An Uber driver carries riders to and from a local airport and a neighboring suburb. Due to traffic and the time of day the drive

r works, the trip to the airport takes 60 minutes longer than the trip to the suburb. The car’s average speed in traffic is 30 miles per hour. Without traffic, the car travels 15 miles per hour. The equation can be used to determine how many miles apart the two locations are shown. What is the value of m, the distances between the two locations?
A) 0.5 miles
B) 22.5 miles
C) 30 miles
D) 90 miles

Answer: Choice B) 22.5 miles

--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------

To find that answer, we simply solve for m

m/(30-15) = m/(30+15) + 1
m/15 = m/45 + 1
45*m/15 = 45*(m/45 + 1) ... multiply both sides by the LCD to clear out fractions
3m = 45*(m/45) + 45*(1)
3m = m+45
3m-m = m+45-m
2m = 45
2m/2 = 45/2
m = 45/2 <--- answer as a fraction
m = 22.5 <--- answer in decimal form

Use a calculator or long division to convert from fraction to decimal form.

How do you find the AOS and vertex of a quadratic?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The standard form of a quadratic is y = ax^2 + bx + c.

  • In this equation, the formula for the axis of symmetry is x = \frac{-b}{2a}.
  • You know that the center will always be along that line, and you've got the x-coordinate already, so just plug that in and get the y-coordinate out for the center.

The vertex form of a quadratic is also helpful, y = a(x-h)^2 + k.

  • In this equation, the formula for the center is (h, k), and the axis of symmetry is x = h! That's even easier!

Find the value of this expression if x=-7. x^2 -1 /x+4
belka [17]

Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -1 /x+4

By putting the value of x in the expression as x = -7

= (-7)^2 - 1/ -7 +4

= (+49) - 1/ -3

= 48/-3

= -16

Margaret has some cows. The cows produce an average total of 11.9
Leokris [45]

Answer:

6902

Step-by-step explanation:

Total milk produced in 290 days = 11.9 x 290 = 3451 litres

If 1 bottle has a capacity of 0.5l, the number of bottles needed = 3451 / 0.5 = 6902 bottles

Find x y and z. Thanks!
stepan [7]

Answer:

x = 6, z = 5.66 to nearest hundredth.

y = 90 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the chord intersection theorem 12*4 = 8 * x

So x = 6.

By the tangent / chord theorem:

z^2 = 2 * (12+4)

z^2 = 32

z = 5.66.

I'm not 100% sure of the value of angle y but I think its

1/2(100 + 80) = 90 degrees.

I'll try and check that out.

Yes that is right.
