| 9. The distance between Town A and Town B was 108 km. A car and a van left Town A at 12 00 for Town B. On reaching Town B, the

car returned to Town A by the same route. When the two vehicles met, the distance that the car and the van had travelled was in the ratio 7:5. The average speed of the van was 60 km/h. Calculate
a) the time at which the two vehicles met, and
b) the average speed of the car in km/h.

Answer:

a)  Time until both vehicles meet is 1.5 hours after starting at noon.  That makes it 1:30PM.

b)  Average speed of car is 84 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

A -----------------------z------------B

          <u>Left</u>      <u>Speed(km/h)</u>      <u>Time</u>

Car:   12PM            X  

Van:   12PM           60

Car/Van

DistanceCar        AB + z

DistanceVan       Az

Ratio:                  (AB+z)/Az  = 7/5

Time until both meet = T (in hours)

Distance Car:            xT

Distance Van:           60T

====

  xT = AB + z

  60T = Az

---

(xT/60T)= (7/5)

x = 60(7/5)

x = 84 km/h

=====

Time for car to reach B is:    time (hr) = 108 km/(84 km/h)

                                                 time = 1.286 hours

Distance for at 1.289 hours is:    distance (km) = (60 km/h)*(1.286 h)

                                                   distance = 77.14 km

At 1.286 hours, the car reverses direction.  The van is (108 km - 77.14 km) or 30.86 km away.

Add the distances travelled by both vehicles after the car reverses direction at 1.286 hours.  The sum will be 30.86 km when they meet, at time of T.

Car Distance + Van Distance = 30.86 km

T(84 km/h) + t(60 km)

They meet when they are 0 km apart, which can be modeled with the following equation:

Van travel Distance - Car Travel Distance = 0 starting at 1.286 hr.

Let <u>t</u> be the time <u>after</u> 1.286 hours that both vehicles meet/collide.

t*(60 km/h)  +  t(84 km/h) = 30.86 km

t(60+84) = 30.86 km

t(144 km/h) = 30.86 km

t = 0.2143 hr

Total time until the car and van meet is 1.286 hr + 0.2143 hr for a total of 1.50 hours.

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

a)  Time until both vehicles meet is 1.5 hours after starting at noon.  That makes it 1:30PM.

b)  Average speed of car is 84 km/h

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

<u>CHECK</u>

Is the ratio of the distance travelled by the car and the van until they meet in the ratio of 7/5?

Car distance is (1.5 hr)(84 km/h) = 126 km

Van distance is (1.5 hr)(60 km/h) = 90.0 km

Ratio is 126/90 or 1.4

Ratio of 7/5 is 1.4

<u><em>YES</em></u>

dion flips a coin 20 times and records if it comes up heads. if getting heads is a success, what is the probability of a success
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success (getting heads) on one roll DOESNT affect other rolls, so we need to find probability of getting a head in a roll.

Probability is defined as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

<em>Here, favorable outcome is getting a head. So, on one roll, getting a head is 1. Also, the total number of outcomes is either a head or a tail. So total number of outcomes is 2.</em>

Thus,

P(Heads) = 1/2

Consider the quadratic function: y = 2x^2 + 7x + 10
arsen [322]

Answer:

y-intercept: 10

concavity: function opens up

min/max: min

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) The definition of a y-intercept is what the resulting value of a function is when x is equal to 0.

Therefore, if the function's equation is given, to find y-intercept simply plug in 0 for the x-values:

y = 2x^2+7x+10 = 2(0)^2 + 7(0)+10 = 2(0) + 0 + 10 = 0 + 10 = 10

y intercept ( f(0) )= 10

2.) In order to find concavity (whether a function opens up or down) of a quadratic function, you can simply find the sign associated with the x^2 value. Since 2x^2 is positive, the concavity is positive. This is basically possible, since it is identifying any reflections affecting the y-values / horizontal reflections.

3.) In order to find whether a quadratic function has a maximum or minimum, you can use the concavity of the function. The idea is that if the function opens downwards, the vertex would be at the very top, resulting in a maximum. If a function was open upwards, the vertex would be at the very bottom, meaning there is a minimum. Like the concavity, if the value associated with x^2 is positive, there is a minimum. If it is negative, there is a maximum. Since 2x^2 is positive, the function has a minimum.
