Solve the problem.Car A (travelling north at 70 mph) and car B (traveling west at 40 mph) are heading toward the same intersection. Car A is 5 miles from the intersection when car B is 6 miles from the intersection. . Find a formula for the distance between the cars as a function of time, using the parametric equations that describe the motion of cars A and B. Using a graphing utility, find the minimum distance between the cars. When are the cars closest?
