Answer:

  100.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

One circuit of the track is a distance of ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(60 yd) = 120π yd.

At Alex's running rate, the distance covered in 20 minutes is ...

  (4 yd/s)(20 min)(60 s/min) = 4800 yd

The number of circuits will be ...

  (4800 yd)/(120π yd/circuit) = 40/π circuits ≈ 12.7324 circuits

The last of Alex's laps is more than half-completed, so the shortest distance to his starting point is 13 -12.7324 = 0.2676 circuits,

That distance is (0.2676 circuits)×(120π yd/circuit) ≈ 100.88 yd

The shortest distance along the track to Alex's starting point is about 100.9 yards.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The exact distance is 120(13π-40) yards. The distance will vary according to your approximation for pi. If you use 3.14, this is about 98.4 yards.

A circle is translated 4 units to the right and then reflected over the x-axis. Complete the statement so that it will always be
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The statement is now presented as:

\exists\, (h,k)\in \mathbb{R}^{2} /f: (x-h^{2})+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}\implies f': [x-(h+4)]^{2}+[y-(-k)]^{2} = r^{2}

In other words, this mathematical statement can be translated as:

<em>There is a point (h, k) in the set of real ordered pairs so that a circumference centered at (h,k) and with a radius r implies a equivalent circumference centered at (h+4,-k) and with a radius r. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C = (h,k) the coordinates of the center of the circle, which must be transformed into C'=(h', k') by operations of translation and reflection. From Analytical Geometry we understand that circles are represented by the following equation:

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2} = r^{2}

Where r is the radius of the circle, which remains unchanged in every operation.

Now we proceed to describe the series of operations:

1) <em>Center of the circle is translated 4 units to the right</em> (+x direction):

C''(x,y) = C(x, y) + U(x,y) (Eq. 1)

Where U(x,y) is the translation vector, dimensionless.

If we know that C(x, y) = (h,k) and U(x,y) = (4, 0), then:

C''(x,y) = (h,k)+(4,0)

C''(x,y) =(h+4,k)

2) <em>Reflection over the x-axis</em>:

C'(x,y) = O(x,y) - [C''(x,y)-O(x,y)] (Eq. 2)

Where O(x,y) is the reflection point, dimensionless.

If we know that O(x,y) = (h+4,0) and C''(x,y) =(h+4,k), the new point is:

C'(x,y) = (h+4,0)-[(h+4,k)-(h+4,0)]

C'(x,y) = (h+4, 0)-(0,k)

C'(x,y) = (h+4, -k)

And thus, h' = h+4 and k' = -k. The statement is now presented as:

\exists\, (h,k)\in \mathbb{R}^{2} /f: (x-h^{2})+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}\implies f': [x-(h+4)]^{2}+[y-(-k)]^{2} = r^{2}

In other words, this mathematical statement can be translated as:

<em>There is a point (h, k) in the set of real ordered pairs so that a circumference centered at (h,k) and with a radius r implies a equivalent circumference centered at (h+4,-k) and with a radius r. </em>
