A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 2000-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 510-meter head st

art. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 8 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 5 meters per second. Define a function f to represent the tortoise's distance from the finish line (in meters) in terms of the number of seconds t since the start of the race.

The distance covered by the hare and the tortoise in t seconds are 8t and 5t respectively. (Simple Speed-Distance-Time relation)

The tortoise gets a 510m headstart so at t=0 is 1490m.

The functions representing the distance of both of them from the finish line is,

F(x)=2000-8t,. for hare

G(x)=1490-5t,. for tortoise

Answer:

  2. (only)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. To determine if these are right triangles, determine if that condition is met.

  1. 3^2 +5^2 = 9 + 25 = 34 ≠ (√35)^2 . . . . not a right triangle

  2. 5^2 +4^2 = 25 +16 = 41 = (√41)^2 . . . a right triangle

  3. 6^2 +8^2 = 36 +64 = 100 ≠ (√10)^2 . . . . not a right triangle

  4. 3^2 +3^2 = 9 +9 = 18 ≠ (3√3)^2 = 27 . . . . not a right triangle
