Solve the following word problem. A man travels from town X to town Y at an average rate of 60 mph and returns at an average spe

ed of 50 mph. He takes a 1/2 hour longer than he would take if he made the round trip at an average of 55 mph. What is the distance from town X to Y?
___ miles

Answer:

  • d = 1650 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance be d

<u>Then the time in travel is</u>

  • d/60 one way, d/50 on return

<u>The round trip would take 1/2 hours longer if the average speed was 55 mph</u>

  • d/60 + d/50 = 2d/55 + 1/2
  • d/60 + d/50 - 2d/55 = 1/2

LCM(60,50,55) = 11*12*5*5 = 3300

  • 55d/3300 + 66d/3300 - 120d/3300 = 1/2
  • d/3300= 1/2
  • d = 1650 miles

What is the slope of the line between (−4, 4) and (−1, −2)? i got -3??????? which isn't an answer.
kolbaska11 [484]
Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x between two points. Slope = y2 - y1/x2 - x1 -2 - 4/ -1 - (-4) -6/3 -2 Hope this helps!

1. Adjacent angles are two angles in the same plane with a common
stepan [7]

Answer:

Adjacent angles are two angles in the same plane with a common  <u>VERTEX</u> and a common  <u>SIDE</u> but no common interior points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles share a common side on the same vertes, but they do not overlap each other.

In the attached image, ∠ABD is adjacent to ∠DBC, but ∠ABC is not adjacent to any of them.

Factorise x cube -2x square -5x plus 6
zepelin [54]

Answer:   {(x + 2), (x - 1), (x - 3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Presented symbolically, we have:

x^3 - 2x^2 - 5x + 6

Synthetic division is very useful for determining roots of polynomials.  Once we have roots, we can easily write the corresponding factors.  

Write out possible factors of 6:  {±1, ±2, ±3, ±6}

Let's determine whether or not -2 is a root.  Set up synthetic division as follows:

-2   /   1   -2   -5   6

              -2     8   -6

     -----------------------

        1     -4      3    0

since the remainder is zero, we know for sure that -2 is a root and (x + 2) is a factor of the given polynomial.  The coefficients of the product of the remaining two factors are {1, -4, 3}.  This trinomial factors easily into {(x -1), (x - 3)}.

Thus, the three factors of the given polynomial are {(x + 2), (x - 1), (x - 3)}
