Answer: Train A = 50 mph; Train B = 30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, let's call the speed of both trains as:

Va: speed of train A

Vb: speed of train B

As train A is faster than train B, let's call speed of train B as X; So if Vb is X, then Va would be:

Vb = X

Va = X + 20

If we combine both Speed, we have:

V = Va + Vb = X + X + 20 = 2X + 20

Now that we have an expression for the combined speed, let's recall the formula for speed in general:

V = d/t

Where:

d: distance = 240 miles

t: time = 3 hours

Combining all the data we have:

V = 240/3

but V is 2X + 20 so:

2X + 20 = 240/3

Solving for X:

2X + 20 = 80

2X = 80 - 20

2X = 60

X = 60/2

X = Vb = 30 mph

Now that we know speed of one train, we can know the speed of the other train:

Va = 30 + 20 = 50 mph

Line segment AB has a length of 4 units. It is translated 2 units to the right on a coordinate plane to obtain line segment A'B'
JulijaS [17]
4 units, because a translation is a rigid motion, meaning it preserves segment length.

The number N of cars produced at a certain factory in 1 day after t hours of operation is given by Upper N (t )equals 800 t minu
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The cost C as a function of t is C(t) = 30,000 + 6,400,000 t - 40,000 t²

Step-by-step explanation:

The function N(t) = 800 t -  5t², represents the number of cars produced at a time t hours in a day, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 10

The function C(N) = 30,000 + 8,000 N, represents the cost C​ (in dollars) of producing N cars

We need to find The cost C as a function of the time t

That means Substitute N in C by its function by other word find the composite function (C о N)(t)

∵ C(N) = 30,000 + 8,000 N

∵ N(t) = 800 t - 5 t²

- Substitute N in C by 800 t - 5 t²

∴ C(N(t)) = 30,000 + 8000(800 t - 5 t²)

- Multiply the bracket by 8000

∴ C(N(t)) = 30,000 + 8000(800 t) - 8000(5 t²)

∴ C(N(t)) = 30,000 + 6,400,000 t - 40,000 t²

- C(N(t) = C(t)

∴ C(t) = 30,000 + 6,400,000 t - 40,000 t²

The cost C as a function of t is C(t) = 30,000 + 6,400,000 t - 40,000 t²
