Answer:

the cyclists rode at 35 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the cyclists stopped, and accelerated instantaneously at the same speed than before but in opposite direction , then

distance= speed*time

since the cyclists and the train reaches the end of the tunnel at the same time and denoting L as the length of the tunnel :

time = distance covered by cyclists / speed of cyclists = distance covered by train / speed of the train

thus denoting v as the speed of the cyclists :

7/8*L / v = L / 40 mph

v = 7/8 * 40 mph = 35 mph

v= 35 mph

thus the cyclists rode at 35 mph

Rearrange 3x - 6y = -2 to the form y=mx + c
wel

3x - 6y = -2

-6y = -3x - 2, divide through by -1

6y = 3x + 2, divide through by 6

y = 3x/6 + 2/6

y = x/2 + 1/3

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180, so the equation will be :
2k+k+45= 180
add similar variables
3k+45=180
3k=135 (divide each side by 3)
k= 45
So 2k equals= 90
k=25
This is right angle triangle for your info!

3. Kurt's car gets 23 miles to a gallon of gasoline. He filled up his car's gas tank with g gallons. Write an expression that sh
ozzi

The expression D=23g shows the distance that Kurt can drive on a tank of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by Kurt's car = 23 miles per gallon of gasoline

Kurt fills up tank of his car with g gallons.

Number of gallons in car's tank = g gallons

Distance covered by g gallons = D = Distance covered by one gallon * Number of gallons

D = 23*g

D = 23g

The expression D=23g shows the distance that Kurt can drive on a tank of gasoline.

Consider the expression 2√3 cos(x)csc(x)+4cos(x)-3csc(x)-2 √ 3 This expression can be represented as the product of the factors.
Alla [95]

Answer with explanation:

The given expression is:

 2 \sqrt{3}\cos x * \csc x+4 \cos x-3 \csc x-2\sqrt{3}\\\\=2 \cos x*(\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)-\sqrt{3}*(\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)\\\\\rightarrow (2\cos x -\sqrt{3})*(\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)\\\\\rightarrow (2\cos x -\sqrt{3})*(\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)=0\\\\(2\cos x -\sqrt{3})=0 \wedge (\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)=0

  \cos x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \wedge \csc x=\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\x=\frac{\pi}{6},2\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}\\\\x=\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{11\pi}{6} \wedge x=\pi+\frac{\pi}{3} ,2\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\\\\x=\frac{4\pi}{3},\frac{5\pi}{3}\\\\x={\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{11\pi}{6},\frac{4\pi}{3},\frac{5\pi}{3}}
