recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.


let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.


they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.


When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{Train A}&d&85&t\\ \textit{Train B}&210-d&65&t \end{array}\\\\ \dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=85t\\ 210-d=65t\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ 210-\boxed{85t}=65t \end{cases} \\\\\\ 210=150t\implies \cfrac{210}{150}=t\implies \cfrac{7}{5}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{one hour and 24 minutes}}{1\frac{2}{5}=t}

How many ways can a president, vis-president and treasurer be selected from a group of 15 students?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

455ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is expressed as 15 C 3 ( C- combination)

The concept of combination is used when we talk about selection.

Now we are selecting 3 from a sample of 15

15 C 3 = 15! / (15-3)! 3! = 15 ×14×13×12!/12!×3×2

= 5 × 7 × 13 = 455ways

For A brainlist ** explain
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

So interval notation is with ( and [ where ( is exclusive and [ is inclusive.

Like (1,2) is between 1 and 2 exclusive. [1,2] is between 1 and 2 inclusive. (1,2] is between 1 and 2, 1 exclusive 2 inclusive.

at the point (6,0) you see that the graph goes from above 0 to below 0 (from positive to negative)

The values are positive when x is less than 6 and negative when x is greater than 6.

so the positive interval is

(-infinity, 6)

and with inifinity you always use exclusive

It's that because everything from all the way to the left (-infinity) to 6, is above the x-axis, which means it's positive

using this logic can you do the negative interval?
