Using the magic of algebra!:

The time each train goes in 1 hour will be represented as a / b.
b is 30 more than a, so if we add 30 to a it should equal b.
a + 30 = b
In three hours, the trains are 330 miles apart.
Esentially, we're adding up the distance each train goes from the starting point to find the distance between them.
3b + 3a = 330
Now we have a system of equations to solve.
a + 30 = b
3b + 3a = 330
We want to get the variables on seperate sides of the equation for easy solving.
a + 30 = b
3b = 330 - 3a
Then get the value of the one variable the same so we can use the transitive property.
a + 30 = b
b = 110 - a

a + 30 = 110 - a
2a + 30 = 110
2a = 80
a = 40 
mph

(And thus b = 70 mph)

Answer:

y = 11.5x - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

i created this table in desmos and then entered this equation underneath:

y₁ (tilda sign) = mx₁ + b

desmos will draw a line of best fit and provide the correlation coefficient, slope, and y-intercept

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: E
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: Equals negative 4 + 6 + 5 Step 3: Equals 7 What, if any, was Jane's mistake?

Jane's evaluation :

x² - 3x + 5 for x = - 2

Step 1:

(-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

Step 2:

-4 + 6 + 5

Step 3 :

= 7

Jane's mistake was in STEP2,

evaluating (-2)² = 4 and not - 4

Hence, (-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

= 4 + 6 + 5

= 15

why write a quadratic function whose graph has the given characteristics vertex :(2,3) point on graph (0,-1)
GaryK [48]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

f(x) = -(x -2)² +3

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

We can fill in the vertex (h, k) values immediately in the vertex form ...

... f(x) = a(x -h)² +k

To find the value of a, we solve the equation for a at some point other than the vertex. The given point is (0, -1), so we can use that:

... -1 = a(0 -2)² +3

... -4 = 4a . . . . . . . . . subtract 3, simplify

... -1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Now, we know the function is ...

... f(x) = -(x -2)² +3

Given f (X) = 4x +6 find f (x) = 54
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 4x + 6

f(x) = 54

Step 2: Substitute variables

54 = 4x + 6

Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Subtract 6 on both sides:</u> 48 = 4x

<u>Divide both sides by 4:</u> 12 = x

Step 4: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it is a solution.</em>

f(12) = 4(12) + 6

f(12) = 48 + 6

f(12) = 54
