tB + 2) = 14 tB

4 tB + 8 = 14 tB

10 tB = 8

tB = 0.8 hours = 48 min

 

Therefore the cyclist overtakes the runner after 0.8 hours or 48 minutes.

Answer:

35 miles

Pavlova-9 [17]
A quadratic function is one of the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are numbers with a not equal to zero. The graph of a quadratic function is a curve called a parabola. ... A parabola intersects its axis of symmetry at a point called the vertex of the parabola. You know that two points determine a line.
