Answer:

d(t)=\sqrt{(300+30t)^2+(60t)^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represents the time in hours,

We know that,

Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}

\implies Distance = Speed\times time

Since, the speed of truck = 30 miles per hour,

So, the distance covered by the truck in t hours = 30t miles,

Similarly,

Speed of car = 60 miles per hour,

So, the distance covered by car in t hours = 60t miles,

∵ Truck is 300 miles east of the car initially,

Thus, the distance of the truck from the starting point = 30t + 300,

While the distance of the car from the starting point = 60 t,

Now, these two vehicles are going in the directions which are at right angled ( car is going north and truck is going west )

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

Distance between them after t hours,

d(t)=\sqrt{(300+30t)^2+(60t)^2}

Which is the required function.

let the numbers be x and y then by given conditions:

x + y = 10 ….. eq 1

and

xy = 9….. eq 2

from eq 2. y = 9/x

put this in eq. 1

x + 9/x = 10

x + 9= 10x

x = 1
