Answer:
45 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
At 30 mph for 1/4 hour, Peter has a 7.5 mile head start. After he leaves, Mitchell closes that gap at the rate of 40-30 = 10 miles per hour. It will take him ...
t = d/s
t = (7.5 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 0.75 h
to catch Peter.
Mitchell will catch Peter in 45 minutes.
__
<em>Alternate Solution</em>
Another way to look at it is that Mitchell's 10 mph advantage is 1/3 of Peter's speed, so it will take 1/(1/3) = 3 times the period of Peter's head start:
3 × 15 minutes = 45 minutes . . . for Mitchell to catch Peter
_____
You can write equations involving time and distance and see where the distances traveled become the same. You need to be careful choosing the time reference, since you're concerned with Mitchell's travel time. I personally prefer to work "head start" problems by considering the differences in time and speed, as above. This is where you end up using the equations approach, anyway.
Answer:
(-∞,∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain is all possible x values of the function
There are no constraints or holes for this and therefore the domain is all real numbers
We want to know the time, <em>t</em>, it takes the ball to reach a height (<em>y</em>) of 0.

We can factor out the GCF first. The largest number that will divide evenly into 16 and 24 is 8. Also, both terms have a <em>t</em>, so we can factor that out as well:

(-16/8 = -2 and 24/8 = 3)
Using the zero product property, we know that either 8t=0 or -2t+3=0. Solving the first equation, we would divide both sides by 8:
8t/8=0/8
t=0
This is at 0 seconds, before the ball is in the air at all.
Solving the second equation, we start by subtracting 3 from both sides:
-2t+3-3=0-3
-2t=-3
Now we divide both sides by -2
-2t/-2=-3/-2
t=1.5
After 1.5 seconds, the ball will hit the ground again.
