Calculate the time it takes to reach the cat (located just at the riverside. Compare the path for a Labrador, a Poodle, and a smart dog! All dogs are starting at a distance of 20 m apart from the opposite riverside. Set up the equations, solve them analytically first and then with suitable parameters. The width of the river is 40 m, the distance of the cat along the river is also 40 m. Dogs run with 30 km/h and swim with 10 km/h.
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
