Two cyclists, 112 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast as the other, and the

y meet after 4 hours of riding.
a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem. Use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist.

b. What are the speeds of the two cyclists? Put both values in the answerbox, separated with a comma, and select the appropriate units.

Answer:

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr

Solve for x. x/2+1= √3
podryga [215]
X=1.464102
Simplifies to: (1/2x)+1=1.732051

Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides.
1/2x + 1 -1=1.732051-1
(1/2x)=0.732051

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 2
2*(1/2x) = (2) * (0.732051)
X=1.464102

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation below in factored form?
saw5 [17]

Answer:

\cfrac{-4}{3} and \cfrac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

\rm \:  \: (2x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0

Solution:

Set factors equal to zero,that is:

(2x - 1) = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: ...(1)

(3x + 4) = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: ...(2)

Solving for equation 1:

  • 2x - 1 = 0
  • 2x = 0  + 1
  • 2x =  1

  • \boxed{x =  \cfrac{  1}{2} }

Solving for equation 2:

  • 3x + 4 = 0
  • 3x = 0 - 4
  • 3x =  - 4

  • \boxed{x =  \cfrac{ - 4}{3} }

Hence,the solutions to the quadratic equation in factored form is \cfrac{-4}{3} and \cfrac{1}{2}.

Good luck on your assignment!
