Answer: Tiffany 15mph, Maggie 20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation 4((x+5) + x) = 140. x+5 represents how many miles Maggie covered in one hour. x represents how much Tiffany traveled in one hour. 140 is the number of miles in total. 4 is the number of hours in total.

Simplify the equation.

(x+5) + x = 35    Divide both sides by 4

2x+5 = 35         Combine like terms

2x = 30              Subtract 5 from both sides

x = 15                 Divide both sides by 2

Tiffany traveled 15mph, while Maggie traveled 15+5=20mph.

The number N of cars produced at a certain factory in 1 day after t hours of operation is given by Upper N (t )equals 800 t minu
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The cost C as a function of t is C(t) = 30,000 + 6,400,000 t - 40,000 t²

Step-by-step explanation:

The function N(t) = 800 t -  5t², represents the number of cars produced at a time t hours in a day, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 10

The function C(N) = 30,000 + 8,000 N, represents the cost C​ (in dollars) of producing N cars

We need to find The cost C as a function of the time t

That means Substitute N in C by its function by other word find the composite function (C о N)(t)

∵ C(N) = 30,000 + 8,000 N

∵ N(t) = 800 t - 5 t²

- Substitute N in C by 800 t - 5 t²

∴ C(N(t)) = 30,000 + 8000(800 t - 5 t²)

- Multiply the bracket by 8000

∴ C(N(t)) = 30,000 + 8000(800 t) - 8000(5 t²)

∴ C(N(t)) = 30,000 + 6,400,000 t - 40,000 t²

- C(N(t) = C(t)

∴ C(t) = 30,000 + 6,400,000 t - 40,000 t²

The cost C as a function of t is C(t) = 30,000 + 6,400,000 t - 40,000 t²

A truck's gas tank holds 50 gallons of gas. if one gallon takes 30 seconds to pump, how many minutes will it take to fill the em
umka2103 [35]
To find how long it will take to fill the tank, you can use the idea that every 30 seconds will get you one gallon closer to being full.

This means to fill 50 gallons, you will need 50 groups of 30 seconds.  

50 x 30 = 1500 seconds

1500/60 = 25 minutes.

It will take 25 minutes.  

You could also think of it as filling 2 gallons every minute.  It would take 25 of these.
