At t t t hours after noon, the position vectors are
a = ( − 9 + 3 t ) i + ( 6 + 12 t ) j , b = ( 16 + p t ) i + ( 6 + q t ) j . \begin{align*}
\mathbf a=&\,(-9+3t)\mathbf i+(6+12t)\mathbf j,\\
\mathbf b=&\,(16+pt)\mathbf i+(6+qt)\mathbf j.
\end{align*} a = b = ( − 9 + 3 t ) i + ( 6 + 12 t ) j , ( 16 + pt ) i + ( 6 + q t ) j .
Therefore
A B → = b − a , = [ 25 + ( p − 3 ) t ] i + ( q − 12 ) t j . \begin{align*}
\overrightarrow{AB}=&\,\mathbf b-\mathbf a,\\
=&\,\bigl[25+(p-3)t\bigr]\mathbf i+(q-12)t\mathbf j.
\end{align*} A B = = b − a , [ 25 + ( p − 3 ) t ] i + ( q − 12 ) t j .
Comparing with ( 25 − 12 t ) i − 9 t j (25-12t)\mathbf i-9t\mathbf j ( 25 − 12 t ) i − 9 t j ,
p − 3 = − 12 , q − 12 = − 9. p-3=-12,\qquad q-12=-9. p − 3 = − 12 , q − 12 = − 9.
Thus p = − 9 , q = 3 \boxed{p=-9,\quad q=3} p = − 9 , q = 3 .

When the distance is 15 km,
( 25 − 12 t ) 2 + ( − 9 t ) 2 = 15 2 , 225 t 2 − 600 t + 400 = 0 , ( 15 t − 20 ) 2 = 0 , t = 4 3 h . \begin{align*}
(25-12t)^2+(-9t)^2=&\,15^2,\\
225t^2-600t+400=&\,0,\\
(15t-20)^2=&\,0,\\
t=&\,\frac43\ \mathrm h.
\end{align*} ( 25 − 12 t ) 2 + ( − 9 t ) 2 = 225 t 2 − 600 t + 400 = ( 15 t − 20 ) 2 = t = 1 5 2 , 0 , 0 , 3 4 h .
At this time,
A B → = 9 i − 12 j k m , B A → = − 9 i + 12 j k m . \overrightarrow{AB}=9\mathbf i-12\mathbf j\ \mathrm{km},\qquad
\overrightarrow{BA}=-9\mathbf i+12\mathbf j\ \mathrm{km}. A B = 9 i − 12 j km , B A = − 9 i + 12 j km .
Thus A A A is 9 km west and 12 km north of B B B . Let θ \theta θ be the angle west of north. Then
tan θ = 9 12 , θ = 36.8699 … ∘ . \tan\theta=\frac9{12},\qquad \theta=36.8699\ldots^\circ. tan θ = 12 9 , θ = 36.8699 … ∘ .
The bearing of A A A from B B B is
360 ∘ − θ = 323.130 … ∘ = 323 ∘ 360^\circ-\theta=323.130\ldots^\circ=\boxed{323^\circ} 36 0 ∘ − θ = 323.130 … ∘ = 32 3 ∘
