Problema Solution
Terrance and Jesse are training for a long-distance race. Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour, and Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes.
How long will each person take to run a total of 50 miles at the given rates?
Answer provided by our tutors
d = 50 mi the distance
t1 = the time of Terrance
t2 = the time of Jesse
Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour thus his rate is:
v1 = 6/0.5 = 12 mph
Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes thus his rate is:
v2 = 2/(15/60) = 8 mph
since speed = distance/time follows time = distance/speed:
t1 = d/v1
t1 = 50/12
t1 = 4 1/6 hr
t1 = 4 hr 10 min
t2 = d/v2
t2 = 50/8
t2 = 6 1/4 hr
t2 = 6 hr 15 min
Terrance will run 4 hours and 10 minutes.
Jesse will run 6 hours and 15 minutes.
If you have a graphing calculator just put in the equation in 'y=' (not the i equation), and then go to 2nd trace and see where the y=0, those numbers under the x column are the zeros. For the first one, the zeros are: -1, .5, and 2.8. For the second question the zeros are: -3 and about 1.9. The zeros with a decimal are estimations.

Step-by-step explanation:
For a triangle the area is

If our triangle is isosceles and the 2 congruent sides each measure 4 and they include an angle of 40 degrees, let's say that the vertex angle is 40 and the sides that are not the base each measure 4. If we drop an altitude from the vertex to the base, we cut the triangle into 2 right triangles, with the vertex angle being 20 degrees and the hypotenuse being 4. To find the base, then, which is opposite the angle, we use the sin ratio:
and
4sin(20) = b so
b = 1.368
But we need the whole base, and that is only half of it. So
2b = 2.736
To find the height, which is adjacent to the angle, we use the cos ratio:
and
4cos(20) = h so
h = 3.759
Now we have enough info to find the area of the triangle using the triangle area formula from above:
and
A = 5 meters squared.
Answer:
It's 4.75
Step-by-step explanation:
If you subtract 5-.25=? The answer would be 4.75. Hope this helps.
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
From the Pascal's triangle,
The coefficients are :
1, 5, 10,10, 5,1
Because of the negative sign, the expansion will alternate sign.

We now put y=5 into the expansion to get,
