Answer:

It will take <em>0.75 hours </em>to Russell catch Gertrude

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Cinematics</u>

The equations of cinematics include velocity, displacement and time. In case only the magnitudes are important, we can use the concepts of speed and distance. The speed can be thought in relative terms, i.e. if one body moves at 10 m/s and other moves at 8 m/s, we can say the relative speed is 2 m/s.

The equation who relates those magnitudes is

x=vt

The problem states Gertrude travels at 10 mph and is 3 miles ahead of Russell who travels at 14 mph. We want to know the time when Russell will catch Gertrude. Since Russell goes faster than Gertrude, he eventually catches her. In a time t, he must travel 3 miles more than her. Since the relative speed of them is 14-10= 4 mph, we can know the time it takes to the encounter to produce

\displaystyle t=\frac{x}{v}

\displaystyle t=\frac{3}{4}=0.75\ hours

Answer: It will take 0.75 hours to Russell catch Gertrude

Explanation

Problem #2

We must find the solution to the following system of inequalities:

\begin{gathered} 3x-2y\leq4, \\ x+3y\leq6. \end{gathered}

(1) We solve for y the first inequality:

-2y\leq4-3x.

Now, we multiply both sides of the inequality by (-1), this changes the signs on both sides and inverts the inequality symbol:

\begin{gathered} 2y\ge-4+3x, \\ y\ge\frac{3}{2}x-2. \end{gathered}

The solution to this inequality is the set of all the points (x, y) over the line:

y=\frac{3}{2}x-2.

This line has:

• slope m = 3/2,

,

• y-intercept b = -2.

(2) We solve for y the second inequality:

\begin{gathered} x+3y\leq6, \\ 3y\leq6-x, \\ y\leq-\frac{1}{3}x+2. \end{gathered}

The solution to this inequality is the set of all the points (x, y) below the line:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x+2.

This line has:

• slope m = -1/3,

,

• y-intercept b = 2.

(3) Plotting the lines of points (1) and (2), and painting the region:

• over the line from point (1),

,

• and below the line from point (2),

we get the following graph:

Answer

The points that satisfy both inequalities are given by the intersection of the blue and red regions:
