Tom and Linda stand at point A. Linda begins to walk in a straight line away from Tom at a constant rate of 2 miles per hour. One hour later, Tom begins to jog in a straight line in the exact opposite direction at a constant rate of 6 miles per hour. If both Tom and Linda travel indefinitely, what is the positive difference, in minutes, between the amount of time it takes Tom to cover the exact distance that Linda has covered and the amount of time it takes Tom to cover twice the distance that Linda has covered?

Then 1/2 or  30 minutes is the required time for Tom to cover the exact distance that Linda one hour before.

Two hours after Tom began Tom would cover 12 miles and three hours after Linda started Linda would be 6 miles far away from the starting point

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda walks in a straight line at 2 miles/hour

then after t ( hours time) she is    2 (m/h) * t   = d (L)

for Tom running at 6 m/h starting one hour later to cover the same distance d(L)

d(L)  =  6 m/h * ( t - 1 )    then:

2 (m/h) * t   =   6 m/h * ( t - 1 )

2*t  =  6*t - 6

4*t = 6

t = 6/4

t =  1,5 h

Checking that result.

we see that in 1,5 hours Linda has covered  2* 1,5  = 3 miles

and  in 0.5 hours  Tom covered the same distance  0,5 * 6 = 3 miles

NOTE: Remember that tom started one hour later.

Then 1/2 or  30 minutes is the required time for Tom to cover the exact distance that Linda one hour before.

b)  In this case

d(T) = 6* ( t - 1 )       must be equal  to  twice of the Linda distance

d(L)  = 2 * 2 * t

6*t - 6  =  4*t

2*t  =  6

t  = 3

To check it

in 3 hours   Linda had covered  3 * 2  =  6 miles

in 2 hours   Tom had covered   2 * 6  =  12 miles

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
