Corinne and Aretha are having a 26-mile race. Corinne gave Aretha a head start by letting her begin 3.5 miles in front of the st

art line. Their distances past the start line as the race has progressed can be represented by linear functions and are shown in the table and graph below. How many minutes after the start of the race will Corinne catch Aretha?

From the table, the speed of Corinne is given by

speed=slope= \frac{2.5-1.25}{20-10} = \frac{1.25}{10} =0.125 \ miles / minute

From the graph, the speed of Aretha is given by

speed=slope= \frac{5.5-4.5}{20-10} = \frac{1}{10} =0.1 \ miles / minute

The distance from the starting point of Corinne at any time t is given by D = 0.125t while the distance from the starting point of Aretha at any time t is given by D = 3.5 + 0.1t

Let t be the number of minutes after the start of the race when Corinne catchs Aretha, then

0.125t = 3.5 + 0.1t
0.025t = 3.5
t = 3.5 / 0.025 = 140

Therefore, the number of <span>minutes after the start of the race that Corinne will catch Aretha</span> is 140 minutes.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The explanation is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

Her error is that she multiplied the possibilities of her meal that involves eggs with milk, granola & oatmeal but the possibilities involves orange juice with egg and granola & oatmeal

Now

If she choose milk so she can select eggs, granola, and oatmeal so there are 3 possibilities also with the orange juice there is 3 possibilities

So, the sample space is

= 3 + 3

= 6 outcomes

A flagpole is located at the edge of a sheer y = 70-ft cliff at the bank of a river of width x = 40 ft. See the figure below. An
Gnom [1K]
I would solve this using tangents.  Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.

Now write the tangent ratios:
tan A = \frac{h+70}{40}  , tan B = \frac{70}{40}

Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent
tan (A-B) = \frac{tanA - tanB}{1+tan A  tan B}
Plug in what we know:
tan(9) = \frac{ \frac{h+70}{40} -  \frac{70}{40}}{1+ (\frac{h+70}{40})(\frac{7}{4})}
tan (9) = \frac{ \frac{h}{40}}{ \frac{7h +650}{160}} = \frac{4h}{7h+650}
h = \frac{650 tan(9)}{4-7 tan(9)}
h = 35.6
