Answer:

2 hours, 150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance can be used to solve this problem. It can work well to consider just the distance between the drivers, and the speed at which that is changing.

<h3>Separation distance</h3>

Jason got a head start of 20 miles, so that is the initial separation between the two drivers.

<h3>Closure speed</h3>

Jason is driving 10 mph faster than Britton, so is closing the initial separation gap at that rate.

<h3>Closure time</h3>

The relevant relation is ...

time = distance/speed

Then the time it takes to reduce the separation distance to zero is ...

closure time = separation distance / closure speed = 20 mi / (10 mi/h)

closure time = 2 h

Britton will catch up to Jason after 2 hours. In that time, Britton will have driven (2 h)(75 mi/h) = 150 miles.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The attached graph shows the distance driven as a function of time from when Britton started. The distances will be equal after 2 hours, meaning the drivers are in the same place, 150 miles from their starting spot.

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches (in diameter) or larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8. Each additional inch cost

zaharov [31]

Answer:

8 + 1.50x + 0.75y = 19.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of additional inch = x

Let the number of toppings = y

From the question,

A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8.

Each additional inch costs $1.50

Each additional topping costs $0.75.

The equation that represents Josh's pizza is when his total cost amounts to $19.25 is:

$8 + $1.50 × x + $0.75y = $19.25

8 + 1.50x + 0.75y = 19.25

Annie is framing a photo with a length of 6 inches and a width of 4 inches. The distance from the edge of the photo to the edge

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Part a) The quadratic function is $4x^{2} +20x-39=0$

Part b) The value of x is $1.5\ in$

Part c) The photo and frame together are $7\ in$ wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write a quadratic function to find the distance from the edge of the photo to the edge of the frame

Let

x----> the distance from the edge of the photo to the edge of the frame

we know that

$(6+2x)(4+2x)=63\\24+12x+8x+4x^{2}=63\\ 4x^{2} +20x+24-63=0\\4x^{2} +20x-39=0$

Part b) What is the value of x?

Solve the quadratic equation $4x^{2} +20x-39=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem

we have

$4x^{2} +20x-39=0$

so

$a=4\\b=20\\c=-39$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-20(+/-)\sqrt{20^{2}-4(4)(-39)}} {2(4)}$

$x=\frac{-20(+/-)\sqrt{1,024}} {8}$

$x=\frac{-20(+/-)32} {8}$

$x=\frac{-20(+)32} {8}=1.5\ in$ -----> the solution

$x=\frac{-20(-)32} {8}=-6.5\ in$

Part c) How wide are the photo and frame together?

$(4+2x)=4+2(1.5)=7\ in$

Tangent is positive in quadrants I and IV only.<br>True or False

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The statement is false

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$tan(x)=\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

The tangent function will be positive when the sine function and the cosine function have the same sign

so

In the first quadrant the tangent function is positive

In the third quadrant the tangent function is positive

so

The statement is false
