Answer: 45 dollars and it was a distance of 5 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation: What i did was start with 30, then keep adding 3 till i got the a multiple of 5.

30 + 3 = 33

33 + 3 = 36

36 + 3 = 39

39 + 3 = 42

42 + 3 = 45

So already i know that it is 5 kilometers, because i added 3 to 30 five times.

No i will do that with the second company

20 + 5 = 25

25 + 5 = 30

30 + 5 = 35

35 + 5 =  40

40 + 5 = 45

That is also 5 kilometers, because i added 5 to 20 five times. I also know they are the same price, because they both added to 45 dollars.

Thats how i solved it.

I really hope that helps!

Tutorial Exercise A boat leaves a dock at 2:00 PM and travels due south at a speed of 20 km/h. Another boat has been heading due
ANTONII [103]

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=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

⇒                     D = \sqrt{20^2t^2+15(t-1)^2}

Now let           F(t) = D^2(t)

                ∵    F'(t) = 800t + 450(t-1) =  1250t -450\\F'(t) =0

⇒                     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.
