24x^2 +25x - 47 53

----------------------- = -8x -3 - ---------------

ax-2 ax-2

add 53/ax-2 to each side

24x^2 +25x - 47+53

----------------------- = -8x -3

ax-2

24x^2 +25x +6

----------------------- = -8x -3

ax-2

multiply each side by ax-2

24x^2 +25x +6 = (ax-2) (-8x-3)

multiply out the right hand side

24x^2 +25x +6 = -8ax^2 +16x-3ax +6

24 = -8a 25 = 16 -3a

a = -3 9 = -3a

a = -3

Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

STatiana [176]

We can find the acceleration via

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

We have

$\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}$

Then by definition of average acceleration,

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t$

so that

$-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

$v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2$

Then

$\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

A winery has a vat with two pipes leading to it. The inlet pipe can fill the vat in 5 hours, while the outlet pipe can empty it

Rashid [163]

Answer:

$time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

The rates are additive: you can calculate the inlet rate and the outlet rate and add them algebraically, i.e. the inlet rate will be positive and the outlet rate will be negative.

1. Inlet rate:

$1vat/5hours$

2. Outlet rate:

$1vat/8hours$

3. Net rate:

$\text{Inlet rate - outlet rate}=1vat/5hours-1vat/8hours\\\\ \text{Net rate}=(8-5)vat/40hour=3vat/40hour=(3/40)vat/hour$

4. Time to fill the vat

$rate=amount/time\implies time=amount/rate\\ \\ time=1vat/(3vat/40hour)$

$time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours$

If y varies directly with x and y = -15 when x = 3, find x when y = 10.

Anika [276]

Answer:

like here x= 3 and y= -15

here, its 5 times goes in negative

now if y = 10 TO X IS 5 TIME POSITIVE HERE = 10×5 = 50
