Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
Two radio signaling stations A and B lie on an east-west line, with A 100 miles west of B. A plane is flying west on a line 50 miles north of the line AB. Radio signals are sent (travelling at 0.2 miles/? sec) simultaneously from A and B, and the one sent from B arrives at the plane 400 ? sec before the one sent from A. Where is the plane?
