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.

The answer would be A) 2,640.

In order to find this we must first find an amount of people per square feet. Since we are given that 10 people fit in a 5x5 square, we know that 10 people fit in 25 square feet. This will be the basis for our final calculation.

Now we need to find how many square feet we have. Since it is a quarter of a mile long, we'll divide the number of feet in a mile by 4.

5,280/4 = 1320.

Now we take the length and multiply it by the width, which is 5ft.

1320 * 5 = 6,600 square feet.

So we now know the size of the crowd. We can use that and multiply it by the factor that we found at the start to find the number of people.

6,600 square feet * 10 people/ 25 square feet = 2,640 people.

Shark Inc. has determined that demand for its newest netbook model is given by lnq−3lnp+0.004p=7ln⁡q−3ln⁡p+0.004p=7, where q is

olga2289 [7]

<span>a) Differentiate both sides of lnq − 3lnp + 0.003p=7 with respect to p, keeping in mind that q is a function of p and so using the Chain Rule to differentiate any functions of q:

(1/q)(dq/dp) − 3/p + 0.003 = 0
dq/dp = (3/p − 0.003)q.

So E(p) = dq/dp (p/q) = (3/p − 0.003)(q)(p/q) = (3/p − 0.003)p = 3 − 0.003p.

b) The revenue is pq.
Note that (d/dp) of pq = q + p dq/dp = q[1 + dq/dp (p/q)] = q(1 + E(p)), which is zero when E(p) = −1. Therefore, to maximize revenue, set E(p) = −1:

3 − 0.003p = −1
0.003p = 4
p = 4/0.003 = 4000/3 = 1333.33</span>

3 - 5y = -37 for math 8th

hram777 [196]

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

3 - 5y = -37

Step 2: Subtract 3 on both sides

-5y = -40

Step 3: Divide both sides by -5

y = 8

Find the value of r (5,9) (r,7) m=-4

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

r = 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

m = slope

slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

-4 = (7 - 9)/(r - 5)

cross multiply

-4(r - 5) = 7 - 9

clearing brackets

-4r + 20 = -2

-4r = -22

r = 22/4 = 11/2
