Answer:
a)
b)d(t)=500t
c)
Step-by-step explanation:
d = Horizontal distance
s = the distance between the plane and the radar station
The horizontal distance (d), the one mile altitude, and s form a right triangle.
So, use Pythagoras theorem
a)
(b) Express d as a function of the time t (in hours) that the plane has flown.
d(t)=500t
(c) Use composition to express s as a function of t.
using b
Answer:
Juan wins the race
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The graph is shown in attached image.</u>
<u />
The black line is Juan's graph.
The green line is Antonio's graph.
The graph shows the distance (y-axis) with time (x-axis).
The end of the curve(s) means the end of the race. Both curve's ending point in y-axis is 4 miles so the end of the race is 4 miles.
But in x-axis, we see the time:
Juan finishes at 13 minutes
Antonio finishes at 15 minutes
<u>Definitely Juan wins the race</u>
