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.

What are the zeros of the function f(x)=x^2-2x-15?
valkas [14]
To find the zeros of this function, we must first set the entire function equal to 0

f(x) = x² - 2x - 15 = 0

Since this is a quadratic function, we must use the quadratic formula, which is:

\frac{-b +/-  \sqrt{b^{2} - 4(a)(c) } }{2a}

Let's assign a, b, and c using our first function
x² means a = 1 (because it could be written as 1x²)
-2x means b = -2
-15 means c = -15

Now let's plug those in:

\frac{-(-2) +/- \sqrt{(-2)^{2} - 4(1)(-15) } }{2(1)}

which simplifies to:

\frac{2 +/- \sqrt{(4 + 60} }{2}

Simplified further:

\frac{2 +/- \sqrt{(64} }{2}
\frac{2 +/- 8 }{2}
And divide it by the 2 on the bottom gives us:

2 +/- 4

2+4 = 6
2-4 = -2

So the zeros of this function are -2 and 6

Choose the best reason for using the median as the measure of central tendency.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The median is usually preferred in these situations because the value of the mean can be distorted by the outliers. However, it will depend on how influential the outliers are. If they do not significantly distort the mean, using the mean as the measure of central tendency will usually be preferred.

I need help finding x
Nastasia [14]
All sides of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Since we know one angle is 93 degrees, we know that the top part is going to equal 180 degrees. We know that two of those measurements are 93 and 45, so we add those together to get 138. We subtract this from 180 to find the missing angle, which is 42 degrees. So, the left side of the triangle is equivalent to 45 degrees and the right side (x) is 42 degrees. 93 + 45 + 42 = 180. If it was asking for the measurements of the supplementary angles to the bottom angles of the triangle, then those would be (for 45) 135 and (for 42) 138, that way both angles and their supplements add up to 180 each. I hope this helps and that it’s right
