Question

A walker on a trail travels along the path described by the parametric equations

x1 (t) = 80 - 0.8 t
y1 (t) = 4t
A cub leaves another area of the trail to the west and travels along the path described by the parametric equations
x2 (t) = 0.2t
y2 (t) = 40 + 0.6 t




a. do the pathways of the walker and cub intersect?
b. do the walker and cub collide?

Answer 1

no,the pathway of the walker and cub don't intersect
