Two children own two-way radios that have a maximum range of 3 miles. One leaves a certain point at 1:00 P.M., walking due north

at a rate of 6 mi/hr. The other leaves the same point at 1:15 P.M., traveling due south at 9 mi/hr. For how many minutes after 1:00 P.M. will they be able to communicate with one another? (Round your answer to the nearest minute.)

Answer:

The answer is 21 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the equation Xf = Xo + vt

1) At 1:00 PM, child one leaves the starting point heading north at a constant velocity of 6 mi/hr or .1 [mi/min] (divide by 60 to convert from [mi/hr] to [mi/min])

2) He walks for 15 minutes before kid 2 starts walking. In 15 minutes he is able to cover 1.5 [mi]

  • x_{1f1} =x_{o} +v_{1} t_{1} \\x_{1f1} =0+.1(15)\\x_{1f1} =1.5 [mi]

3) Now, child 2 starts walking and we know that when the range reaches 3 miles, they won´t be able to communicate. So the sum of the final position of child 1 and child 2 must be 3[mi]

  • Child 1 final position => x_{1f} = x_{1f1} +v_{1} t\\x_{1f} =1.5+v_{1} t
  • Child 2 final position => x_{2f} =0+v_{2} t

4) Sum the equations and equate to 3

  • x_{1f} +x_{2f} =3

5) Substitute the values we already know

  • 1.5+v_{1} t+v_{2}t=3\\ 1.5+.1t+.15t=3\\1.5+.25t=3\\t=\frac{3-1.5}{.25} \\t=6 [min]

6) in 15 + 6 minutes they will be 3miles apart

7) In 21 minutes they will still be able to communicate with one another.

Solve the inequality for x. Show each step of the solution.10x > 2(8x – 3) – 18
Luden [163]

Answer: x<4

Given the inequality:

10x>2(8x-3)-18

We want to solve the inequality for x.

First, distribute the bracket on the right side of the inequality.

\begin{gathered} 10x>2(8x)-2(3)-18 \\ 10x>16x-6-18 \\ 10x>16x-24 \end{gathered}

Next, subtract 10x from both sides of the inequality.

\begin{gathered} 10x-10x>16x-10x-24 \\ 0>6x-24 \end{gathered}

Add 24 to both sides of the inequality.

\begin{gathered} 0+24>6x-24+24 \\ 24>6x \end{gathered}

Divide both sides of the inequality by 6.

\begin{gathered} \frac{24}{6}>\frac{6x}{6} \\ 4>x \\ \implies x

The solution to the inequality is x<4.
