Answer:

Smallest rate for the train is 50 mph and largest is 60 mph.

For the bus it is 25 and 30 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed of the train is 2x then speed of the bus is x mph, and the train travels twice as far as the bus in a given time.

Distance = speed * time

For the largest rate:

d =  2x * 0.5   for the train

x = d

0.5d  =  x       for the bus

d - 0.5d = 15

0.5d = 15

d = 30

So the rate for the train =  30 / 0.5 = 60 mph.

In a similar fashion we can show that the smallest rate for the train is

25/ 0.5 = 50 mph.

I need help finding the answer to this question on edge.
Aliun [14]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to evaluate :-

\rm\implies \displaystyle\rm\sum^4_n   (-1)^n (3n + 2 )

Here the \Sigma is the sum operator . And here we need to find the sum from n = 1 to n = 4 . We can write it as ,

\rm\implies (-1)^1 ( 3*1 +2) + (-1)^2 ( 3*2+2) + (-1)^3(3*3+2) + (-1)^4(3*4+2)

Now we know that for odd powers of -1 , we get -1 and for even powers we get 1 . Therefore ,

\rm\implies -1 ( 3 + 2 ) + 1 (6+2)+-1(9+2)+1(12+2)

Now add the terms inside the brackets and then multiply it with the number outside the bracket . We will get ,

\rm\implies -1 * 5 + 1 * 8 + -1*11 + 1*14 \\\\\rm\implies -5 + 8 - 11 + 14 \\\\\rm\implies\boxed{\quad 6 \quad}

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>required</u><u> answer</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>6</u><u>.</u>

If x and Y are positive integers ,is x - y always positive ? Explain
kykrilka [37]
No not always, because x could be a smaller number than y which would make it an negative. If x is bigger than y most likely it will be, but not always.

You tape two pieces of paper together that each measure
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The paper is 60.73 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two pieces of paper each measure 41.36 cm, so those together would be 82.72 cm. Subtracting the 21.99 that is cut off, you're left with 60.73 cm. Hope this helped!
