Suppose that a cyclist began a 476

Well, we know the cyclist left the western part going eastwards, at the same time the car left the eastern part going westwards

the distance between them is 476 miles, and they met 8.5hrs later

let's say after 8.5hrs, the cyclist has travelled "d" miles, whilst the car has travelled the slack, or 476-d, in the same 8.5hrs

we know the rate of the car is faster... so if the cyclist rate is say "r", then the car's rate is r+33.2

thus $\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\textit{eastbound cyclist}&d&r&8.5\\
\textit{westbound car}&476-d&r+33.2&8.5
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=8.5r\\\\
476-d=(r+33.2)8.5\\
----------\\
476-\boxed{8.5r}=(r+33.2)8.5
\end{cases}$

solve for "r", to see how fast the cyclist was going

what about the car? well, the car's rate is r + 33.2

Let Q(x, y) be the predicate "If x < y then x2 < y2," with domain for both x and y being R, the set of all real numbers.

Levart [38]

Answer:

a) Q(-2,1) is false

b) Q(-5,2) is false

c)Q(3,8) is true

d)Q(9,10) is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is $Q(x,y)$ is predicate that $x$ then $x^{2}$ . where $x,y$ are rational numbers.

a)

when $x=-2, y=1$

Here $-2$ that is $x$ satisfied. Then

$(-2)^{2}$

$4$ this is wrong. since $4>1$

That is $x^{2}$ $>y^{2}$ Thus $Q(x,y)$ $=Q(-2,1)$ is false.

b)

Assume $Q(x,y)=Q(-5,2)$ .

That is $x=-5, y=2$

Here $-5$ that is $x$ this condition is satisfied.

Then

$(-5)^{2}$

$25$ this is not true. since $25>4$ .

This is similar to the truth value of part (a).

Since in both $x$ satisfied and $x^{2} >y^{2}$ for both the points.

c)

if $Q(x,y)=Q(3,8)$ that is $x=3$ and $y=8$

Here $3$ this satisfies the condition $x$ .

Then $3^{2}$

$9$ This also satisfies the condition $x^{2}$ .

Hence $Q(3,8)$ exists and it is true.

d)

Assume $Q(x,y)=Q(9,10)$

Here $9$ satisfies the condition $x$

Then $9^{2}$

$81$ satisfies the condition $x^{2}$ .

Thus, $Q(9,10)$ point exists and it is true. This satisfies the same values as in part (c)
