Answer:
Both the boats will closet together at 2:21:36 pm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that - At 2 pm boat 1 leaves dock and heads south and boat 2 heads east towards the dock. Assume the dock is at origin (0,0).
Speed of boat 1 is 20 km/h so the position of boat 1 at any time (0,-20t),
Formula : d=v*t
at 2 pm boat 2 was 15 km due west of the dock because it took the boat 1 hour to reach there at 15 km/h, so the position of boat 2 at that time was (-15,0)
the position of boat 2 is changing towards east, so the position of boat 2 at any time (-15+15t,0)
Formula : D=
⇒
Now let
∵
⇒ t= 450/1250
⇒ t= .36 hours
⇒ = 21 min 36 sec
Since F"(t)=0,
∴ This time gives us a minimum.
Thus, The two boats will closet together at 2:21:36 pm.
