Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Step 1: Identify two points on the line</h3>

1,2 & 2,5

<h3>Step 2: Select x1, y1 & x2, y2</h3>

x1 = 2, y1 = 5 x2 = 1, y2 = 2

<h3>Step 3: Use the Slope Formula</h3>

change y/ change x

IMPORTANT: it is change in y over change in x, not the other way around. It will be wrong if done the other way, though that would seem to be more logical, since x is the first variable in the pair.

Y 5 -2 = 3

X 2 - 1 = 1

3/1 = 3

Answer:

A (0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a function intersects the y-axis then the point of intersection is called y-intercept of the function,

Also, for y-intercept x = 0.

That is, if f(x) is the function then its y-intercept is (0, f(0) )

By the given table for x = 0, f(x) = 0

Hence, the y-intercept of the given function is (0,0),

Option A is correct.

Particle P moves along the y-axis so that its position at time t is given by y(t)=4t−23 for all times t. A second particle, part

a) The limit of the position of particle $Q$ when time approaches 2 is $-\pi$ .

b) The velocity of particle $Q$ is $v_{Q}(t) = \frac{2\pi\cdot \cos \pi t-\pi\cdot t \cdot \cos \pi t -\sin \pi t}{(2-t)^{2}}$ for all $t \ne 2$ .

c) The rate of change of the distance between particle $P$ and particle $Q$ at time $t = \frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{4\sqrt{82}}{9}$ .

<h3>How to apply limits and derivatives to the study of particle motion</h3>

a) To determine the limit for $t = 2$ , we need to apply the following two algebraic substitutions:

$u = \pi t$ (1)

$k = 2\pi - u$ (2)

Then, the limit is written as follows:

$x(t) = \lim_{t \to 2} \frac{\sin \pi t}{2-t}$

$x(t) = \lim_{t \to 2} \frac{\pi\cdot \sin \pi t}{2\pi - \pi t}$

$x(u) = \lim_{u \to 2\pi} \frac{\pi\cdot \sin u}{2\pi - u}$

$x(k) = \lim_{k \to 0} \frac{\pi\cdot \sin (2\pi-k)}{k}$

$x(k) = -\pi\cdot \lim_{k \to 0} \frac{\sin k}{k}$

$x(k) = -\pi$

The limit of the position of particle $Q$ when time approaches 2 is $-\pi$ . $\blacksquare$

b) The function velocity of particle $Q$ is determined by the derivative formula for the division between two functions, that is:

$v_{Q}(t) = \frac{f'(t)\cdot g(t)-f(t)\cdot g'(t)}{g(t)^{2}}$ (3)

Where:

$f(t)$ - Function numerator.
$g(t)$ - Function denominator.
$f'(t)$ - First derivative of the function numerator.
$g'(x)$ - First derivative of the function denominator.

If we know that $f(t) = \sin \pi t$ , $g(t) = 2 - t$ , $f'(t) = \pi \cdot \cos \pi t$ and $g'(x) = -1$ , then the function velocity of the particle is:

$v_{Q}(t) = \frac{\pi \cdot \cos \pi t \cdot (2-t)-\sin \pi t}{(2-t)^{2}}$

$v_{Q}(t) = \frac{2\pi\cdot \cos \pi t-\pi\cdot t \cdot \cos \pi t -\sin \pi t}{(2-t)^{2}}$

The velocity of particle $Q$ is $v_{Q}(t) = \frac{2\pi\cdot \cos \pi t-\pi\cdot t \cdot \cos \pi t -\sin \pi t}{(2-t)^{2}}$ for all $t \ne 2$ . $\blacksquare$

c) The vector rate of change of the distance between particle P and particle Q ( $\dot r_{Q/P} (t)$ ) is equal to the vectorial difference between respective vectors velocity:

$\dot r_{Q/P}(t) = \vec v_{Q}(t) - \vec v_{P}(t)$ (4)

Where $\vec v_{P}(t)$ is the vector velocity of particle P.

If we know that $\vec v_{P}(t) = (0, 4)$ , $\vec v_{Q}(t) = \left(\frac{2\pi\cdot \cos \pi t - \pi\cdot t \cdot \cos \pi t + \sin \pi t}{(2-t)^{2}}, 0 \right)$ and $t = \frac{1}{2}$ , then the vector rate of change of the distance between the two particles:

$\dot r_{P/Q}(t) = \left(\frac{2\pi \cdot \cos \pi t - \pi\cdot t \cdot \cos \pi t + \sin \pi t}{(2-t)^{2}}, -4 \right)$

$\dot r_{Q/P}\left(\frac{1}{2} \right) = \left(\frac{2\pi\cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{2} +\sin \frac{\pi}{2}}{\frac{3}{2} ^{2}}, -4 \right)$

$\dot r_{Q/P} \left(\frac{1}{2} \right) = \left(\frac{4}{9}, -4 \right)$

The magnitude of the vector rate of change is determined by Pythagorean theorem:

$|\dot r_{Q/P}| = \sqrt{\left(\frac{4}{9} \right)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$|\dot r_{Q/P}| = \frac{4\sqrt{82}}{9}$

The rate of change of the distance between particle $P$ and particle $Q$ at time $t = \frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{4\sqrt{82}}{9}$ . $\blacksquare$

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement is incomplete and poorly formatted. Correct form is shown below:

Particle $P$ moves along the y-axis so that its position at time $t$ is given by $y(t) = 4\cdot t - 23$ for all times $t$ . A second particle, $Q$ , moves along the x-axis so that its position at time $t$ is given by $x(t) = \frac{\sin \pi t}{2-t}$ for all times $t \ne 2$ .
