Answer:

Both trains meet at 10 am.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Find the time Los Angeles bound train takes to travel 400 miles</em>

Speed = 80 mph

Distance = 400

Time = T1

Train leaves at 9 am

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 400/80

Time = 5 hours

<em>Step 2: Find the time Sacramento bound train takes to travel 400 miles</em>

Speed = 60 mph

Distance = 400 miles

Time = T2

Train leaves at 7 am

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 400/60

Time = 6.67 hours

<em>Step 3: Calculate the time when both trains will meet</em>

<u>Los Angeles bound train</u>

Leaves at 9 am

1 hour at 10 am

2 hours at 11 am

3 hours at 12 pm

4 hours at 1 pm

5 hours at 2 pm (reaches destination)

<u>Sacramento bound train</u>

Leaves at 7 am

1 hour at 8 am

2 hours at 9 am

3 hours at 10 am

4 hours at 11 am

5 hours at 12 pm

6 hours at 1 pm

7 hours at 2 pm

Both trains will meet at 10 am where the Los Angeles bound train reaches in 1 hour and the Sacramento bound train reaches in 3 hours.

For each diagram, describe a translation, rotation, or reflection that takes line ℓ to line ℓ′. Then plot and label A′ and B′, t
inn [45]

Answer:

  1. translate down 3
  2. reflect across the horizontal line through A

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There are many transformations that will map a line to a parallel line. Translation either horizontally or vertically will do it. Reflection across a line halfway between them will do it, as will rotation 180° about any point on that midline.

In the first attachment, we have elected to translate the line down 3 units.

__

2. Again, there are many transformations that could be used. Easiest is one that has point A as an invariant point, such as rotation CW or CCW about A, or reflection horizontally or vertically across a line through A.

Any center of rotation on a horizontal or vertical line through A can also be used for a rotation that maps one line to the other.

In the second attachment, we have elected to reflect the line across a horizontal line through A.
