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.

the function f is defined by f(x)=150/x-z where z is a constant. find z if the value of f at x=1/5 is equal to 250
malfutka [58]

Answer:

x = -1 \frac{1}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(\frac{1}{5}) = 120, therefore we can create this equation:

120 = 150 ÷ (\frac{1}{5} - z)

cross-multiply to get: 24 - 120z = 150

-120z = 126

z = -1 \frac{3}{60}

Answer:

If this is for a triangle then the answer is 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles are always 180° so if you have a right angle know that, that means the angle is 90°. So angle CAB is 90° and angle DAB is 45°. You take 180° and subtract 90° which leaves you with 90°. Then you take that 90° and subtract 45° and that leaves you with 45°.
