Answer: 460.6 miles South of Chicago

Explanation:

1) <span>The City of New Orleans leaves Union Station in Chicago at 6:00 am and travels south to New Orleans. The train travels the 930.0 miles to New Orleans at an average speed of 79.0 miles per hour.

Scheme:


 →to south                                                    ←to north
                |----------------------|---------------------|
               A          x             X      930.0 - x    B
            6:00 am                                          6:00 am
           →                                                      ←
           v = 79.0 mi/h                                     v = 81.1 mi/h


=> x = 79.0 mi/h * t

2) at the same time the City of Chicago leaves New Orleans and travels north to Nhicago. The train travels the 930.0 miles to Chicago at an average speed of 81.1 miles per hour.

930.0 - x = 81.1 mi/h * t

3) How many miles south of chicago do the two trains pass each other?

Divide the two equations:

930.0 - x         81.1*t
------------- =   ----------
      x                 79*t

t cancels out =>

930.0 - x         81.1
------------- =   --------
     x                 79.0

Solve:

81.1x = 79.0(930.0 - x)

81.1x = 79.0 * 930.0 - 79.0x

81.1x + 79.0x = 73,470

=> 160.1x = 73,470

=> x = 73,470 / 160.1

=> x = 460.6 mi

4) Answer 460.6 miles South of Chicago.

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is an algebraic equation of the second degree in x. The quadratic equation in its standard form is ax²+ bx + c = 0, where a and b are the coefficients, x is the variable, and c is the constant term.

-16t²+32t+5

by comparing this equation to the standard form of the quadratic equation we get

a=-16 b=32 c=5

the time (t) needed for the ball to reach its maximum height using the axis of symmetry formula (x = -b/2a) for a parabola:

the time at which the ball reaches the maximum height using the axis of symmetry formula is (x=-b/2a)

t = -32/2×-16

t=1sec

by putting h(t) to zero and determining the time (t) when the ball hits the ground:

-16t²+32t+5=0

-16(t²+2t+5/16)=0

t²-2t-5/16=0

(t)²-2×1×t+(1)²-5/16=1

(t-1)²=21/16

t-1=√21/√16

t=1+4.58/4

t=1+1.145

t=2.245sec
