A simple diagram will show you the intersection of altitudes is in the 2nd quadrant. It must have x-coordinate -2, as the altitude to the "base" y=10 must be the vertical line through (-2, 4).
The appropriate choice is ...
... C: (-2, 12)
"Step 1: log 3^(x+1) = log15" is the step among the following choices given in the question that she did incorrectly. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.
Answer: the rate of speed for train A is 66 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of train B.
2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles per hour slower than train B. This means that the speed of train A would be x - 16 miles per hour.
The two trains are 720 miles apart after 4 hours. It means that both trains traveled a total distance of 720 miles in 4 hours.
Distance = speed × time
Distance travelled by train A after 4 hours is
4(x - 16) = 4x - 64
Distance travelled by train B after 4 hours is
4 × x = 4x
Since the total distance travelled by both trains is 720 miles, then
4x - 64 + 4x = 720
8x = 720 - 64 = 656
x = 656/8 = 82 miles per hour
The speed of train A would be
82 - 16 = 66 miles per hour.
Remember that
1m=100cm
8m=800cm
800m=80,000cm
