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)

The function with a rate of change of 3/2 whose graph passes through the point (4,10.5)
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The function is f(x) =   \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{9}{2}  

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a linear function is y-y_{1}=m(x - x_{1}) , where

  • m is the slope of the graph (rate of change)
  • (x_{1} , y_{1}) is a point on the line (the line passes through it)

∵ The function has a rate of change  \frac{3}{2}

- The rate of change is the slope of the graph

∴ m =  \frac{3}{2}

∵ The graph is passes through point (4 , 10.5)

∴ x_{1} = 4 and y_{1} = 10.5

Substitute m and the coordinates of the point in the form of the equation

∵ y-y_{1}=m(x - x_{1})

∴ y - 10.5 = \frac{3}{2} (x - 4)

Simplify the right hand side

∴ y - 10.5 =  \frac{3}{2} (x) -  \frac{3}{2} (4)

∴ y - 10.5 =  \frac{3}{2} x - 6

Add 10.5 to both sides

∴ y =  \frac{3}{2} x + 4.5

∵ 4.5 = \frac{9}{2}

∴ y =  \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{9}{2}

∵ y = f(x)

∴ f(x) =  \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{9}{2}

The function is f(x) =   \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{9}{2}

An injection-molded part is likely to be obtained from any one of 8 cavities on a mold. Round your answers to three decimal plac
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(b) The probability is 0.375

(c) The probability is 0.750

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is calculated as a division between the number of options that satisfy a condition and the total number of options.

For part (b), we have 8 cavities or options for obtain the part but we want to obtain the part from cavity 1, 2 or 3, so we have 3 options. Therefore, the probability is:

\frac{3}{8}  = 0.375

For part (c), We have 8 cavities or options for obtain the part and we want to obtain the part from any cavity except cavity 3 or 4, so we have 6 options. These options are cavity 1, cavity 2, cavity 5, cavity 6, cavity 7 and cavity 8. Then, the probability is:

\frac{6}{8} = 0.750

The diameter of a circle is 10 cm. Find its area in terms of π.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

7.9577cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

10 = 2 * r * pi

==> r = 5/pi

area = r * r * pi = 25/pi = 7.9577cm^2
