The distance between the trains is changing at the rate of (70 -60) = 10 mph. They will be in the same place (45 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 4.5 hours after they leave their respective cities. They will be 10 miles apart both 1 hour before that time and one hour after that time.

The trains will be 10 miles apart 3.5 hours after leaving.

They will be 10 miles apart the second time 5.5 hours after leaving.

so basically, one train has a head start of 45 miles

we assume that the slower train has the head start because if the faster train had the head start, then faster train would just get farther and farther away from the slower train (distance≥45mi for all time)


so

set a 0 point

lets say that at t=0, fast train has traveled 0 and slow train has traveled 45

distance=speed times time+headstart

so dist_fast=70*t+0=70t

dist_slow=60*t+45=60t+45


when will the distance between them be 10?

there will be a time when slower train will be in front and when fast train will be in front

when slow train is in front, dist_slow-dist_fast=10 or

60t+45-70t=10

solve for t

60t+45-70t=10

-10t+45=10

minus 45 both sides

-10t=-35

divide both sides by -10

t=-3.5 hrs



when fast train is ahead, dist_fast-dist_slow=10

70t-(60t+45)=10

70t-60t-45=10

10t-45=10

add 45 to both sides

10t=55

divide both sides by 10

t=5.5 hrs





so after 3.5hrs is the first time they are 10 miles apart

after 5.5 hours is the 2nd time they are 10 miles apart

The distance from the school to the library is 12 miles. The distance from the school to the park is 75% of this distance.
strojnjashka [21]
75% of 12 can be represented with the equation 75/100=x/12

Then to solve
75(12)= 100x
900 = 100x
9=x

So the distance from the school to the park is 9 miles.

Mar 12: 3

Answer:

  • Mar 18: 125
  • Mar 19: 318
  • Mar 20: 743
  • Mar 25: 15,070

Step-by-step explanation:

The six seemingly arbitrary points have no common difference or ratio, so cannot be modeled by a linear or exponential function.

The differences of the differences are not constant at any level, so the only polynomial model is 5th-degree. It is ...

  (6n^5 -95n^4 +600n^3 -1825n^2 +2814n -1320)/60

where n = days after Mar 11. (Mar 12 corresponds to n=1.) The domain is n ≥ 1.

____

The 5th-degree polynomial increases very fast, but not as fast as an exponential function would.

The values for Mar 12 through Mar 25 are ...

  3, 8, 11, 16, 25, 50, 125, 318, 743, 1572, 3047, 5492, 9325, 15070
