Answer:
C. 210 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that two cars leave Phoenix and travel along roads 90 degrees apart. Car 1 leaves 30 minutes earlier than Car 2 and averages 42 mph.
We will use distance formula and Pythagoras theorem to solve our given problem.


.
Since car 1 leaves 30 minutes before car 2, so car 2 will travel for only 3 hours when car 1 will travel for 3.5 hours.


Since both car travel along roads 90 degree apart, therefore, the distance between both cars after Car 1 has traveled 3.5 hours would be hypotenuse with legs 147 and 150.




Therefore, the both cars will be 210 miles apart and option C is the correct choice.
Hi there what you need is lagrange multipliers for constrained minimisation. It works like this,
V(X)=α2σ2X¯1+β2\sigma2X¯2
Now we want to minimise this subject to α+β=1 or α−β−1=0.
We proceed by writing a function of alpha and beta (the paramters you want to change to minimse the variance of X, but we also introduce another parameter that multiplies the sum to zero constraint. Thus we want to minimise
f(α,β,λ)=α2σ2X¯1+β2σ2X¯2+λ(\alpha−β−1).
We partially differentiate this function w.r.t each parameter and set each partial derivative equal to zero. This gives;
∂f∂α=2ασ2X¯1+λ=0
∂f∂β=2βσ2X¯2+λ=0
∂f∂λ=α+β−1=0
Setting the first two partial derivatives equal we get
α=βσ2X¯2σ2X¯1
Substituting 1−α into this expression for beta and re-arranging for alpha gives the result for alpha. Repeating the same steps but isolating beta gives the beta result.
Lagrange multipliers and constrained minimisation crop up often in stats problems. I hope this helps!And gosh that was a lot to type!xd
