Two trains leave stations 252 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 80 miles per hour

while the other travels at 100 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet?

First things first, distance = speed x time
So let's have "t" represent the time by both trains.
The first train shall be Train A and the other becoming Train B, so now we have Train A going 80t miles and Train B going 100t miles.


If two trains head toward each other, they will have traveled a total of 252 miles. The faster train will have traveled further (Train B), so the meeting point will be closer to the slower train's starting point (Train A).

So now we do 80t + 100t = 252
Which becomes 180t = 252
And by diving 252 by 180, you'll get that t is 1.4
This would mean they would meet at one hour and 24 minutes.

A rectangular area is to be fenced in with 300 feet of chicken wire. find the maximum area that can be enclosed.
GarryVolchara [31]
Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.

2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x

A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)

The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150

So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.

A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625

So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.

What is the surface area of the figure?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The total surface area = 582 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of it count the number of faces at first

The figure has 8 faces each 2 are equal

1- Two faces with dimensions 4 ft and 15 ft ( base and shaded face)

2- Two faces with dimensions 9 ft and 4 ft

3- Two faces with dimensions 4 ft and 6 ft

4- Two faces with dimensions 15 ft , 9 ft and 6 ft

Area of (1-) = 2(4 × 15) = 120 ft²

Area of (2-) = 2(4 × 9) = 72 ft²

Area of (3-) = 2(4 × 6) = 48 ft²

Area of (4-) = 2[(9 × 9) + (6 × 15)] = 2[81 + 90] = 2 × 171 = 342 ft²

∴ The total surface area = 120 + 72 + 48 + 342 = 582 ft²

Use these functions to answer the questions.
Elenna [48]
Part A
We have f\left(x\right)=\left(x+3\right)^2-1. To solve for the x-intercept, we set f(x) equal to 0.  That is
     \left(x+3\right)^2-1=0

     \left(x+3\right)^2=1

Take the square root of both sides, 
     x+3=1

     x=-2

The x-intercept is (-2,0). 

To solve for the y-intercept, we set x=0. That is 
     y=\left(0+3\right)^2-1=3^2-1=9-1=8

The y-intercept is (0, 8) 

The coordinates of the optimum point are actually the vertex which can be easily seen from the vertex form equation given above. The minimum point is (-3, -1).

Part B.
We have g\left(x\right)=-2x^2+8x+3.
Factor out -2
     =-2\left(x^2-4x\right)+3

Complete the square
     =-2\left(x^2-4x+4\right)+3-2\left(4\right)

Simplify
     g(x)=-2\left(x-2\right)^2-5

Part C
We have h\left(t\right)=-16t^2+28t.
The maximum height is 12.25 feet after 0.875 seconds from the time of the jump. The dolphin will be back in the water after 1.75 seconds. The graph of the jump is shown in the photo.

What is the length of an arc defined by a 60 degree central angle in a circle with a radius of 5 in.?
Natali [406]

Answer:

5.24 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length is calculated as

arc = circumference × fraction of circle

     = 2πr × \frac{60}{360}

     = 2π × 5 × \frac{1}{6}

     = \frac{10\pi }{6} ≈ 5.24 in (2 dec. places )

Cassandra assigns values to some of the measures of triangle ABC. If angle A measures 30°, a = 6, and b = 18, which is true?
Anna [14]

Answer:

The triangle does not exist because sin(A)/a can not be equal to sin(B)/b

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

step 1

Find the measure of angle B

Applying the law of sines

\frac{sin(A)}{a}=\frac{sin(B)}{b}

we have

A=30\°

sin(30\°)=1/2

a=6\ units

b=18\ units

substitute

\frac{(1/2)}{6}=\frac{sin(B)}{18}

\frac{1}{12}=\frac{sin(B)}{18}

sin(B)=\frac{18}{12}

sin(B)=\frac{3}{2}=1.5

Remember that the value of sine can not be greater than 1

therefore

The triangle does not exist because sin(A)/a can not be equal to sin(B)/b
