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.

Hey!

------------------------------------------------

First Equation:

2x + 3 = -7

2x + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3 (Subtract 7 to both sides)

2x = -10

2x/2 = -10/2 (Divide 2 to both sides)

x = -5

------------------------------------------------

Second Equation:

4.5x - 7 = 20

4.5x + (-7) + 7 = 20 + 7 (Add 7 to both sides)

4.5x = 27

4.5x/4.5 = 27/4.5 (Divide 4.5 to both sides)

x = 6

------------------------------------------------

Third Equation:

-3x + 7 = 28

-3x + 7 - 7 = 28 - 7 (Subtract 7 to both sides)

-3x/-3 = 21/-3 (Divide -3 to both sides)

x = -7

------------------------------------------------

Answers:

2x + 3 = -7 → x = -5

4.5x - 7 = 20 → x = 6

-3x + 7 = 28 → x = -7

------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

Given the coordinate T(8, -4), find the location of T after a dilation using a scale factor of 0.4.
vagabundo [1.1K]

The new coordinate will be T'(3.2 , -1.6) .

<h3>What is the meaning of Dilation ?</h3>

Dilation is the transformation that changes the size of the object without changing its shape .

If a coordinate point is (x,y) and a dilation of scale factor f is applied then the new coordinates will be (fx ,fy)

The coordinate given in the question is T(8, -4)

The scale factor is 0.4

The new coordinate is

T'( 0.4 * 8 , 0.4 * (-4))

T'(3.2 , -1.6)

Therefore the new coordinate will be T'(3.2 , -1.6)
