Question

Andy and Donald are both running toward the soccer ball during a game.

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option: second one -> Andy and Donald do not collide.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find if the boys collide, we need to find if there is a common value of t where the their x position are equal and their y position are equal. To do this, we make x(t) of Andy equal to x(t) of Donald, , then if there is a value for t, we do the same for y(t) and check if the values of t are equal:

24 + 23t = 12 + t

22t = -12

t = -0.5455 seconds

As the time is negative, it will not occur, so the boys will never collide.

Correct option: second one
