Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 3.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia

lly 7.4 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 3.8 km/h due west. What will be the distance of the two runners from the flagpole when their paths cross?

Answer:

The distance of the two runners from the flagpole is 0.0882 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use the minus sign when the runner is on the west and the plus sign when the runner is on the east.

Then, Taking into account  the runner A is 6 km west and is running with a constant velocity of 3 Km/h east, the distance of the runner A from the flagpole is given by the following equation:

Xa = -6 Km + (3 Km/h)* t

Where Xa is the position of the runner A from the flagpole and t is the time in hours.

At the same way the distance of the runner B, Xb, from the flagpole is given by the following equation:

Xb = 7.4 Km - (3.8 Km/h)*t

Then, the two runners cross their path when Xa is equal to Xb, so if we solve this equation for t, we get:

              Xa = Xb

     -6 + (3*t) =  7.4 - (3.8*t)

(3.8*t) + (3*t) = 7.4 + 6

         (6.8*t) = 13.4

                  t = 13.4/6.8

                  t = 1.9706

Therefore, at time t equal to 1.9706 hours, both runners cross their path. The distance of the two runners from the flagpole can be calculated replacing the value of t in equation for Xa or in equation for Xb as:

Xa = -6 Km + (3 Km/h)* t

Xa = -6 Km + (3 Km/h)*(1.9706 h)

Xa = -0.0882 Km

That means that both runners are 0.0882 Km west of a flagpole.

Which relation is represented by the arrow diagram?
lorasvet [3.4K]

The relation represented by the arrow diagram is {(-3, 4), (-1, 5), (0, 7), (2, 2), (5, 7)}.

Option: C.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A function is a relation in which each input value(domain) results in one output value(range). It is represented diagrammatically using the mapping method.

It shows how each element of domain and range are paired. That is like a flowchart it shows the input values marking its corresponding output value.

In the given diagram,

The values given in the left are domain and values given in the right are range.

Thus, -3 marks to 4, then can be written as (-3,4).

Similarly,

-1 marks 5 = (-1,5).

0 marks 7= (0,7).

2 marks 2= (2,2).

5 marks 7 =(5,7).

⇒ The complete points sequence is {(-3, 4), (-1, 5), (0, 7), (2, 2), (5, 7)}.
