Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at 85 miles per

hour. The westbound train
travels at 75 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to be 192 miles apart?
Do not do any rounding.

Answer:

It will take 1 hour and 12 minutes for the two trains to be 192 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance between the two trains is the distance traveled by both trains. The distance traveled by the eastbound train is 85 mph * elapsed time and the distance traveled by the westbound train is 75 * elapsed time.

The combined formula is distance traveled = speed of first train * elapsed time + speed of second train * elapsed time.

Since the elapsed time is equal for both trains then the formula is modified as distance traveled = (speed of first train + speed of second train) * elapsed time.

Solving for the elapsed time

distance traveled = (speed of first train + speed of second train) * elapsed time

192 miles = (85mph + 75 mph) * elapsed time

192 miles = 160 mph * elapsed time

elapsed time = 192 miles / 160 mph

elapsed time = 1.2 hours

elapsed time = 1 hour and 12 minutes

It will take 1 hour and 12 minutes for the two trains to be 192 miles apart.

The change in the value of an account when given to the nearest dollar?
devlian [24]
What changes may occur if the given dollar will be rounded off to its nearest value.
<span>There will only be 2 chances, the dollar will become smaller or bigger. Why? </span>
Because in mathematical rules of rounding off numbers:
number below 5 will be round down and 5 and up will be rounded up.
For example:
You have a bill of $6.79  since the number next to the decimal point in the right is 7, it will be rounded up to $7.
<span>But if your bill is $6.25, it will be rounded down to $6.00

Find the values of x and y. Pls helpI’m helpless at math
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

  • x = 1
  • y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right-angle triangle

The angle = ∠60°

  • The adjacent to the angle ∠60° is 1/2.
  • The opposite to the angle ∠60° is y.

The hypotenuse = x

<u>Determining the value of x:</u>

Using the trigonometric ratio

cos 60° = adjacent / hypotenuse

substituting adjacent = 1/2 and hypotenuse = x

cos\:60^{\circ }=\:\:\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{x}

\cos \left(60^{\circ \:}\right)=\frac{1}{2x}

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2x}          ∵ cos (60°) = 1/2

2x=2

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{2}{2}

Simplify

x=1

Thus, the value of hypotenuse x is:

x = 1

<u>Determining the value of y:</u>

Using the trigonometric ratio

sin 60° = opposite / hypotenuse

As we have already determined the value of hypotenuse x = 1

substituting opposite = y and hypotenuse = 1

sin 60° = y/1

y = 1 × sin 60°

y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}       ∵  \sin \left(60^{\circ \:}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Therefore, the value of y is:

y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}      

Summary:

  • x = 1
  • y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

What is the domain and range of -4.92x² + 17.96x + 575
klio [65]

The domain of the function is D ∈ R or (-∞, ∞) and the range of the function is R ∈ (591.39, ∞)

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a function:

f(x) = -4.92x² + 17.96x + 575

The above function is a quadratic function and we know,

The quadratic function domain is all real numbers.

The domain of the function is all real numbers or

D ∈ R or (-∞, ∞)

The range:

From the graph of a function:

The maximum value of the graph:

f(1.825) = 591.39

So the range of the function:

R ∈ (591.39, ∞)

Thus, the domain of the function is D ∈ R or (-∞, ∞) and the range of the function is R ∈ (591.39, ∞)

What was the approximate number of mobile cellular subscriptions per 100 people in zimbabwe in 2003?
Leona [35]
In this case, i think you just need to divide the amount of telephone subscription and divide it among 100 people

For example, let's say that there is around 2,000,000 subscription for 100,000 users.
The amount would be : 2,000,000 / 1,000
= 2,000 number of mobile per 100 people

hope this helps

Molly earns a rebate each month on her movie tickets and books. She earns $0.25 for each movie ticket and $2 for each book. Last
UNO [17]

the algebraic expression is 4(0.25)+2x=17

STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

1+2x=17  or  2x+1=17

STEP 2: Subtract 1 from both sides

2x=16

STEP 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

x=8
