Let d represent the distance of the destination from the starting point.

After 45 min, Henry has already driven d-68 miles.  After 71 min., he has already driven d-51.5 miles.

So we have 2 points on a straight line:

(45,d-68) and (71,d-51.5).  Let's find the slope of the line thru these 2 points:

                                 d-51.5 - (d-68)         16.5 miles
slope of line = m = ----------------------- = ------------------
                                     71 - 45                   26 min

Thus, the slope, m, is   m = 0.635 miles/min

The distance to his destination would be d - (0.635 miles/min)(79 min), or 

d - 50.135 miles.  We don't know how far his destination is from his starting point, so represent that by "d."

After 45 minutes:  Henry has d - 68 miles to go;

After 71 minutes, he has        d - 51.5 miles to go; and

After 79 minutes, he has         d -  x miles to go.  We need to find x.

Actually, much of this is unnecessary.  Assuming that Henry's speed is 0.635 miles/ min, and knowing that there are 8 minutes between 71 and 79 minutes, we can figure that the distance traveled during those 8 minutes is

(0.635 miles/min)(8 min) = 5.08 miles.  Subtracting thix from 51.5 miles, we conclude that after 79 minutes, Henry has (51.5-5.08), or 46.42, miles left before he reaches his destination.

Please! Solve f(x)-g(x) if f(x)=1/2x^4 - x^2 and g(x)= 3/4x^4 +3x^3 - x^2
igomit [66]

Answer:

f(x)-g(x)=\frac{-1}{4}x^{4}-3x^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a subtraction between polynomials, since both functions are polynomials, hence, to solve the problem with need to perform the subtraction, by coefficients.

f(x)= \frac{1}{2}x^{4}+0x^{3}-x^{2}\\\\g(x)=\frac{3}{4}x^{4}+3x^{3}-x^{2}

By performing the subtraction, we have:

f(x)-g(x)=\frac{-1}{4}x^{4}-3x^{3}

If anyone could please help me with this question???I know that you can get three triangles out of the shape.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar because  the angles marked 125 are equal and the sides either side of these angle are in the same ratio:

1.3 / 2.5 = 2.6 /5.

If we are given the length of AE we would find CF from the equation:

1.3 / 2.5 = CF / AE

CF = (1.3 * AE) / 2.5.
