Question

Company is testing a robot.The robot is 12 inches tall and weigh 4 pounds.The employees of the company marked a grid on the floor and set the robot at(4,4). They programmed the robot to walk 4 yards east and 6 yards north each minute.What will the robot's location be after 7 minutes? The x coordinate and the y coordinate

Answer 1

`P(2)=(32,46)`

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of robot
`h=12 inches`

Weight of robot
`W=4`

Start position
`P(1)=(4,4)`

Per minute distance
`d=(4,6)`

Total time
`T=7min`

Generally the distance traveled in 7 minutes
`d_T` is mathematically given by

`d_T=d*T`

`d_T=(4.6)*7`

`d_T=(28,42)`

Generally the position of the robot after 7 minutes is mathematically given by

`P(2)=P(1)+d_T`

`P(2)=(4,4)+(28,42)`

`P(2)=(32,46)`

Therefore the position of the robot after 7 minutes is

`P(2)=(32,46)`
