An air traffic controller spots two airplanes at the same altitude converging to a point as they fly at right angles to each oth

er. One airplane is 150 miles from the point and has a speed of 300 miles per hour. The other is 200 miles from the point and has a speed of 400 miles per hour.
(a) At what rate is the distances between the planes decreasing?
(b) How much time does the air traffic controller have to get one of the planes on a different flight path?

Answer:

(a) D(t) = 250t -500 miles

(b) Controller has 2 hours, but including time for pilots to divert course or altitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

two planes at same altitude heading in a collision course.

Plane A at 400 miles from collision point at 200 mph

Plane B at 300 miles from collision point at 150 mph.

Theoretical collision happens in

t = 400/200 = 300/150 = 2 hours

Distance ya of plane A from collision point as a function of time in hours

ya(t) = 400 -200t

Distance yb of plane B from collision point as a function of time in hours

yb(t) = 300-150t

(a) Distance between two planes,

Since the two planes are on courses perpendicular to each other, will need using pythagorean theorem

D(t) = sqrt(ya(t)^2+yb(t)^2)

= sqrt((400-200t)^2+(300-150t)^2)

= 250(t-2)

D(t) = 250t -500 miles

b. time available

Time until D(t) = 0

solve D(t) = 0

D(t) = 0

250(t-2) = 0

t = 2  (two hours)

Write an equation of the line that goes through the point (6, 12) and has a slope of 2 3 .
Degger [83]

Answer:

3y = 2x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is as follows;

Write an equation of the line that goes through the point (6, 12) and has a slope of 2/3

Solution

Here, we have a point and a slope, and we want to write the equation of the line

The method we shall use here is the point slope method

Mathematically, that will be;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

(x1,y1) = (6,12)

m = 2/3

y-12 = 2/3(x-6)

3(y-12) = 2(x-6)

3y-36 = 2x - 12

3y = 2x -12 + 36

3y = 2x + 24

The score on a trivia game is obtained by subtracting the number of incorrect answers from twice the number of correct answers.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: the player answered 30 questions correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of questions that the player answered correctly.

Let y represent the number of questions that the player answered incorrectly.

The number of questions that the player answered is 40. It means that

x + y = 40- - - - - - - - - - -1

The score on the trivia game is obtained by subtracting the number of incorrect answers from twice the number of correct answers. If the player obtained a score of 50, It means that

2x - y = 50

y = 2x - 50

Substituting y = 2x - 50 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 2x - 50 = 40

3x - 50 = 40

3x = 40 + 50 = 90

x = 90/3

x = 30
