Two children own two-way radios that have a maximum range of 3 miles. One leaves a certain point at 1:00 P.M., walking due north
Grace [21]

Answer:

The answer is 21 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the equation Xf = Xo + vt

1) At 1:00 PM, child one leaves the starting point heading north at a constant velocity of 6 mi/hr or .1 [mi/min] (divide by 60 to convert from [mi/hr] to [mi/min])

2) He walks for 15 minutes before kid 2 starts walking. In 15 minutes he is able to cover 1.5 [mi]

  • x_{1f1} =x_{o} +v_{1} t_{1} \\x_{1f1} =0+.1(15)\\x_{1f1} =1.5 [mi]

3) Now, child 2 starts walking and we know that when the range reaches 3 miles, they won´t be able to communicate. So the sum of the final position of child 1 and child 2 must be 3[mi]

  • Child 1 final position => x_{1f} = x_{1f1} +v_{1} t\\x_{1f} =1.5+v_{1} t
  • Child 2 final position => x_{2f} =0+v_{2} t

4) Sum the equations and equate to 3

  • x_{1f} +x_{2f} =3

5) Substitute the values we already know

  • 1.5+v_{1} t+v_{2}t=3\\ 1.5+.1t+.15t=3\\1.5+.25t=3\\t=\frac{3-1.5}{.25} \\t=6 [min]

6) in 15 + 6 minutes they will be 3miles apart

7) In 21 minutes they will still be able to communicate with one another.

Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation 0 = 4x2 + 2x – 1 into the quadratic formula bel
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

x = StartFraction negative 2 plus or minus StartRoot 2 squared minus 4(4)(negative 1) EndRoot Over 2(4) EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^2+bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

in this problem we have

4x^2 + 2x - 1=0

so

a=4

b=2

c=-1

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-2(+/-)\sqrt{2^2-4(4)(-1)} }{2(4)}

therefore

x = StartFraction negative 2 plus or minus StartRoot 2 squared minus 4(4)(negative 1) EndRoot Over 2(4) EndFraction

why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller?
Scrat [10]
Because 3^2 = 9
When you do (⅓)^2 what you are really doing is
(1^2)/(3^2) = 1/9


If you have (⅔)^2 you do
(2^2)/(3^2) = 4/9

Fractions get smaller because the denominator is also being squared which makes the denominator get bigger and when the denominator is bigger, you are dividing by a larger number which gives you a smaller answer. Whereas when you raise a whole number to an exponent, only the numerator get bigger because the denominator is 1 and 1 raised to any exponent is still 1

3^2 = (3^2)/(1^2) = 9/1 = 9
