A car passes a landmark on a highway traveling at a constant rate of 45 kilometers per hour. One hour later, a second car passes

<u>Answer:</u>

2 hours 15 mins

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know,

the speed of car 1 = 45 kilometers per hour; and

the speed of car 2 = 65 kilometers per hour

Assuming the time for the 2nd car to catch the 1st one to be t, we can write the distance equation:

65t=45t+45

65t-45t=45

20t=45

t=45/20

t=2.25

2.25 hours = 2 hours + (0.25 * 60) min = 2 hours 15 mins

Therefore, it takes 2 hours 15 mins for the second car to overtake first car after it passes the landmark.

A car passes a landmark on a highway traveling at a constant rate of 45 kilometers per hour.

Let t be the time taken by second car

So t+1 is the time taken by first car

Distance = speed * time

Distance traveled by first car = 45 * (t+1)

second car passes the same landmark traveling in the same direction at 65 kilometers per hour

Distance traveled by second  car = 65 * (t)

When second car overtakes the first car then their distance are same

65 t = 45(t+1)

65t = 45t + 45

Subtract 45 t from both sides

20t = 45

Divide both sides by 20

so t = \frac{45}{20}=\frac{9}{4}=2.25

It took 2.25 hours for the second car to overtake first car

Identify the two rational numbers 2.7182818459, 2.777777, square root 3, -7/3
Tasya [4]

Answer:

2.777777 and -7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2.7182818459 cannot be written in fraction form therefore it is irrational.

2.777777 is rational because it can be written as the fraction 25/9

The square root of 3 is 1.7320508075688772, this number cannot be written as a fraction so it is irrational.

-7/3 is rational because it is already in fraction form.

You find an interest rate of 10% compounded quarterly. Calculate how much more money you would have in your pocket if you had us
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

step 1

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

r=10\%=10/100=0.10\\n=4  

substitute in the formula above

A=P(1+\frac{0.10}{4})^{4t}  

A=P(1.025)^{4t}  

Applying property of exponents

A=P[(1.025)^{4}]^{t}  

A=P(1.1038)^{t}  

step 2

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

A=P(e)^{rt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest in decimal  

t is Number of Time Periods  

e is the mathematical constant number

we have  

r=10\%=10/100=0.10  

substitute in the formula above

A=P(e)^{0.10t}  

Applying property of exponents

A=P[(e)^{0.10}]^{t}  

A=P(1.1052)^{t}  

step 3

Compare the final amount

P(1.1052)^{t} > P(1.1038)^{t}

therefore

Find the difference

P(1.1052)^{t} - P(1.1038)^{t} ----> Additional amount of money you would have in your pocket if you had used a continuously compounded account with the same interest rate and the same principal.
