Two cars are traveling north along a highway. The first drives at 40 mph, and the second, which leaves 3 hours later, travels at 60 mph. How long after the second car leaves will it take for the second car to catch the first?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will make a table and fill it in according to the information provided. What this question is asking us to find, in the end, is how long did it take the cars to travel the same distance. In other words, how long, t, til car 1's distance = car 2's distance. The table looks like this:

              d     =      r     *     t

car1

car2

We can fill in the rates right away:

             d       =      r     *     t

car1                       40

car2                       60

Now it tells us that car 2 leaves 3 hours after car 1, so logically that means that car 1 has been driving 3 hours longer than car 2:

            d     =      r      *      t

car1                     40         t + 3

car2                     60           t

Because distance = rate * time, the distances fill in like this:

                   d      =      r      *      t

car1    40(t + 3)    =      40        t+3

car2          60t     =       60         t

Going back to the interpretation of the original question, I am looking to solve for t when the distance of car 1 = the distance of car 2. Therefore,

40(t+3) = 60t and

40t + 120 = 60t and

120 = 20t so

t = 6 hours.

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of point B are (-2, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Point A (2,−8)

Point C (−4,7)

Point B divides the line AB such that the ratio AB:BC is 2:1.

To find: The coordinates of point B.

Solution:

We can use the segment formula here to find the coordinates of point B which divides line AC in ratio 2:1

[tex]x = \dfrac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n}\\y = \dfrac{my_{2}+ny_{1}}{m+n}[/tex]

Where [tex](x,y)[/tex] is the co-ordinate of the point which  

divides the line segment joining the points [tex](x_{1}, y_{1})[/tex] and [tex](x_{2}, y_{2})[/tex] in the ratio [tex]m:n[/tex].

m = 2

n = 1

As per the given values  

[tex]x_{1} = 2\\x_{2} = -4\\y_{1} = 8\\y_{2} = 7[/tex]

Putting the values in the formula:

[tex]x = \dfrac{2 \times (-4)+1\times 2}{2+1}=\dfrac{-8+2}{3} =-2\\y = \dfrac{2\times 7+1 \times (-8)}{2+1} = \dfrac{6}{3} =2[/tex]

So, the coordinates of point B are (-2, 2).

An entertainment services provider on the internet has 10000 subscribers paying $15 per month. It can get 1000 more subscribers for each $1 decrease in the monthly fee. Determine the monthly fee that will yield the maximum monthly revenue and the value of that revenue

Answers

Answer:

Monthly fee that will yield the maximum monthly revenue is  $12.5

Then the value of the maximum monthly revenue is $156 250

Step-by-step explanation:

x   - value of decrease

1000x   - number of new subscribers for $x decrease

10000+1000x  - number of subscribers after $x decrease in the monthly fee

15-1x      the monthly fee after $x decrease

f(x) = (10000 + 1000x)(15 - x)           ← quadratic function

For quadratic function given in standard form:  f(x) =a(x-h)²+k  where a<0 the f(x)=k is the maximum value of function, and occurs for x=h

[tex]h=\frac{-b}{2a}\ ,\quad k=f(h)[/tex]

Expressing given function to standard form:

f(x) = 1000(10 + x)(15 - x)

f(x) = 1000(150 - 10x + 15x - x²)

f(x) = 1000(-x² + 5x + 150)

f(x) = -1000x² + 5000x + 150000                          {a=-1000<0}

[tex]h=\dfrac{-5000}{2\cdot(-1000)}=\dfrac{5000}{2000}=\dfrac52=2.5\\\\k=f(2.5)=1000(10+2.5)(15-2.5)=1000\cdot12.5\cdot12.5=156\,250[/tex]

15-2.5 = 12.5

Answer:

Monthly fee is $12.5

Value of revenue is $156,250

The base of a regular pyramid is a hexagon.

Answers

If you think about it, a hexagon can be cut into 6 equilateral triangles. Because of this, all you need to do is find the area of one triangle and multiply it by 6. Since the side length of one triangle is 12, we know that is the base. Since the triangles that are created when cutting the equilateral triangle in half are both 30 60 90, the height must be 6(3)^1/3. We can then multiply 12 • 6 radical 3 •1/2 to get 36 radical 3. Multiply this by 6 and get 216 radical 3 units squared.

Which equation does the graph below represent?

y = 1/4 + x

y = 1/4x

y = 4 + x

y = 4x

Answers

Answer:

y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the graph, it is crossing the y-axis at the origin of (0, 0).  This means that the y-intercept (or the "b" in your equation of y = mx + b) will be zero.  Since it is a zero, it would not need to be in the equation.  

So, right now we have y = mx + 0, which would simply be just y = mx.

Next, remember that the "m" in this equation represents the slope.  To find the slope on a graph, it is calculated by rise over run.  If you look at your graph, starting at the origin, the rise is going up 4 units and the run is over by 1.  This makes your slope (or your "m" value) the fraction of 4 over 1 (4/1).

This slope can simply be written as 4 because we know that anything over 1 is just equal to the numerator value.

So, this makes the equation for this line in slope intercept form as the following:

y = mx + b

y = (4/1)x + 0

y = 4x

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{y=4x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets see where the line crosses the y-axis at, the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 0), the y-intercept is 0.

We can use slope-intercept form of the equation to solve.

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

We know b = 0

y = mx + 0

y = mx

We need to find the slope.

slope = rise/run

Take two points: (0, 0) and (1, 4)

m = (4 - 0)/(1 - 0)

m = 4/1

m = 4

The slope of the line is 4.

y = (4)x

y = 4x

A) Table A

Answers

Answer: Table C

With tables A, B and D, we have repeated input (x) values.

Table A has x = 4 repeated. So the input x = 4 leads to both outputs y = 2 and y = 7 at the same time. With any function, we must have exactly one and only one output for any given input. So this is why table A is not a function. Tables B and D are not functions for similar reasons.

Table C on the other hand has unique inputs that do not repeat. The input x = 4 only leads to y = 3, x = 6 pairs with y = 5, and x = 2 outputs to y = 7. Therefore we have a function here.

i need help Samir needs 450g of butter to make 60 shortbread biscuits.How many will he use to make 12 biscuits?​

Answers

Answer: 90 g of butter

================================================

Work Shown:

450 g of butter = 60 biscuits

450/60 g of butter = 60/60 biscuits ... divide both sides by 60

7.5 g of butter = 1 biscuit

This means each biscuit needs 7.5 grams of butter

Multiply both sides by 12 to get

7.5 g of butter = 1 biscuit

12*7.5 g of butter = 12*1 biscuit

90 g of butter = 12 biscuits

x-intercept = -6

y-intercept = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

x - intercept is for y = 0

y - intercept is for x = 0.

We have y = -2x - 21.

Substitute:

x = 0 → y = -2(0) - 12 = 0 - 12 = -12

y = 0 → 0 = -2x - 12          add 2x to both sides

2x = -12         divide both sides by 2

Answer:

(2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Welol to find the line of (3,7) and (2,-1) we need to use the following formula,

[tex]\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}[/tex]

So -1 is y2 7 is y1 so -1 - 7 = -8

2-3 = -1

Hence, the slope of the line is 8.

And graphing more points on the graph using the slope we can see the y intercept is -17.

So the equation is y = 8x - 17

And the mid point is at (2, -1)

Answers

Answer:

x = 138

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

x = B+ C

x = 68+ 70

x =138

Answer:

138 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is made up of 180 degrees, it lists 2 values already, 68&70. when added that equals 138.

So 180-138 is 42 degrees, which would be the last angle within the triangle.

Since a line is also 180 degrees, its 180-42, which makes x 138 degrees

9) Arthur weighs 54 lbs. more than Lily. Their combined weight is 280 lbs. less than 6 times Lily’s weight. How much does Arthur weigh?

Answers

Answer:

137.5 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arthur = 54 + x

Lily = x

Arthur + Lily = 6x - 280

(54 + x) + x = 6x - 280

54 + x + x = 6x - 280

54 + 2x = 6x - 280

54 = 4x - 280

Answer:

  about 325

Step-by-step explanation:

On average, the mileage is about 21.7 miles per gallon, so 15 gallons would be good for about 325 miles.

If we look at the table for fills that total 15 gallons, we see the first and last total 330 miles, and the 3rd and 4th total 314 miles. So, we expect somewhere between these values, on average.

A formal average adds the miles driven and divides by the total of gallons used. That result is shown below. While we might estimate that we could drive 325 miles on 15 gallons, we have found that our mileage actually varies.

I think about 325

Because 198+115+154+160+132=759
9+5+7+8+6=35
759/35 is about 21.7

So it’s 21.7*15 is about 325 or 326

consider the function y= -2 cos(x- pi). what effect does "-2" have on the basic graph? A) horizontal stretch by the factor 2 then flip over vertical axis b) vertical stretch by factor 2 then flip over horizontal axis c) vertical compression by factor 2 d) horizontal compression by factor 2

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

b) Vertically stretches by a factor 2 then flip over horizontal axis

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function y = -2×cos(x - pi), given that the maximum value of the cosine function is 1 and that the value of the cosine function ranges from +1 to -1, we have that a factor larger than 1, multiplying a cosine function vertically stretches the function and a negative factor flips the function over the horizontal axis by transforming the y-coordinate value from y to -y

Therefore, the factor of -2, vertically stretches the the function by a factor of 2 then flip over horizontal axis.

As part of their fundraising for Right To Play, the student council is having a fun-fair at lunch in the schoolyard. You will be running three events at different locations: a basketball foul-shot contest, a mini-putt course, and a dunk-tank. Your job is to locate the ticket booth so that it will be the same distance from each of the events. Describe the process you would use to determine the position of the ticket booth. Create a GeoGebra design that supports your decision.

Answers

Answer:  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

I used a coordinate graph and placed the Ticket Booth at the origin (0, 0)

Then I chose a distance of 4 (you can choose any distance) and placed the three events equidistant from the origin by using the x- and y- axis to easily determine a distance of 4 from the origin.

(0 - 4, 0) = (-4, 0)

(0 + 4, 0) = (4, 0)

(0, 0 + 4) = (0, 4)

If the booths are placed first you would need to find the equation of a circle that contains all three points and place the booth at the center.

You do this by creating a system of three equations inputting the x,y coordinates of each booth and solving for h, k, r.

Equation of a circle is: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Tha area of the box.

Area = 20 x 30 x 36 = 21600 cm³

The area of the book.

Area = 6 x 15 x 20 = 1800 cm³

The number of books that can fit in the box.

= Area of the box / Area of the book

= 21600 / 1800

= 12
