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

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

A. Positive

Step-by-step explanation:

They ask us about the relationship between reading and grades.

First you have to go to the first part of the statement that says:

"Dr. Yancy conducted a correlation study in which she found that the more time children in her study read at home the better they performed in school"

In this case they tell us that there is a positive correlation, that the more you read the better your performance in school is.

Performance is your grades, and home study can be reading, so the score is positive in the second half, too.

BRAINLIEST MATH okurttttt
Zepler [3.9K]

In the given question, \sqrt{x-1}is shifted one unit to the right of \sqrt{x}

So, Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is \sqrt{x} and transformed function is \sqrt{x-1}

So, Parent Function: \sqrt{x}

Transformed Function: \sqrt{x-1}

  • If transformed function is of type: g(x) = f(x-h), then the graph is shifted to right h units.

So, In the given question, \sqrt{x-1}is shifted one unit to the right of \sqrt{x}

So, Option C is correct.
