Ermias and Jeremiah both leave the bookstore at the same time, but in opposite directions. If Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than

Ermias and after 8 hours they are 240 miles apart, how fast is each traveling?

Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:

x, x + 8

They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.

In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:

8(2x +8) = 240

2x + 8 = 30

2x = 22

x = 11.

Then:

  • x = 11 -> Ermias.
  • x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.

irina [24]

Expression 20 – 3J represents the change in dollars, which construction worker will receive after buying J bottles of juice.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that  

A construction worker bought several bottles of juice for $3 at the comedian store

She paid for them the $20 bills

Number of bottles of juice is represented by variable J

Need to write an expression for the change she receives.  

From given information

Price of 1 juice bottle = $3

\text { So price of J juice bottles }=\mathrm{J} \times \text { Price of } 1 \text { juice bottle }

=\mathrm{J} \times 3=3 \mathrm{J}

<em>Change she receives = Amount she paid - price of J juice bottles   </em>

=> Change she receives = 20 – 3J

Hence expression 20 – 3J represents the change in dollars, which construction worker will receive after buying J bottles of juice.

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function in Exercise, find the derivative of the function. See Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.
mestny [16]

Answer:

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{x(x+1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function  

y=ln\frac{x}{x+1}

We have to find the derivative of the function  

y=lnx-ln(x+1)

By using property

ln\frac{m}{n}=ln m-ln n

Differentiate w.r.t x

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x+1}

By using formula

\frac{d(ln x)}{dx}=\frac{1}{x}

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x+1-x}{x(x+1)}

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{x(x+1)}

Hence, the derivative of function

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{x(x+1)}
