mouse ((x),(y) ) = ((0),(1) ) + (((6p)),((−2p)) ) cat ((x),(y) ) = ((0),((−1)) ) + (((8q)),(q) ) the paths intersect at 6p=8q∧1−2p=−1+q ⇒ p=(8/(11))∧q=(6/(11)) ⇒ ⇒ ((x),(y) ) = (((48/11)),((−5/11)) ) but they don′t meet because p≠q. p>q means the mouse is late for the time when they are the nearest let p=q=t the position of the mouse is (((6t)),((1−2t)) ) the position of the cat is (((8t)),((−1+t)) ) their distance is (√((6t−8t)^2 +(1−2t−(−1+t)^2 ))= =(√(13t^2 −12t+4)) the minimum distance is at t=(6/(13)) and is ((4(√(13)))/(13))≈1.11m
