Two points move along a circle of length 120m with a constant speed. If they move in different directions, then they meet every

15 seconds. When going in the same direction, one point catches up to the second every 60 seconds. Find the speeds of the points.

Let x and y be the speeds of the two points. The circle is of length 120m that is Circumference of circle is 120m.When the points are moving in opposite directions, they meet in every 15 seconds.That is the points cover 120m in 15 seconds.As they are moving in opposite directions, so the relative speed will be equal to the sum of speeds of both points.Speed= Distance ÷Time = 120÷15=8m per seconds.

x+y=8

When going in the same direction, one point catches up to the second every 60 seconds.Speed= 120÷60=2 m per seconds

x-y=2.

Solving the two equations by elimination method:

x+y=8.

x-y=2

Adding the equations:

2x=10 ,x=5m / sec.

x+y=8

5+y=8

y=3m/sec.

Thus, the speed of the two points is 5 m/s and 3 m/s.

1. Suppose that a theater charges a school group $4.50 per student to show a special film. Suppose that the theater's operating
elixir [45]

The functions I(x) and E(x) of the theatre's income and expenses are illustrations of linear functions.

<h3>The equation of the theatre's income</h3>

The theatre charges $4.50 per student.

Assume the number of students is x, the equation of the theatre's income would be:

I(x) = 4.5x

<h3>The equation of the theatre's expenses</h3>

The theatre expense per student is $1.25, and the operating cost on the staff is $130

The equation of the theatre's expenses would be:

E(x) = 1.25x + 130

<h3>Complete the table</h3>

Using the formulas I(x) = 4.5x and E(x) = 1.25x + 130, the complete table is:

Students, x  0       10        20     30      40      50      60    70

Income, I      0      45        90     135     180    225    270   315

Expenses, E 130  142.5   155    167.5   180   192.5   205  217.5

<h3>The graph of the theatre's income and expenses</h3>

See attachment

<h3>The pattern by which theatre's income and expenses increase</h3>

The functions I(x) and E(x) are linear functions.

So, the pattern with which the functions increase is a linear pattern.

<h3>The number of students when the theatre's income and expenses are equal</h3>

This means that:

I(x) = E(x)

So, we have:

4.5x = 1.25x + 130

Subtract 1.25 from both sides

3.25x = 130

Divide both sides by 3.25

x = 40

Hence, the number of students is 40

<h3>The theatre profit</h3>

This is the difference between the theatre expenses and their income.

So, we have:

P(x) = E(x) - I(x)

This gives

P(x) = 1.25x + 130 - 4.5x

Simplify

P(x) = 130 - 3.25x

<h3>Solution to the inequalities</h3>

We have:

E(x) < 255

This gives

1.25x + 130 < 255

Subtract 130 from both sides and divide by 1.25

x < 100 students

Also, we have:

I(x) > 675

This gives

4.5x > 657

Solve for x

x > 146 students

Hence, the number of students for the inequalities are less than 100 and greater than 146
