Let the speed of Brian = X

Brian drove at X miles per hour for 4 hours

Jake drove at X-15 for 4 hours

Set up an equation to get:

4x + 4(x-15) = 500 miles

Simplify:

4x + 4x -60 = 500

8x - 60 = 500

Add 60 to both sides:

8x = 560

Divide both sides by 8:

X = 560/8

X = 70

Brian's speed was x = 70 miles per hour.

Jake's speed was x - 15 = 70-15  = 55 miles per hour.

A Blimp is 400 feet in the air. There is an angle of depression of 40 degrees to a football stadium. How far is the Blimp from t
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the stadium and the blimp is shown in the attached photo. A right angle triangle, ABC is formed. Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression. This mean that they are equal. So angle A =40 degrees.

The distance of the the Blimp from the stadium is x feet which is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Applying trigonometric ratio,

Sin 40 = 400/x

xsin40 = 400

x = 400/sin40 = 400 / 0.6428

x = 622.3 feet

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 - 6x

F(x)=x(x^2-5x-6)

F(x)=x(x-6)(x+1)

So, x=0,-1,6
