Using a linear function, it is found that the cats will be 490 meters apart in 3 minutes.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

  • Initially, they are 10 meters apart, hence b = 10.
  • They go in opposite directions, each at a speed of 80 meters per minute, hence, each minute, they get 160 meters apart, which means that m = 160.

Hence, the equation for their distance after x minutes is:

d(x) = 160x + 10

For 3 minutes, we have x = 3, hence:

d(3) = 160(3) + 10 = 490.

The cats will be 490 meters apart in 3 minutes.

Answer:

490 m

Step-by-step explanation:

run speed = 80 m/min

Therefore, distance ran in 3 minutes = 80 x 3 = 240 m

As the cats are running in opposite directions, if they started from the same point, they would be 240 + 240 = 480 m apart.

However, as they started at a point 10 m apart, we need to add 10 to 480 to calculate the final distance:  480 + 10 = 490m.

Therefore, the cats will be 490m apart after 3 minutes of running in opposite directions (with an initial starting point of 10m apart).

Some one help me!,!!,!,!!!!!

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle below and to the right of 30 degrees = 90-30 = 60 degrees,.

< EAC + 5x + 6x = 180

But m < EAC = the angle found in first line so its 60 degrees.

S0 3x + 5x + 60 = 180

8x = 120

x = 15

So m < CAB = 75 degrees and m < BAH = 45 degrees.

Finally the m  <  on top left = 90 degrees.
