Question
Pls send me solution fast within 20 min and i will rate instantly for sure!! Solution must be in typed form
Two objects, A and B, are moving along two different straight lines at
constant speeds. With reference to a particular coordinate system in which
distance is measured in metres, the position of A at time t (in minutes) is
(4t+2, t-1), and the position of B is (2t +5,3t-1).
(a) Find the equation of the line that A moves along.
(b) Let d be the distance between A and B at time t. Show that an
expression for d2 in terms of t is given by
d² = 8t² - 12t +9.
(c) A student attempts to find the shortest distance between A and B as
shown below. There are two lines where the working does not follow on
from the previous line.
d² = 8t²-12t +9
= 8(t²-t) +9
= 8(t)²- +9
= 8(t - 3)² + 135.
16
The minimum value of d² occurs when t =
Hence the minimum distance is 8.4 m (to 2 s.f.).
Find and describe the two mistakes.
Write out a correct solution, stating when the minimum value of d²
occurs and the shortest distance between A and B.
