How fast is the distance between the two cars decreasing? 2009-12-08
Jenny pose la question :
Two cares are on a collision course toward point P. The paths of the two cars make a 30 degree angle with each other. The first car is 40 km from P, and traveling toward P at 16 km/hour. The second car is 50 km from P, traveling at 20 km/hour. How fast is the (straight line) distance between the two cars decreasing. (Hint: Law of Cosines)

Simplifying a quadratic expression 2009-12-07
Sabbie pose la question :
Hi, I need help solving this equation for my physics homework,so I can solve the quadratic equations for x and y. I've derived the following equations from the information provided in the question.

2a+3b = 4 -- 1
2a^2 + 3b^2 = 62 -- 2

a=2-(3/2)b is substituted into equation 2.

so, i get
2 (2-(3/2)b)^2 + 3b^2 = 62

this is where the problem begins. i cannot work through this to get to the correct quadratic equation

5b^2-8b-36=0

I can't seem to be able to figure out where I keep going wrong. I would really appreciate it if you could give me a step-by-step breakdown of the workout.

thanks!

An equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle 2009-12-06
anna pose la question :
An equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle of radius 6. Find x and the length of one side of the equilateral triangle. The picture is a triangle where the corners touch the sides of a circle and there is a line drawn down the middle of the triangle. A point labeled D which is in the triangle but im pretty sure that its marking the radius of the circle. From that point D is a line going from that point to the bottom left corner of the triangle. So this line shall make another mini triangle. The bottom of the big triangle is then split into 2 segments and the left segment is labeled x. Please help for I am stuck!
