Suppose that a cyclist began a 476

Mathematics
1 answer:
mojhsa [17]3 years ago
6 0
Well, we know the cyclist left the western part going eastwards, at the same time the car left the eastern part going westwards

the distance between them is 476 miles, and they met 8.5hrs later

let's say after 8.5hrs, the cyclist has travelled "d" miles, whilst the car has travelled the slack, or 476-d, in the same 8.5hrs

we know the rate of the car is faster... so if the cyclist rate is say "r", then the car's rate is r+33.2

thus    \bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\textit{eastbound cyclist}&d&r&8.5\\
\textit{westbound car}&476-d&r+33.2&8.5
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=8.5r\\\\
476-d=(r+33.2)8.5\\
----------\\
476-\boxed{8.5r}=(r+33.2)8.5
\end{cases}

solve for "r", to see how fast the cyclist was going

what about the car? well, the car's rate is r + 33.2

Mrac [35]

Answer:

There are 12 golden retrievers in the park

Step-by-step explanation:

100% is 60 dogs so if 100% is equal to 60 then 20% should be the answer.

100 ÷ 5= 20

60 ÷ 5= 12

amount of dogs in the park : golden retrievers

60 : 12

Tina is finding the quotient of. Is she correct? If not, what changes should be made?
Mice21 [21]

For this case, we must find the quotient of

(15x ^ 3 + 12x ^ 2-9x) divided by3x, to verify if Tina was correct.

So:

\frac {15x ^ 3 + 12x ^ 2-9x} {3x} =\\\frac {15x ^ 3} {3x} + \frac {12x ^ 2} {3x} - \frac {9x} {3x} =\\5x ^ 2 + 4x-3

So, Tina was wrong, she had to divide by 3x.

Answer:

Option B

If f(x)=x*−81 and g(x)=(x−9)−1(x+9), find g(x)×f(x).
Nostrana [21]
F(x) = x²-81

g(x) = (x-9) -1(x+9)

= (x-9) -x-9


g(x) • f(x)



= [x²-81 ] • [ (x-9) -x-9 ]

=[ x²-81 ] • [ (x-x -9-9) ]
= [ x²-81 ] •[0-18]
= [ x²-81] •[ -18]

= -18•x² +-81•-18
= -18x²+1458

Calculate the average rate of change of f(x) = x2 - 1 x - 4 for 2 ≤ x ≤ 6.
Monica [59]
The average rate of change is (total change in f(x))/(total change in x) so

r=(f(6)-f(2))/(6-2)

r=(36-6-4-4+2+4)/4

r=7
