Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels12m/hrslower than the other. If the

two buses are 765 miles apart after 6 hours, what is the rate of each bus?

distance = speed * time

the first bus speed = x

second bus = x - 12

the sum of distance = 765 miles

first distance = 6x

second distance = 6 (x -12)

6x + 6(x-12) = 765

x + x -12 = 127.5

2x = 139.5

x = 69.75 mi/h which is the faster bus

the second bus speed = 57.75 mi/h

A shoemaker makes 15,200$ and 912$ in commission (included in 15,200). What is the percent he made in commission to he whole amo
kodGreya [7K]

The total amount of money he only made is calculated by the formula:

amount made = 15,200 – 912

amount made = 14,288

 

Therefore the percentage commission was:

% commission = 912 / 14,288 * 100%

<span>% commission = 6.38 %</span>

Which exponential function is represented by the graph?
Anna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this using our formula for exponential functions:

y=a(b)^x where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate. We will fill that equation in with 2 of the coordinates on the graph and come up with the values for both a and b. (0, 3) and (1, 6):

3=a(b)^0. Anything raised to the power of 0 is 1, so that means that

a = 3. We will use that value along with the x and y from the second coordinate to solve for b:

6=3(b)^1. b to the first is just b, so our equation is

6 = 3b and

b = 2.

Our equation then is

y=3(2)^x, the third choice down.

A helicopter is flying above a town. the local high school is directly to the east of the helicopter at a 20° angle of depressio
guapka [62]
Answer: 4.5 miles

Explanation:

When you draw the situation you find two triangles.

1) Triangle to the east of the helicopter

a) elevation angle from the high school to the helicopter = depression angle from the helicopter to the high school = 20°

b) hypotensue = distance between the high school and the helicopter

c) opposite-leg to angle 20° = heigth of the helicopter

d) adyacent leg to the angle 20° = horizontal distance between the high school and the helicopter = x

2) triangle to the west of the helicopter

a) elevation angle from elementary school to the helicopter = depression angle from helicopter to the elementary school = 62°

b)  distance between the helicopter and the elementary school = hypotenuse

c) opposite-leg to angle 62° = height of the helicopter

d) adyacent-leg to angle 62° = horizontal distance between the elementary school and the helicopter = 5 - x

3) tangent ratios

a) triangle with the helicpoter and the high school

tan 20° = Height / x ⇒ height = x tan 20°

b) triangle with the helicopter and the elementary school

tan 62° = Height / (5 - x) ⇒ height = (5 - x) tan 62°

c) equal the height from both triangles:

x tan 20° = (5 - x) tan 62°

x tan 20° = 5 tan 62° - x tan 62°

x tan 20° + x tan 62° = 5 tan 62°

x  (tan 20° + tan 62°) = 5 tan 62°

⇒ x = 5 tant 62° / ( tan 20° + tan 62°)

⇒ x = 4,19 miles

=> height = x tan 20° = 4,19 tan 20° = 1,525 miles

4) Calculate the hypotenuse of this triangle:

hipotenuese ² = x² + height ² = (4.19)² + (1.525)² = 19.88 miles²

hipotenuse = 4.46 miles

Rounded to the nearest tenth = 4.5 miles

That is the distance between the helicopter and the high school.
