Calculating the Time of a Trip Two oceanfront homes are located 8 miles apart on a straight stretch of beach, each a distance of 1 mile from a paved road that parallels the ocean. See the figure.
Sally can jog 8 miles per hour along the paved road, but only 3 miles per hour in the sand on the beach. Because of a river directly between the two houses, it is necessary to jog in the sand to the road, continue on the road, and then jog directly back in the sand to get from one house to the other. The time to get from one house to the other as a function of the angle shown in the illustration is
,
a. Calculate the time for . How long is Sally on the paved road?
b. Calculate the time for . How long is Sally on the paved road?
c. Calculate the time for . How long is Sally on the paved road?
d. Calculate the time for . Describe the path taken. Why can’t the formula for be used?

A separable differential equation can be written in the form hy) = g(a) where h(y) is a function of y only, and g(x) is a function of r only. All of the equations below are separable. Rewrite each of these in the form h(y) = g(x), then find a general solution by integrating both sides.

- A circle of radius r centered at the point (0,r) in the plane will intersect the y-axis at the origin and the point A=(0,2r), as pictured below. A line passes through the point A and the point C=(11/2,0) on the x-axis. In this problem, we will investigate the coordinates of the intersection point B between the circle and the line, as 1 → ∞ A=(0,2r) B (0,0) (a) The line through A and C has equation: y= 2 117 x+27 (b) The x-coordinate of the point B is 4472 121,2 +4 40 (c) The y-coordinate of the point B is +27 121 44 (d) The limit as r→ ∞ of the x-coordinate of B is 121 (if your answer is oo, write infinity).arrow_forward1.
