Two trains 500 miles apart accidentally are on the same track heading toward each other. The passenger train is traveling 80 mph

while the freight train is traveling 40 mph. A dispatcher discovers the error and warns them 1 minute before they were to collide. How far apart, in miles, were they when they were warned?

Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Their combined speed (speed of closure) is 80 mph + 40 mph = 120 mph.

120 mi/h = 120 mi/(60 min) = 2 mi/min

The distance between the trains at the 1-minute mark is ...

(1 min) · (2 mi/min) = 2 mi

They were warned when two miles apart.

Hey guys so I have a question I am not really sure about and confused so let's say we have an inequality its
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an easier way

-10p\left(-70\right)\left(-1\right)\\\\Simplify\\\left(-10p\right)\left(-1\right)>\left(-70\right)\left(-1\right)\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}10\\\frac{10p}{10}>\frac{70}{10}\\\\Simplify\\p>7

I think this is what u meant

\frac{-10p}{-10} < \frac{-70}{-10} \\\\p > 7

If the set U = {all positive integers} and set A = {x|x ∈ U and x is an odd positive integer}, which describes the complement of
dlinn [17]

Answer: Choice D) set of even integers

=======================================================

Explanation:

U = universal set = {all positive integers} = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...}

A = {stuff in set U that is odd} = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ...}

A^c = {stuff in set U but NOT from set A} = {2, 4, 6, 8, ...}

A^c = {set of even numbers from set U}

In set theory, the complement is simply the complete opposite. If the number 7 is found in set A for instance, then 7 is not going to live in the complement A^c

The opposite of the odd numbers is the set of even numbers.

Therefore, we go for <u>choice D</u> as our final answer.

Side note: if we union set A with its complement A^c then we get the universal set as a result. A \cup A^c = \text{universal set} = \text{set of all positive integers}
