Two trains leave Cleveland at the same time. One train travels east and the other travels west. The speed of the westbound train

is 4mph greater than the speed of the eastbound train. After 3.5 hours, they are 658 miles apart. Find the rate of each train. Assume that the trains travel in a straight line in directly opposite directions

Answer:

The eastbound train travels at 92 mph and the westbound train travels at 96 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Velocity = distance / time

If the eastbound train travels at x miles per hour, the westbound train travels at x + 4 mph.

After 3.5 hours, they are 658 miles apart. If we solve for distance the formula given above we have: Distance = velocity x time. We have that the total distance between both trains is 658 miles.

Substituting the values of the problem and solving for x we have

658 = 3.5x+3.5(x+4)\\658=3.5x+3.5x+14\\644=7x\\92=x

Thus, the eastbound train travels at 92 mph and the westbound train travels at 96 mph.

Answer:

Option 2: (1,0) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality is:

y>-5x+3

In order to find which point is solution to the given inequality we'll put the point one by one in the inequality. If the point satisfies the inequality, then the point is the solution of the inequality.

Putting (0,3) in inequality

3 > -5(0)+3\\3>0+3\\3>3

Putting (1,0) in inequality

0>-5(1)+3\\0>-5+3\\0>-2

Putting (-3,1) in inequality

1 > -5(-3)+1\\1> 15+1\\1>16

Putting (-1,-2) in inequality

-2>-5(-1)+3\\-2>5+3\\-2>8

The inequality is true for (1,0)

Hence,

Option 2: (1,0) is the correct answer

A ladder is leaning against a wall. The top of the ladder is 9 feet (ft) above the ground. If the bottom of the ladder is moved
Komok [63]

Step 1

<u>First situation</u>

when a ladder is leaning against a wall

Let

x-------> the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall

L-------> the length of the ladder

<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

L^{2} =x^{2}+ 9^{2} ------> equation 1

Step 2

<u>Second situation</u>

when the ladder will be lying flat on the ground

<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>

In this situation the length of the ladder is equal to

L=x+3

square both sides

L^{2}=(x+3)^{2} ------> equation 2

Step 3

equate equation 1 and equation 2

x^{2}+ 9^{2}=(x+3)^{2}\\x^{2}+81=x^{2} +6x+9\\ 6x=81-9\\6x=72\\x=12\ ft

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the length of the ladder is 12\ ft

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
