The slope is 2.
hope I helped.
8.525 is rounded to 8.53 because the 5 rounds up so the 2 turns into a 3
From the moment the friend passes the bicyclist, his friend covers a distance over time t of (3.63 m/s)*t.
The bicyclist covers a distance of 1/2*(2.11 m/s^2)*t^2. They meet when these distances are equal:
3.63 t = 1.055 t^2 ==> 1.055 t^2 - 3.63 t = 0
==> t = 0 s or t = 3.44 s
|a+bi| = √(a² + b²)
-4-√2 i -> take a = -4 and b = -√2
|-4-√2 i| = √[ (-4)² + (<span>-√2)² ]
= </span><span>√[ 16 + 2<span> ]
</span></span><span>= √[ 18 ]</span> = <span>√[ 9 * 2 ]
= 3√2
the absolute value is 3√2</span>
