Juliet and Mercutio are moving at constant speeds in the xy-plane. They start moving at the same time. Juliet starts at the poin

t (0, −6) and heads in a straight line toward the point (10, 5), reaching it in 10 seconds. Mercutio starts at (7, −16) and moves in a straight line. Mercutio passes through the same point on the x-axis as Juliet, but 2 seconds after she does.How long does it take Mercutio to reach the y-axis?

Answer:

  574/17 ≈ 33.765 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem begs to be solved using parametric equations for the lines of travel. Such an equation for position (P) can be written in terms of a starting point (A) and direction of travel (V) as ...

  P = A + tV

Here, the direction of travel between points A and B is V = B-A, and the time value (t) is scaled by the amount of time it takes to get there.

__

The position of Juliet as a function of time from point A to point B in 10 seconds can be written as ...

  J = A + (t/10)(B-A) = (0, -6) + (t/10)(10-0, 5-(-6))

  J = (t, 1.1t -6)

Juliet will reach the x-axis when her y-position is zero:

  1.1t -6 = 0

  t = 6/1.1 = 60/11

Her position at that point is J = (60/11, 0).

__

Mercutio's position can be described similarly. Starting at point C(7, -16), he reaches D(60/11, 0) after 60/11+2 = 82/11 seconds.

  M = C +(11t/82)(D -C) = (7, -16) +(11t/82)(60/11 -7, 0 -(-16))

  M = (7 -17/82t, 88/41t -16)

Mercutio will reach the y-axis when his x-position is zero:

  7 -17/82t = 0

  7 = 17/82t

  82/17×7 = t = 574/17 ≈ 33.765 . . . . seconds

It takes Mercutio about 33.765 seconds to reach the y-axis.

A circle with radius 3 has a sector with a central angle of 1/9 pi radians
Art [367]

The area of sector is 1.57 m²

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Radius, r = 3 m

Central angle of a sector = 1/9π radians

Area of sector, A = ?

We know:

Area of sector, A = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \alpha

where,

α is the central angle in radians

On substituting the value we get:

A = \frac{1}{2} X(3)^2 X \frac{1}{9}X 3.14\\ \\A = 1.57 m^2

Therefore, the area of sector is 1.57 m²

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line x-2y=10?
laiz [17]
Not sure how to do it in this form but in slope intercept form for example if the slope was -4/3 the perpendicular would be 3/4 it’s the negative reciprocal of the answer
