Answer:

17.33 hours or 17 hours 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance travelled per hour for truck "A" = 58 miles.

The distance travelled per hour for truck "B" = 46 miles.

Now, it is obvious that the first truck (Truck A) was travelling with a fairly greater speed than the second truck (Truck B) so it is safe to say that the distance covered by truck A in a given number of hours will certainly be greater than the distance that is covered by truck B over the same period. In this situation, let us use "y" to represent that number of hours that it will take for the distance between the two trucks to now become 208 miles assuming the two trucks (A and B) maintained their respective average speed.

This means that, for that number of hours(y), the distance covered by the first truck (truck A) will be 58 × y = 58ymiles and the distance that the second truck would cover over the same period will be 46 × y = 46ymiles.

This ultimately implies that the distance between them or the difference between the distances that the trucks have covered after this unknown number of hours is 208miles. Since they are travelling due west and due east respectively and the first truck is travelling at a greater speed, then:

58y miles - 46y miles = 208 miles.

12y = 208

y = 208/12

y = 17.33 hours.

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, then 0.33 hours is:

1 hour --------- 60 mins

0.33 hour -------- ? mins

= 0.33/1 × 60/1 = 20 minutes

If the drivers of both trucks maintained their average speeds, then the time it will take for them to become 208 miles apart is 17 hours 20 minutes or 17.33 hours

If the coefficient of x^2 is negative, the graph will be n shaped and curve down instead of like a u shape if it was positive. If the vertex is below the x axis and curves down, it won’t pass the x axis, Tia is right.

Law of cosines.Anyone good in Trigonometry?​
marin [14]

Answer:

c=11.8\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula of law of cosines is equal to

c^2=a^2+b^2-2(a)(b)cos(C)

where

a, b and c are sides. C is the angle opposite side c

In this problem we have

a=3\ units\\b=10\ units

C=120^o

substitute the given values

c^2=3^2+10^2-2(3)(10)cos(120^o)

c^2=109-(60)cos(120^o)

c^2=109-(60)(-0.5))

c^2=109+30

c^2=139

c=11.8\ units

Answer:

Elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

You would not do substitution since it would not work so you do elimination since the 4y and -4y eliminate then you just solve for it.

If f(x) = x2 + 2x + 3, what is the average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [-4, 6]?
a_sh-v [17]

Calculating the value of f(x) for the given interval.

For x = - 4, f(x) = f(- 4) = (- 4)^2 + 2 (- 4) + 3 = 11

For x = 6, f(x) = f(6) = (6)^2 + 2 (6) + 3 = 51

Now using formula for the calculation of average rate of change of f(x) over the given interval of [- 4, 6];

(f(b) – f(a)) / b – a = (f(6) – f(- 4)) / 6 – (- 4) = (51 -11) / 10 = 4

<span>So option “E” is correct.</span>
