Q1
Jessica and Matthew are running toward the point P along the straight paths that make a fixed angle of 0 (Figure 1).
Suppose that Matthew runs with velocity v₁ (m/s) and Jessica with velocity v₂ (m/s).
Let f(x, y) be the distance from Matthew to Jessica when Matthew is a meters from P and Jessica is y meters from P.
FIGURE 1
Show that f(x, y) =√x² + y² - 2xy cos 0.
• Assume that 0 = π/3. Use the Chain Rule to determine the rate at which the distance between Matthew and Jessica is changing when
x = 18, y = 13, va = 2 m/s, and v₂ = 5 m/s.
