M = hours driven by Maria

c = hours driven by Carlos

since we know that Carlos was driving at an average of 52 mph, then in 1 hour he drove 52 miles, in 2 hours he drove 2*52 miles in "c" hours he drove c*52 miles or 52c.

Maria on the other hand is faster and does 54 mph, in 1 hour she does 1 * 54 miles, and on 2 hours she does 2 * 54 miles and in "m" hours she does m * 54 miles or 54m.

now, we know the total amount of miles they both drove is 217, so whatever "m" and "c" are we know that 54m + 52c = 217.

we also know it took 4.1 for the whole trip, so m + c = 4.1.

\bf \begin{cases}
m+c=4.1\implies \boxed{c}=4.1-m\\
54m+52c=217\\
-------------\\
54m+52\left( \boxed{4.1-m} \right)=217
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
54m-52m+213.2=217\implies 2m=3.8
\\\\\\
m=\cfrac{3.8}{2}\implies m=1.9

so Maria drove for 1.9 hours.

How many hours did Carlos drive for?  well, c = 4.1 - m.

The function h is defined as follows.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The equation you are given is a quadratic. The standard form of a quadratic is y = a(x-h)2 + k where (h,k) is the vertex of the graph, which is a parabola. Vertically moving the graph 4 units upward means that you are moving k +4 units.

y = a(x-h)2 + k            standard form

y = 5x2 - 4                  original equation

y = 5(x-0)2 - 4            re-written in standard form

h = 0     k = -4

Four (4) units up is k + 4--->-4 + 4 = 0.

Therefore, f(x) = 5x2 + 0--->f(x) = 5x2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3=x/6=9/y to find the value of y in this proportion you must divide 54 by
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

You must divide 54 by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x}{6}=\frac{9}{y}

Step 1

Solve for x

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x}{6}

3x=6*2\\x=12/3\\x=4

Step 2

Find the value of y

\frac{x}{6}=\frac{9}{y}

Substitute the value of x

\frac{4}{6}=\frac{9}{y}

4y=9*6\\y=54/4\\y= 13.5

therefore

You must divide 54 by 4
