Answer:

They'll meet after 200 meters , if they simultaneously start running towards each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x =distance travelled by dog and 200-x be the distance travelled by cat. Inorder to meet, the sum of their travelled distances shall be equal to 200 meters as they are far apart by 200 meters.

Dog: Distance =Speed x time: x=30t

Cat: Distance = 200-x

=24t

The sum of their distance travelled shall be 200 meters: 30t+ 24t= 200;54t=200;t=200/54=3.7secs

So they will meet after 3.7 seconds

To check:

Distance travelled by dog :x=30(3.7)

=111.11 meters

Distance travelled by cat: 24t=24(3.7)

=88.89 meters

Therefore since they are travelling towards each other and their distance apart is 200 meters, after 3.7 seconds they will meet because dog travelled 111.11 meters and cat travelled 88.89 meters and they covered already 200 meters as the sum of 111.11+ 88.89

=200 meters

A ramp slopes from a warehouse door down to the street. The height of the ramp is 5 feet, and the ramp ends 10 feet from the bas
Tomtit [17]
If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.

Which function is a quadratic function? F(x) =2x^2, g(x) =5x^3,k(x)=-x,b(x)=-9x^4
Katen [24]

Answer:

F(x)=2x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, a quadratic function has x^2 in it (standard form ax^2+bx+c with non-zero a). The others have x^3, -x, x^4, etc., which clearly are NOT x^2.
