Answer:

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

Step-by-step explanation:

They are driving toward each other, in opposite directions.

So to find their speed of approximation, we add their speeds.

19 mph + 15 mph = 34 mph.

This means that each hour, they are 34 miles closer.

How long it takes for them to find each other if they are 50 miles apart?

1 hour - 34 miles

x hours - 50 miles

34x = 50

x = \frac{50}{34}

x = 1.47

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

Factor completely 36x2− 121.
lesantik [10]
The expression 36x² - 121 is in the 'difference of two squares form' which is (a² - b²)

Factorising (a² - b²) gives (a+b)(a-b)

Factorising 36x² - 121 gives (6x+11)(6x-11)

Is the following graph a function true/false
ehidna [41]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

At any X point, there should be only one Y point. So at X=1, function should intercept Y axis only at a single point, whereas this graph intercepts it two times. It is not a function, but it is a graph.
