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 600 miles per hour. The other is 200 miles from the point and has a speed of 800 miles per hour.
(a)At what rate is the distance between the planes changing?

(b) How much time does the controller have to get one of the airplanes on a different flight path?

They are traveling at right angles to each other so we can say one is traveling north to south and the other west to east.  Then we can say that there positions, y and x are:

y=150-600t  x=200-800t

By using the Pythagorean Theorem we can find the distance between these two planes as a function of time:

d^2=y^2+x^2, using y and x from above

d^2=(150-600t)^2+(200-800t)^2

d^2=22500-180000t+360000t^2+40000-320000t+640000t^2

d^2=1000000t^2-500000t+62500

d=√(1000000t^2-500000t+6250)

So the rate of change is the derivative of d

dd/dt=(1/2)(2000000t-500000)/√(1000000t^2-500000t+6250)

dd/dt=(1000000t-250000)/√(1000000t^2-500000t+6250)

So the rate depends upon t and is not a constant, so for the instantaneous rate you would plug in a specific value of t...

...

To find how much time the controller has to change the airplanes flight path, we only need to solve for when d=0, or even d^2=0...

1000000t^2-500000t+62500=0

6250(16t^2-8t+1)=0

6250(16^2-4t-4t+1)=0

6250(4t(4t-1)-1(4t-1))=0

6250(4t-1)(4t-1)=0

6250(4t-1)^2=0

4t-1=0

4t=1

t=1/4 hr

Well technically, the controller has t<1/4 because at t=1/4 impact will occur :)

40 POINTS FOR THIS (HELP)(Bad at algebra) - In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph o
DochEvi [55]
Your second equation has 2 x-intercepts because its curve goes beneath the x-axis, meaning it crosses the x-axis twice. Your first equation has only one x intercept because its vertex touches the x-axis. The transformation that occurred was a vertical shift downwards, (since the image function has that little -7 at the end : )   )

Use complete sentences to describe the transformation that maps ABCD onto its image.
Lapatulllka [165]

General Idea:

When a point or figure on a coordinate plane is moved by sliding it to the right or left or up or down, the movement is called a translation.

Say a point P(x, y) moves up or down ' k ' units, then we can represent that transformation by adding or subtracting respectively 'k' unit to the y-coordinate of the point P.

In the same way if P(x, y) moves right or left ' h ' units, then we can represent that transformation by adding or subtracting respectively 'h' units to the x-coordinate.

P(x, y) becomes P'(x\pm h, y\pm k). We need to use ' + ' sign for 'up' or 'right' translation and use ' - ' sign for ' down' or 'left' translation.

Applying the concept:

The point A of Pre-image is (0, 0). And the point A' of image after translation is (5, 2). We can notice that all the points from the pre-image moves 'UP' 2 units and 'RIGHT' 5 units.

Conclusion:

The transformation that maps ABCD onto its image is translation given by (x + 5, y + 2),

In other words, we can say ABCD is translated 5 units RIGHT and 2 units UP to get to A'B'C'D'.
