Question 374756: Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels

at 75 miles per hour. The westbound train travels at 95miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to be 238 miles apart?

Let the number of hours = X

Multiply the speed of each train by the number of hours (x) and add them together to equal the total miles:

75x + 95x = 238

Simplify:

170x = 238

Divide both sides by 170:

x = 238/170

x = 1.4 hours.

Check:

75 x 1.4 = 105 miles

95 x 1.4 = 133 miles

105 + 133 = 238 miles

It will take 1.4 hours ( 1 hour and 24 minutes).

the derivative of the function f is given by f'(x)=x^2cos(x^2). How many points of inflection does the graph of f have on the op
Vsevolod [243]
The point of inflection is calculated by equating the second derivative to zero and determining x from there.

f"(x) = -x²2xsinx² + cosx²(2x) = 0

2xcosx² - 2x³sinx² = 0
2x (cosx² - xsinx²) = 0

2x = 0   ⇒  x = 0
cosx² - xsinx² = 0   ⇒ x = 3.82 (if you use shift+solve in your scientific calculator)

Thus, the function only has 1 point of inflection and it is at x = 0.
