Distance = speed * time
d = st

The sports car travels d distance for t time at speed, s, 95 mph until it overtakes the family
car.
The equation for the sports car is
d = 95t

The family car travels the same distance, d, but since it left 4.5 hours earlier  than the sports car, it travels for t + 4.5 time until it is overtaken. It travels at speed, 35 mph.
The equation for the family car is
d = 35(t + 4.5)

We solve the two equations as a system of equations.

d = 95t
d = 35(t + 4.5)

Since d = d, set the right sides of the equations above equal to each other.

95t = 35(t + 4.5)

95t = 35t + 157.5

60t = 157.5

t = 2.625

The answer is 2.625 hours, or 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 30 seconds.

Check:
In 2.625 hours, the sports car travels: 95 mph * 2.625 h = 249.375 miles
The family car traveled 2.625 hours plus the extra 4.5 hours, or 7.125 hours.
In 7.125 hours, the family car travels 35 mph * 7.125 h = 249.375 miles.
The cars have traveled the same distance 2.625 hours after the sports car left, so our answer is correct.

BRAINLIEST!!<br> 1. Identify the domain and range of each function.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The fourth listed answer:

Domain: All Real numbers

Range : { f{x) | f(x) \leq 0, f(x) = 1 }

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain consists of all Real numbers (notice that you have a well defined f(x) value for all possible x on the horizontal axis.

The Range is associated with the set of those f(x) values (on the vertical axis) that are connected via the functional relationship with a value  "x" of the domain. The line with positive slope extends to all f(x) values that are \leq 0 (smaller than or equal to zero). While the flat horizontal line on the right of the plot corresponds to the line f(x) =1 (only one value of f(x) [1} connects with the x-values of the Domain that are larger than 3.
