Answer:

a) Time until both vehicles meet is 1.5 hours after starting at noon. That makes it 1:30PM.

b) Average speed of car is 84 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

A -----------------------z------------B

Left Speed(km/h) Time

Car: 12PM X

Van: 12PM 60

Car/Van

DistanceCar AB + z

DistanceVan Az

Ratio: (AB+z)/Az = 7/5

Time until both meet = T (in hours)

Distance Car: xT

Distance Van: 60T

====

xT = AB + z

60T = Az

---

(xT/60T)= (7/5)

x = 60(7/5)

x = 84 km/h

=====

Time for car to reach B is: time (hr) = 108 km/(84 km/h)

time = 1.286 hours

Distance for at 1.289 hours is: distance (km) = (60 km/h)*(1.286 h)

distance = 77.14 km

At 1.286 hours, the car reverses direction. The van is (108 km - 77.14 km) or 30.86 km away.

Add the distances travelled by both vehicles after the car reverses direction at 1.286 hours. The sum will be 30.86 km when they meet, at time of T.

Car Distance + Van Distance = 30.86 km

T(84 km/h) + t(60 km)

They meet when they are 0 km apart, which can be modeled with the following equation:

Van travel Distance - Car Travel Distance = 0 starting at 1.286 hr.

Let t be the time after 1.286 hours that both vehicles meet/collide.

t*(60 km/h) + t(84 km/h) = 30.86 km

t(60+84) = 30.86 km

t(144 km/h) = 30.86 km

t = 0.2143 hr

Total time until the car and van meet is 1.286 hr + 0.2143 hr for a total of 1.50 hours.

=================

a) Time until both vehicles meet is 1.5 hours after starting at noon. That makes it 1:30PM.

b) Average speed of car is 84 km/h

==============

CHECK

Is the ratio of the distance travelled by the car and the van until they meet in the ratio of 7/5?

Car distance is (1.5 hr)(84 km/h) = 126 km

Van distance is (1.5 hr)(60 km/h) = 90.0 km

Ratio is 126/90 or 1.4

Ratio of 7/5 is 1.4

Explain why any of the four operations (+x +) placed between the two terms 5 and-3/(radical sign) 8 will result in an irrational

kompoz [17]

To answer this question we will have to understand the nature of $\sqrt{8}$ .

$\sqrt{8}$ can be rewritten as: $\sqrt{2\times 2\times 2} =2\sqrt{2}$ . Now, $\sqrt{2}$ is an irrational number and thus any of the four operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction or division placed anywhere between any of these terms will always result in an irrational number.
