Answer:

(i) 15 m, 6 m/s

(ii) 90 m

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) For some acceleration (a) from rest, the distance covered (d) in time t is ...

d = (1/2)at^2

The distance covered by Ben in the 5 seconds he is accelerating is ...

d = (1/2)(1.2 m/s²)(5 s)² = 15 m

Of course, Ben's speed at that point is ...

s = (1.2 m/s²)(5 s) = 6 m/s

(ii) When Ben has been walking 5 s, Alan has been walking 10 s, so Alan has covered (10 s)(4 m/s) = 40 m. Their distance difference of 40 -15 = 25 m is being made up at the rate of their speed differences: (6 m/s) -(4 m/s) = 2 m/s.

It will take (25 m)/(2 m/s) = 12.5 s additional time for Ben to catch Alan. In the 22.5 s that Alan has been walking before they meet, he will have walked ...

(22.5 s)(4 m/s) = 90 m . . . the distance OP

Using the linear combination method what is the solution to the system of linear equations 7x - 2y = -20 and 9x + 4y = -6

Ghella [55]

x should equal -2 and y should equal -3 to solve this i multiplied the first equation by 2 then got rid of the 4y and -4y then i added the 14x to the 9 equaling 23x and added the -40 to the -6 which became 23x=-46 i solved this getting -s for x, then i plugged that into the equations to get y which was -3

Solve for x. 3/x-1 - 1/x^-1=5/x-1 Please show all work

navik [9.2K]

3/(x-1) - 1/(x^2-1) = 5/(x-1)

Subtract 3/(x-1) from both sides

-1/(x^2-1) = 2/(x-1)

Factor x^2 - 1

-1/[(x-1)(x+1] = 2/(x-1)

Multiply by (x-1)(x+1) on both sides

-1 = 2 (x+1)

-1 = 2x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides

-3 = 2x

Divide by 2 on both sides

-3/2 = x

Expand and simplify A. (x – 2y)(y – 3x) B. (2p+3)(p^2-4p-7)

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A. (x−2y)(y−3x)

=(x+−2y)(y+−3x)

=(x)(y)+(x)(−3x)+(−2y)(y)+(−2y)(−3x)

=xy−3x2−2y2+6xy

=−3x2+7xy−2y2

B. (2p+3)(p2−4p−7)

=(2p+3)(p2+−4p+−7)

=(2p)(p2)+(2p)(−4p)+(2p)(−7)+(3)(p2)+(3)(−4p)+(3)(−7)

=2p3−8p2−14p+3p2−12p−21

=2p3−5p2−26p−21
