Two cars left the city for a suburb, 480 km away, at the same time. The speed of one of the cars was 20 km/hour greater than the

speed of the other, and that is why it arrived at the suburb 2 hour earlier than the other car. Find the speeds of both cars.

Answer:

  • <u>80km/h and 60km/h</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Data:</u>

i) Distance traveled by the cars:

  • d = 780 km

ii) Speed of the cars:

  • v₁ and v₂
  • v₁ = v₂ + 20 km/h

iii) Time to arrive at the suburb:

  • t₂ - t₁ = 2 hour ⇒ t₂ = t₁ + 2

<u>2. Equations:</u>

  • speed = distance / time

        time  = distance / speed

  • t₂ = 480 / v₂
  • t₁ = 480 / v₁ = 480 / (v₂ + 20)

               t₂        -       t₁                =  2 hour

               ↓                 ↓                    ↓

           480/v₂    -  480/ (v₂ + 20) =  2

             

<u>3. Solve the equation</u>

     480(v₂ + 20) - 480(v₂) =  2 × (v₂ + 20) (v₂)

     240(v₂ + 20) - 240(v₂) =  (v₂ + 20) (v₂)

     240v₂ + 4800 - 240v₂ =  (v₂)²  + 20v₂

      (v₂)²  + 20v₂ - 4800 = 0

      (v₂ + 80) (v₂ - 60) = 0

      v₂ = - 80

      v₂ = 60

Only the positive solution has physical meaning:

  • v₂ = 60km/h                                      ← answer
  • v₁ = 60km/h + 20km/h = 80km/h     ← answer

Which of the following lists contains only even numbers?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

An even number is a number divisible by 2 and be an integer. An example would be 4/2 = 2

An incorrect even number would be 5

5/2 = 2.5 which isn't odd or even because it isn't an integer.

Use the change-of-basis identity,

\log_x(y) = \dfrac{\ln(y)}{\ln(x)}

to write

xyz = \log_a(bc) \log_b(ac) \log_c(ab) = \dfrac{\ln(bc) \ln(ac) \ln(ab)}{\ln(a) \ln(b) \ln(c)}

Use the product-to-sum identity,

\log_x(yz) = \log_x(y) + \log_x(z)

to write

xyz = \dfrac{(\ln(b) + \ln(c)) (\ln(a) + \ln(c)) (\ln(a) + \ln(b))}{\ln(a) \ln(b) \ln(c)}

Redistribute the factors on the left side as

xyz = \dfrac{\ln(b) + \ln(c)}{\ln(b)} \times \dfrac{\ln(a) + \ln(c)}{\ln(c)} \times \dfrac{\ln(a) + \ln(b)}{\ln(a)}

and simplify to

xyz = \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)}\right) \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)}\right) \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)}\right)

Now expand the right side:

xyz = 1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~+ \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(a)}{\ln(b)\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(b)}{\ln(b)\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)\ln(b)}{\ln(c)\ln(a)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(a)\ln(b)}{\ln(b)\ln(c)\ln(a)}

Simplify and rewrite using the logarithm properties mentioned earlier.

xyz = 1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(c)} + 1

xyz = 2 + \dfrac{\ln(c)+\ln(a)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)+\ln(b)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)+\ln(c)}{\ln(a)}

xyz = 2 + \dfrac{\ln(ac)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(ab)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(bc)}{\ln(a)}

xyz = 2 + \log_b(ac) + \log_c(ab) + \log_a(bc)

\implies \boxed{xyz = x + y + z + 2}

Logan paid 2.16 dollars for 3 lollipops. Each lollipop cost c cents. Create an equation and solve to find the cost of one lollip
Nutka1998 [239]
We can set up the equation as follows:
3c = 2.16, and dividing by 3 on both sides, we get:
c = 0.72.
Each lollipop cost 72 cents.

$43 shirt; 6% tax round to the nearest cent
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
If you would like to know how much did the shirt cost after 6% tax, you can calculate this using the following steps:

6% of $43 = 6/100 * 43 = $2.58

$43 + $2.58 = $45.58

The correct result would be $45.58.
