When navigating their crafts, ship captains might be seen drawing lines on a large map using a straightedge. Th is procedure is used to plot intercept courses, which help to predict where the craft might meet an oncoming plane or ship.
Air traffi c controllers must also plot these intercept courses so that an oncoming plane does not meet another plane. To determine whether two ships or planes are on a collision course, it is important to know along which lines they are moving, where they are at a given moment, and how fast they are traveling.
Solve. You might wish to use a drawing to help you solve the problems.
1. Plane A is 40 mi south and 100 mi east of Plane B. Plane A is fl ying 2 mi west for every mile it fl ies north, while Plane B is fl ying 3 mi east for every mile it fl ies south.
a. Where do their paths cross? b. Which plane must fl y farther? c. What ratio of the speed of Plane B to the speed of Plane A would produce a
midair collision?
2. A commercial freight carrier is fl ying at a constant speed of 400 mi/h and is traveling 4 mi east for every 3 mi north. A private plane is observed to be 210 mi due east of the commercial carrier, traveling 12 mi north for every 5 mi west.
a. If it is known that the two planes are on a collision course, how fast is the private plane fl ying?
b. When will the collision take place if it is not averted?
3. A cruise ship is traveling in the Atlantic Ocean at a constant rate of 40 mi/h and is traveling 2 mi east for every 5 mi north. An oil tanker is 350 mi due north of the cruise ship and is traveling 1 mi east for every 1 mi south.
a. How far is each ship from the point at which their paths cross? b. What rate of speed for the oil tanker would put it on a collision course with
the cruise ship?

Th e table shows the winning times for the Olympic 400-M dash. Use your graphing calculator to fi nd linear models for women’s and men’s winning times. Assuming the trends in the table continue, when will the women’s winning time and the men’s winning time be equal? What will that winning time be?
Step 1 Enter the data into lists on your calculator.
L1: number of years since 1968 (value for x)
L2: men’s winning times in seconds (value for y1)
L3: women’s winning times in seconds (value for y2)
Step 2 Use LinReg(ax 1 b) to fi nd linear models. Th is determines the equation of the lines of best fi t for the selected data.
Use L1 and L2 for the men’s winning times.
Use L1 and L3 for the women’s winning times.
Step 3 Graph each model. Use the Intersect feature on the graphing calculator to fi nd the solution of the system. Th e solution is x 5 99.72093 and y 5 42.00168.
Th e linear model shows that if the table’s trends continue, the times for men and women will be equal about 100 years after 1968, in 2068. Th e winning time will be about 42 seconds.
Exercise 8. Th e table shows the winning times for Olympic 500-M speed skating.
Assuming these trends continue, when will the women’s winning time equal the men’s winning time? What will that winning time be?

Your school band is selling calendars as a fundraiser. Wall calendars cost $48 per case of 24. You sell them at $7 per calendar. Pocket calendars cost $30 per case of 40. You sell them at $3 per calendar. You make a profi t of $120 per case of wall calendars and $90 per case of pocket calendars. If the band can buy no more than 1000 total calendars and spend no more than $1200, how can you maximize your profi t if you sell every calendar? What is the maximum profi t?

Well-Conditioned Systems of Linear EquationsA system of linear equations is said to be well-conditioned if a small change in the values of the coeffi cients produces a small change in the values of the solutions. A system is said to be ill-conditioned if a small change in the values of the coeffi cients produces a large change in the values of the solutions.
To determine whether a system of linear equations is well-conditioned or ill-conditioned, change each coeffi cient by one percent. Each time, write and solve the new system, fi nding the values of x and y to two decimal places by writing and solving a matrix. Th en compare the new values of x and y to the solutions of the original system. A change of less than one percent in the values of x and y can be considered small.

About the ProjectThe Chapter Project gives students an opportunity to simulate a successful business by minimizing costs, maximizing profits, and establishing a process for filling orders promptly. Students research costs, study profit margins, and establish selling prices. Students track inventory by designing a spreadsheet.

• Discusstheinformationneededtokeeptrackofacompany’sfilledordersand available stock, and the best way to organize that information on a spreadsheet.
activity 1: Graphing Students write and graph a system of inequalities. Then they determine how many pints of each sauce they can make.
