The rate of Car A is x
The rate of Car B is x - 5

They travel the same distance. So we can make an equation:

4(x) = 4.5(x-5)

Solve for x.

4(x) = 4.5(x-5)
4x = 4.5x - 22.5

Subtract 4.5x on both sides

-0.5x = -22.5

Divide by -0.5 on both sides
x = 45

But we want the speed of Car B which is x - 5

So Car B's speed is 45 - 5 = 40

Your answer is 40

Find the value of the discriminant for <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7x%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B5x%2B1%3D0" id="TexFormula1" title="7
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

No real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7x² + 5x + 1 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 7, b = 5, c = 1

To determine the nature of the roots use the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then roots are real and distinct

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then roots are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then the roots are not real

Here

b² - 4ac = 5² - (4 × 7 × 1) = 25 - 28 = - 3

Thus the 2 roots are not real

salantis [7]

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + y^2 = 14

(x-y)^2  x^2 + y^2 - 2xy = 14 -2 * (-15) = 44
