Answer:64mi/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

V=speed × time

V=s×t .....equation (1)

v=576

for taking one hour: t-1

speed is: s+8

From equation(1)

V=(s+8)(t-1)

(s+8)(t-1)=576

Expand the bracket

st-s+8t-8=576

Substitute the value of st which is 576

576-s+8t-8=576

Collect the like terms

-s+8t-8=0

s=8t-8

Subtitude into the value of s

576= (8t-8)×t

576=8t^2-8t

8t^2-8t=576

8t^2-8t-576=0 (divide both by 8)

t^2-t-72=0

By factorization method

Product is (-9 and 8)

(t-9)(t+8)=0

t=9 or t=-8

V=s×t

576=s×9

9s=576

s=576/9

s=64mi/hour

Shtirlitz [24]
Answer: Choice D)
S(x) = 6x^2 - 20x

-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

x = side length of base
x*x = x^2 = area of base

The top also has an area of x^2 since the base and top are both congruent squares. The total base area is x^2+x^2 = 2x^2

The height h is 5 inches shorter than the base, so
h = (base length) - 5
h = x-5

Each lateral side is of area h*x = (x-5)*x = x^2-5x

There are 4 lateral sides
Total lateral area = 4*(area of one lateral side)
Total lateral area = 4*(x^2-5x)
Total lateral area = 4*x^2-4*5x
Total lateral area = 4*x^2-20x

Add the total lateral area (4x^2-20x) to the total base area (2x^2)

Doing so gets us
S(x) = Total Surface Area
S(x) = (Area of bases) + (area of lateral sides)
S(x) = (2x^2) + (4x^2-20x)
S(x) = (2x^2+4x^2) - 20x
S(x) = 6x^2 - 20x
which is why the answer is choice D

ILL GIVE 50 POINTS
Burka [1]

Answer:

Option 3 is right

Start at the origin. Move 3 and one-half units down because the x-coordinate is Negative 3 and one-half. Negative 3 and one-half is between -3 and -4. Move 2 units right because the y-coordinate is -2.

Hope this helps:)
